Magic remote refuses to wake up

[Dennis Hansen]

Hi 

Does anyone have a solution for how to get the magic remote to wake up instantly?

I have to wait for ar least a minute for the pointer to appear on screen.

Even after pressing the 'home' button?

Shaking it strongly, that is what I do.

I have similar problem, my previous LG the remote woke up instantly, sometimes even with slightest bump. 

But with C9, i have to shake it or press a button to wake it up, this is an annoying feature. I want the cursor to come to the screen without shaking for 5-10 seconds. 

Any solution for this?

The cursor should appear if you rotate the wheel. Though depending on what you're doing that may also have the effect of changing the channel or something else.

Also remember the magic remote eats batteries at an incredible rate so problems are often due to the batteries getting low.

I tried repairing... and it works for a while. Subsequently I found that I have another nagging problem which was the wired connection disconnected and reconnected frequent popup. After I solved that, this problem seems to have gone away.

Keep in mind that the Magic Remote uses more power. So I had the same problem until I replaced the batteries
