Remote not communicating with TV

My elderly mom has an 2002 EWF2702 Emerson TV and this seems to be a close model #.  In the past few weeks both her Emerson remote and a universal remote stopped working.  TV works fine if you use controls on the front of the set.  I have changed batteries, unplugged everything and checked connections and reprogrammed channels.  I wondered if the sensor could be bad, if that is an expensive fix or looking for any other advise of suggestions.  Don't have the manuel but see the one for 2704 online here.

    Thanks, I will try this, but it does seem strange that two different remotes would have the same problem suddenly (and the universal remote is only about a month old).

    Hi i am having the same exact problem i have an Emerson EWF2704 and i cannot get either remote to work the one that came with it or the universal remote i have asked people and they said it may be the remote sensor in the television and i am with the other guy isnt it strange that the universal remote won't work also?

    WE HAVE TRIED THE CLEANING OF THE CIRCUIT BOARDS, BOUGHT 4 DIFFERENT REMOTE CONTROLS THAT WERE "CAMPATIBLE" WITH THE TV--BUT HAVE NOT HAD ANY SUCCESS AT ALL. ALSO UNABLE TO LOCATE SERVICE MANUALS. AGAIN -- WOULD THIS BE AN EXPENSIVE REPAIR??

    PS-- THIS ALSO HAPPENED LAST OCTOBER BEFORE WE OBTAINED THE INTERNET. STRANGE--ISN'T IT?

Remote doesn't work for model ewf2702

Check the infrared emission from the remote control. If it is OK, the infrared sensor inside the TV is faulty. To get more details about how to check a remote control, visit the site named 'Electro-help'. You can search for it either by Google or yahoo.

I have an Emerson EWF2702 model flat screen TV that just developed a remote control signal recognition problem. Is it the remote (w/new batteries) or the IF sensor inside the TV box? Is it a diy fix or...

Hi,

There is a simple way to check whether your remote is still sending a signal to the TV. The infra-red flashes from the remote cannot be seen with the naked eye, but they ARE visble when viewed through a video camera. It's easier to do this with 2 people, but it can be done by one person with the camera in one hand and the remote in the other. Just point the remote at the camera and press some buttons. If you can't see the flashes through the camera view finder, it's likely the IR transmitter in the remote is dead. If you can see the flashes, it's likely to be the IR receiver in the TV.

I've used an analogue (tape) video camera for this test, but there's no reason why it wouldn't work on a digital video camera or possibly even a digital/phone camera.

Hope this helps.

Regards,
BElectric

I have a emerson 32 inch tv ewf2702. The remote does not work

try scanning your TV channels down or up depending how close you are to the first or last channel you have programmed, if you continue to move past those settings you should come to the game channel for your TV, if it does not go into your menu>channel settings>manual settings, scan to the game channel and make sure it lists as active if not make it so.

Emerson EWF2702 27" TV

Hi,
I had the same problem it ended up being the speakers I had on top of my tv, so I had to move them. If you have anything on top of your tv with a signal move it. :)

Remote will no longer work

Your best bet is to buy a universal remote that would work with your model television or a replacement remote from your manufacturer.

This one is pretty cheap (and may be your exact remote?)

You could probably buy a universal remote cheaper at walmart or target, but the cost savings will cost you the time and hassle to program the remote (and if you buy a universal, you must make sure it works with emerson TVs).
