What is the make and model number of this TV? LG TV?
Testing remote control:
The remote control puts out IR (InfraRed) signal that human eyes cannot see, to find out if the remote is sending out the signal or not you just point the remote at the digital camera's Lens (Digital Camera can detect IR), you should see flashing light on the camera's screen when any one of the remote button is pushed. If you do see the flashing on the camera, then the problem is in the TV IR receiver or the main logic board; more troubleshooting with scope will be needed to look at the signals.

LG:
1) Test the remote:
The remote control puts out IR (InfraRed) signal that human eyes cannot see, to find out if the remote is sending out the signal or not you just point the remote at the digital camera's Lens (Digital Camera can detect IR), you should see flashing light on the camera's screen when any one of the remote button is pushed. If you do see the flashing on the camera, then the problem is in the TV IR receiver or the main logic board; more troubleshooting with scope will be needed to look at the signals.

2) If the remote checked out OK, then look at the back of the TV for the "REMOTE INPUT", use a mini-phone plug and insert the plug into the remote input jack in and out a couple times to clean the switch contacts that select between the front IR receiver of the TV or the rear panel IR input jacks

    My TV set is a LG 37LB5D and it think after many research on the net, it's a kind of a common trouble ...
    As suggested, i clean the "remote input jack" and everything is back to normal.
    Easy and affordable solution instead of calling a service man...$$$

    Thank you!

My Roku flat screen tv the original remote broke so I bought a RCA 3 universal remote and I can't get it to connect

Question edited for clarity. It is a 'Roku', not a 'ruko'.

Roku is a streaming service and not a television manufacturer. The put their badge on a television made by an established maker that also has their streaming service built in, or with a set top/side dongle.

https://www.roku.com/en-ca/products/roku-tv

https://www.fixya.com/support/r29872378-universal_remotes_no_facsimile_remote

You buy the remote SPECIFICALLY for the television you own. That is done by the model number.

If you purchased an extended warranty for the TV then you will need to call 1-866-839-4481 That number is for Assurant Solutions who handle the warranties sold by Circuit City and other dealers. If its under manufactures warranty still, then call the manufacturer via the number provided in your owners manual and they will assist in locating an authorized servicer in your area.

Bought a fairly used 2003 HDTV 4 months ago, Didnt come with remote but got a Universal I used that worked, my friend took the batteries out for a while for something else, we put the batteries back in...

Hard to say what the code is without knowing the model number of the remote and the brand of TV.

RCA's website has a remote code finder you can use.

Good luck!

LCD TV Remote quit working

Hi,
First thing, turn off the TV and unplug it for about 2-3 minutes. Remove also the batteries on your remote. Re-install the batteries on the remote and plug in your TV. Power on your TV using the remote. No luck?
Norcent may not be supported by a universal remote. If you just bought your unit new (maybe Best Buy who carries this brand) you are still covered by its warranty. Below are ways you can reach Norcent.
