Hi,
To confirmed if the remote control is working fine, aim the remote control sensor(IR emitter) directly to your cellphone camera. While pressing any button key on the remote control, you can see the flash of an infrared emitted by the remote control if it is working fine.


If you've confirmed that the remote control emitted an infrared but still the tv won't communicate with it, this is an indication of faulty IR sensor board of the TV. Check if there's an obstruction from the IR receiver in front. Keep away all of it, clean the plastic window of the IR receiver with soft clean cloth.
If the symptoms still persist, you have to replace the IR sensor board. Check the actual part no. of the board before ordering.

Hope I helped you.
Have a nice day!
Thanks for using Fixya.

Turn on but remote doesn't work

I would try new batteries first. If that doesn't help then replace the remote with a universal unit that you can program to work with your TV.

94 full size blazer keyless remote doesn't work.

Does the spare remote work? Have you tried to reprogram it? These remotes are very cheaply made and prone to key pad failure. To program the remote click this LINK, if that doesn't work buy anew one on eBay for cheap.

I bought a Radio Shack universal remote. It does not list Element codes. I've done the suggestions but it doesn't work. What are Element's codes??

hello!
"Element" codes could be: Polaroid, MAG, LG, Vizio.
Have you tried "code search" mode on universal remote? If you won't find the luck of those "brands" I suggested, do "code search". Refer to remote's owners manual. I did the same for myself: obtained RCA convertor box, without remote, RCA codes won't work, RCA is out of TV business. By using "code search" I made it work. Then, you may want to do "code retrieval" option, to know the correct code.
good luck,
Alex.

Can i use a universal remote on a gas heater Coonara Grange? Unit was a in store demo and remote was missing A new one is $300

If the universal remote is compatible with a milllivolt gas control valve receiver or it comes with a millivolt receiver that can be wired into the heater, then it should work. If it doesn't do or have any of the aforementioned, then, no it probably won't work. The hand held remote and the receiver frequency have to match or be capable of being reprogrammed.

Hope this helped to answer your question.
