To whom it may concern,
I'm looking for a component number for the real camera light LED. I am also looking for the manufacturer of that LED as it is not freely available in South Africa. I would like to know this not for repair but rather for a project I'm busy with and I need LED's with exceptional brightness. The W550i has one of the brightest LEDs I have seen but its difficult to find out whose manufacturing them.
Can anyone please help me in this regard.
Kind regrds.

The infrared (IR) LED / remote may have stopped working. Since it emits IR light when used, you won't be able to actually see the light with the ***** eye. This makes it difficult, but not impossible to determine if the LED / remote is working or not. You can see if it works by pointing it a night time security camera - the type that has it's own built in IR LEDs to light up the area and does not need visible light to shine on the area (some video cameras can also "see" this light when playing back video taken of an active IR light source). Either record or have someone watch the display while pressing a button on the remote and aiming at the camera. You should be able to do this in broad daylight it will look like a flashlight shining into the camera.
If the LED in the remote is proved to be functioning, the IR receiver in the switch, or some other internal part of the switch may have failed. Since the receiver doesn't light up - there's no way to determine if this is the case without actually replacing the switch. It doesn't matter really, as there are no user replaceable parts in the switch - it either works, or it doesn't.
Ultimately, the best way to troubleshoot will be by replacing components with known good types. Use a battery that tests "good" on a tester, in a new or known to be good remote, used on a new or known to be good switch. You'd would deal with the situation by swapping only ONE component at a time. Once you change the device that allows to circuit to work, replace the new components with the old - except to last one; as this was likely the component that caused the failure.
Try taking the remote to a Home Depot, Lowe's or other similar store with a display of these switches. Do what you need to do to your remote to see if you can control any of the switches/ lights.
Maybe the problem is in the remote. To check the remote use a cellphone camera or maybe a digital camera will do. Just focus the camera on the remote LED it is located on the top of your remote, while pressing the buttons of your remote put the camera on the LED if the remote is good you will see a blinking lights on the camera while pressing the buttons of the remote. If the light doesn't show try to replace the LED on your remote or maybe just clean it also clean the button panel with a pencil eraser, Usually the remote control is the problem, Hope this may help you if the problem still exist just email me...
Try these simple trick to find out yor remote control working or not....
Point the remote control towards the Camera of a Mobile Camera
phone,with the camera on. While pressing remote, we can see a light
(Infra Red) coming from its IR LED through the Mobile Camera if the
Remote is working. otherwise, the problem with the Remote sensor or related components of the TV.
