For this Dick Smith TV GE6878 (Thompson) I replaced the broken remote with a universal it kinda works though if its more than a few meters away sometimes the buttons register and sometimes they wont so I bought another remote from another brand and it has the same problem, I've had an old TV in the past that the sensor died completely and I replaced it to fix it could this be a similar problem? I tried looking for a service manual, spare parts for a receiver and a parts list but I couldnt find any info. can someone please help me to find the info online for a service manual or where I can buy a receiver board, I havnt taken the TV apart yet to inspect if the receiver board has a dry solder joint or dying capacitor. Thank you.

Stick an oscilloscope on the IR receiver on the TV and verify the range of the remote. I’ve seen instances of this from bad batteries in the remote (even they still measured 1.5V each, but couldn’t handle the current draw from thee remote) to bad capacitor on the IR board and over to dirt on the IR.

Hi,
I have this TV a small 20 inch that works perfectly except for the IR has stopped. I have confirmed that the remote control is fine and tried an alternative and even tried with IR blaster from phone. Remote 100% ok.
Tried installing latest firmware but no change.
TV won't respond to remote at all, not even to bring it out of standby. I have to use the touch sensitive front panel to operate, at which point TV is usable albeit with no remote.
Tried replacing the IR receiver diode/bulb on front panel and no change so put the old one back. After tracing... -
Hello all, I've been looking into this portable air conditioner's remote control and can't find what could be causing the problem - or possibly this remote is just terribly designed.
The remote only works at exactly 3V - if I drop it any lower, using my bench power supply, to say, 2.9V then the remote will not flash the display and turn off. I don't have any AAA batteries that are exactly 1.5V each so I'm not sure if this remote is designed this way - to only use the freshest possible batteries, or if there's a failed component in the mix.
I can't find any schematics... -
Hi! I have this TV set that does the following:
1) I press the red power button on the remote
2) The TV turns on normally
3) After that it won't take any other command from the remote, neither power off, volume, channel, NOTHING
4) We need to either pull the main cable or use the built in button at the bottom to select funcion OFF
Then after it's off, it would again accept the TURN ON from the remote and same again
BUT:
-The remote does show the correct IR beam while observed thru a phone camera
-The TV works fine while using the MiRemote... -
I’ve got a subwoofer that I’ve had for nearly 20 years, it did come with a basic remote which I’ve lost. It’s a generic make of subwoofer, I can’t see a brand sticker on it. It comes with 2 speakers.
Question recently I’ve connected it up to my tv which has greatly improved the sound on my tv, however I’d like to be able to mute the subwoofer when ads come on or just mute it when the phone rings etc. I tried using a cheap all in one tv remote on the subwoofer and the volume button would only work to increase volume but not turn it down or mute it
Is there... -
I have a rgb "holiday symphony" 600 led tree that I got for free but it has no remote which basically neuters the tree with just one color option and no music. The original remote is as 433.96 mhz rf remote. Here is the fcc link: https://fccid.io/2APJZ-PDT0093V.
The manufacturer is Polygroup and are absolutely no help. As they offer no replacements to the most easily lost part. All they gave me was the model number of the remote and said google it and good luck. Of course nobody is selling them. Anyways I provided pictures of the reciever motherboard along with the rgb...
