I cna see where this can be very fustrating, Allot of users draw there own conclusions without further diagnosing the issue.
1. Did you try new batteries?
2. Did you make suire the frount of the tv is free of debris that might be hampering the infra red signal from the remote?
3. Did you try a universal remote? Did it work
Before you conclude here with me make sure you have done some further testing you might have a bad reciever in the TV and not even know it. I can give you a website that sells a working remote for this tv if I may?
There at :

So if not remote works with this then your tv is the issue and not the remote. Of course there are cheaper solutions like universals for under $10 bucks so give them a try as well.
