Depending on the TV model, there were some where the IR (Infrared) board inside the TV failed. It is not the remote that failed. You can test the remote by trying it at a Best Buy store on some of their TV's. If you are somewhat handy, you can easily remove the IR board and send it into a repair service that I located on E-Bay. There was repair service in Indiana and one in California.
