codes to re-program your tv remote

   There's nothing more annoying than finally getting a chance to sit down in the evening to watch a little tv only to discover that your remote control doesn't work. You replace the batteries but this doesn't help. You give it the old bump, shake and slap against your hand, yet it still doesn't respond. Then you realize, that it must have somehow lost the programming. You scramble to find the manual, but soon realize it's like looking for a needle in a haystack or more likely the paperwork was thrown away with the packaging long ago.
   What can you do? Well, don't throw the remote away yet. In this article you will find a list of popular remotes and their codes to use now. If your brand is not listed here, I have also found some very helpful sites (links provided below this article) that you may find your brand and model number.
         I've learned a valuable lesson when it comes to losing your remote control code, since I've thrown so many away out of sheer frustration. Most codes can be found online just by doing a little research.

    When you get your correct code, here's a little trick to keep it handy for future use. Re-program your remote then write the numbers on a tiny piece of paper and place it inside your remote on top or below your batteries. This is a great place to store it for future use.

Some remotes may require you to first switch to tv mode by first pressing the tv key to switch modes, then use the power or volume keys to see if the television re-sets itself. If this doesn't work, try the codes below. If you don't see your brand here try visiting the websites below.

Here's a list universal remote codes  to try now.
