TV sensor for remote control not working

I have a 1991 13" Magnavox TV with original remote control. RC stopped working, I bought new batteries, it worked for about 30 minutes, then quit. I bought new universal and put in code and it worked for about 24 hours, then stopped. Neither one will work now. Is there a fuse that can be changed?

Fault with TV remote sensor section circuit is very rare.
Check the remote control for its infrared emission. Check it with fresh batteries. Check it by pressing all the keys. You can detect the presence of infra-red emission from the remote control, using a cell-phone camera. If you wish to get more details about how to check a remote control, please visit this site. One among the posts has details about it. In some cases, the remote control might need to clean.

SOURCE: Need RCA univeral remote control code for Magnavox 27MS343S

Push in and hold code search button until it stays lit, then pushed the TV button, it flashes quickly. Then hit the number zero once, then hit channel up button until tv finally changes channel. Hit the mute button once to get it to store the code.

SOURCE: Universal Remote not working

With nearly all brands of universal remote control, there is usually more than one code for Philips. Keep going through the codes until you find one that works correctly.

So if you know that the 1st code doesn't work, then don't save it, and move to the next.

You may find that several codes will actually put the TV into standby, but other functions will be different.

SOURCE: Need to program a universal remote to work on Magnavox TB100MW9

Most of these are new and codes do not exist for them. You'll need a universal remote that has a learning feature so it will learn the code. Walmart has them for $16-$19.

It is very very rare for this to happen. I would try other remote or you can google universal remote codes and look for other codes.

There is no TV button to press on rc-017 remote, setup instructions say press on tv button till led lights up.

If you mean the Coby RC-017 remote, it is not a universal remote that can be set to control any TV or other device. This remote will only work with the TV for which it was originally programmed. I believe it should work for a TF-TV1511, if both the remote transmitter and television IR sensor are working. Assuming you have the correct TV, try just pressing the power button.

I hope this helps.

My original RM-C1502-1C remote [gradually] stopped working. Bought a new one. This worked perfectly for 1 day then stopped working except randomly/intermittently.

Check the remote control for its infra-red emission. Check it with fresh batteries. Check by pressing each button on it at a time; and see whether all of it generates infrared signal while pressing. If it is found OK, check and replace the infrared sensor inside the TV. If you wish to get some details; check the site linked here. It has details about how to check a remote control; by one among the post. Surf the site with patience. Pull up older posts. http://electronicshelponline.blogspot.com/ If the remote control is found OK; check and replace the infra-red sensor inside the TV. Contact any service technician.

My remote control stopped working ,new batteries did not help...even tried a new one, still didn't work....any thoughts...

Get auniversal remote or a new original. If your handy you could take apart the bad one and look for bad solder contacts (or something spilled in it)

My remote works to the tv, but not to my direct tv box

Is the RC the original for direct tv box?, if not you have to find the code for the direct tv box, separate from the tv rc code.
if it is the original rc for direct tv, look for the code in the original papers from direct tv.
