Have the remote itself first checked---most tv shops have a tester--point remote at it and press buttons and it reacts-----Many digital cameras will react on their display screen in a very dark room in the same way.

If remote itself tests good the set has a receiver that takes the signal from the remote and it may be bad.

SOURCE: Remote won't work. Tried new

Hi,
To confirmed if the remote control is working fine, aim the remote control sensor(IR emitter) directly to your cellphone camera. While pressing any button key on the remote control, you can see the flash of an infrared emitted by the remote control if it is working fine.


If you've confirmed that the remote control emitted an infrared but still the tv won't communicate with it, this is an indication of faulty IR sensor board of the TV. Check if there's an obstruction from the IR receiver in front. Keep away all of it, clean the plastic window of the IR receiver with soft clean cloth.
If the symptoms still persist, you have to replace the IR sensor board. Check the actual part no. of the board before ordering.

Hope I helped you.
Have a nice day!
Thanks for using Fixya.

SOURCE: My control remote doesn't work

Hi, first if remote doesn't work, try new batteries......

If new batteries did not fix the problem, then it means the problem is either from the remote or the TV.

Remote: Check the remote battery terminal, see if its not rust. Also, disassemble the remote, can check the connection between the terminal and the remote board, see if there is no disconnection of any kind.

If after checking and all seems well, then it means the remote is defective. To confirm, borrow a remote, test it with the TV. If it works, then it means you need to replace your remote. But if the remote you borrowed does not work, then it means the problem is from the TV and not the remote.

TV: There is a sensor in the TV that communicates with the remote. If this sensor is defective, the remote won't communicate with the TV.

The TV sensor might have loosed contact from inside of the TV or it maybe defective and need to be replaced.

So do the above troubleshooting and let me know if the problem is from the TV or remote. If problem is from the remote, you need to do a replacement. But if otherwise, let me knows as well.

SOURCE: Side control doesn't work

check the owner manual (LG site has them if needed) to see if the unit has a lockout feature which will disable the side or control buttons .

Incompatibility. You may have to go for its original remote. Look through the operation manual and buy a replacement of the correct model.

Ceiling fan remote control doesn't work

Sounds like you have an add-on remote. Try changing the frequency in the receiver & transmitter. If that doesn't work you probably need a new receiver.

My TV remote control has stopped working. I've tried changing the batteries but it still doesn't work. Any tips or do I have to get a new one?

Check for rusted battery contacts due to leaked batteries. Clean them with polish paper or blade. Due to leaked batteries it is quite likely that the wires connecting remote control pcb & battery contacts are cut off.

I need a new remote for my rca t.v. the phone number in the manuel does not work who do i call

Throw your RCA TV out the highest window available. Every Phone number for service reroutes you to another wrong number or website that can't help you. I finally got a number for corporate headquarters--just to get a replacement remote for the 6 month old one that stopped working--- they actually did send me a new one. IT DOESN'T WORK! Worst customer service ever, RCA products have gone to hell and warranty is meaningless. Boycott and tell everyone you know not to buy their **** products. Drive them out of business so they stop stealing people's hard earned money.

It runs 5 to 10 minutes, then it stops. When I press the remote control boton, it works again for 5 to 10 minutes and then it stops. So I need to repress the remote control again to make it starts.

I guess you are having a problem. That model dehumidifier doesn't have a remote control. As a matter of fact, I'm not aware of any model dehumidifier that has a remote control. A remote would be useless. Now, some portable air conditioners have remote controls. Is that what you have? A portable A/C unit? Please advise. Thanks.

My logitech 890 stopped working my components. The lights are on the remote. The help key goes through it's normal functions. The remote appears to work but components do not respond. What do I do?

I would reset the remote to the factory conditions and then reload your specific configuration onto the remote. If that doesn't work I would suggest RMA'ing the remote with logitech if possible.
