    Universal Remote Control?

    Of the 3 TVs I have worked on none have came with remotes. I also notice alot of ads on craigslist for "repairable" HDTVs don't include an original remote.

    I have tried a cheap RCA with the current TV I am working on (Insignia NS-LCD37), but only Power On/Off, Channel Up/Down, and Volume Up/Down works.

    When looking on ebay for original remotes they tend to be $15 on up. $15 isn't to bad for a remote, but if you have a TV where the original remote is $25+ it would be nice if there was a cheaper universal alternative.

    Are there any cheap universal remotes that will allow you to change inputs, use the menu, and sleep timer functions?

    thanks

      I've had good success with One for All URC3940. It seems to support a good deal of branded TVs, though I haven't tried any with off brand sets. I can get them for about £5 each. (That's about $8.) This is much less than other remotes cost.

      Please do not PM me with questions! Questions via PM will not be answered. Post on the forums instead!
      For service manual, schematic, boardview (board view), datasheet, cad - use our search.

          Schematic for Denon Remote Control RC1156
          by hemant_2222
          Hello Everyone,

          Hope everyone is enjoying their repairs at hand!.

          I am looking forward to get the schematic of Denon remote control RC1156. Actually long time no use of the remote leaked the battery thereby corroding few parts as well as the tracks.

          I was able to join few of them but the remote is still not working, so i am looking forward for your help, in case anyone understand the schematic or the remote circuit diagram and could me assist me in repairing it.

          Please refer to the attached picture, i think the voltage divider is missing...

          hitachi 75hl16t64u - not responding to remote control
          by dfear
          I have a hitachi 75hl16t64u tv in for repair and it is driving me crazy.
          It came in for a power issue which I have finally resolved by replacing the power supply.

          The current issue is that the TV does not respond to the remote control. I have replaced the IR sensor board with a used one but the fault persists.

          Anyone have a clue how to fix TV?

          FYI: I have checked the remote work s by pointing it at my camera on my phone....

          wireless receiver for 6 speeds fan control with remote control
          by wolf1976
          hi i have a receiver that is destroyed from the overvoltage i guess
          my question is has three wires u v w for driving a motor fan i found an other receiver wireless from aliexpresss with the same propertiew but for dc motor
          the motor fan has not label
          i have an other receiver operational
          In your opinion can i measure the voltage at the output ?
          what do you suggest me with a simple instrument multimeter or using someone instrument more specific ?
          thanks in advance...

          Fujitsu Aircon remote control
          by t4796
          I managed to drop this recently. It fell flat and square onto the floor from about 1.8m. Can't remember if face up or face down.
          The remote still kinda works but the display is blank and only shows up if I repeatedly flick the little silver crystal/oscillator looking thing on the board.

          Not sure if this part is the culprit or if flicking it is moving something else, but it seems localised to that component as far as I can tell.

          Having trouble working out the value of it since it doesn't seem to have anything other than a brand name printed on the side of it....

          Opel Zafira remote control missing resistor
          by LordJohn
          Hello,

          Can someone help me with either diagram for the IC on the attachment, diagram of remote control it self or the value of the missing resistor liked to pin 4 on the IC in the attachment.
          I will restore the ripped traces, but the remote still be useless without this resistor.

          Thanks in advance....
