The hand held remote will not work for my toshiba tv (model #cz32v51). I put fresh batteries in and that did not help. Bought a universal remote and that did not work. There must be a remote receiver inside the tv that is the culprit. Any ideas on how to ''R&R'' this item?

Can u get into ur tv menu with the universal remote?If u can't tries it with the tv manual buttons look at on the botton of ur tv have manual button said menu.Press it go into the tv menu.Look inside the tv menu for functions like Close Caption like CC1,2,3 and Text 1,2,3 make sure all CC1,2,3 and Text 1,2,3 turn it to all off.Black square box will disapear.Can't do it in the tv manual button etheir.Try website like Remote.com to buy the tv origial remote to close Close Captioning and Text 1,2,3 to all off.

Have you make sure you were sent the correct one, according to the info for the model you give the replacement remote should be a 72796929 and it's available through the partstore.com for about 10 dollars. If you got a universal or programable remote then you'll have to try the code search procedure listed in the instruction manual. If you have the correct remote(part number) then there is a problem in the IR receiver panel or the IR receiver itself. If you have a universal remote you might want to try the dvd codes also because you have the combo/TV

You need the proper CODE associated with the Remote.
When doing a set up of the remote, the device (TV I assume) should allow you to put in a code number for that device. It should be listed on the insert manual that came with the hand held remote. Could be in the last few pages.

here's a tip to test all remotes

point it at your digital camera/webcam
although the human eye cannot see infared, your camera lense can
watch the monitor to check if its flashing.


also - if you have moved the set, perhaps something inside - such as a wire loom - has fallen in front of the infa red reciever? or it may just need the window cleaning

try 0164 - works my toshiba

I'm not interested in your services anymore. Thanks!!!

Hey Wilt: We had the same problem, for the same model of Toshiba TV. Had it repaired yesterday. Turns out the problem was the power supply (P.C.B). The total cost was $192.66 Canadian funds (taxes and labour all in). Our model was 6 years old, buts its playing like a brand new unit now. Hope this helped ...... Good luck
