Model KDL-26L5000 IR sensor not working. My remote works my other Sony TV. How much to fix?

Hi Stacy,
If you have replaced the sensor correctly and it is not working means either the remote control is not working or the TV is not responding. Please press any key on the remote control and see it through your mobile phone's camera. If the remote control is working you will see the IR led flashing. Secondly, if the TV is not responding please check the voltage on the legs of the sensor, if you are handy with a multi meter and let me know.

powersource problems, try taking it to a certified service

TV Parts Universal TV Stands DLP Chips ShopJimmy They should have the IR board for your Sony TV.

Welcome to the world of Sony **** Bravia and their **** customer service. You will find this is a HEAVILY reported problem and Sony will gladly ignore it and expect you to cough up $200 to trade out a 2 year old TV. Yes, it is the IR board. Yes, I will never buy another anything Sony.

Check your remote batt first. if batt are new, check infra red light from remote using camera (selular cam etc). If infra red flashed on cam, that indicate remote is no problem. Call technician to check your tv.

When you changed remotes, did you use the same batteries? The batteries in the remote may just be almost dead.
Clean the Plexiglas in front of the infrared receiver on the TV.

Had the same problem. The infrared receiver quit working. Could not use the factory remote or the cable remote. Simple fix- I just cleaned the infrared receiver. Both remotes now working.

check to be sure your remote is sending IR signal, with
a smart phone camera hold remote IR eye in front of camera and click any buttons on remote, you should see
a light coming from IR eye. If no light emitting, remote needs to be replaced.

I MAY have a solution!! We too have the VIP722 Dish Network receiver. Ours is the "K" model. I called the place where we purchased the TV and they said that the "brightness" on the TV may need to be turned down. He walked me through this, and it worked. The remote WORKS now!! Our TV is a 40" Sony Bravia that we purchased a couple of months ago. Evidently at night, the TV was so bright in the room, it interfered with the Infared Remote control. By turning down "off" brightness detector on the TV, the IR remote was able to send the signal to the receiver. Our TV is on a cabinet and the receiver is directly underneath on a shelf. I hope this solves your problem and anyone else's that may have this problem with the remote.
