Vizio SV470M IR sensor problem

Re: Vizio SV470M IR sensor problem

Well, writing to a new EEPROM fixed my buttons but the remote still does not work and I have no sound. Also I think I need to start freezing the bad EEPROM before copying them, something I have never done before. That freeze spray is around $18 a can

I been so busy I have not had time to play around with this TV but when I get a chance I will try everything, even replacing the CPU. At least we might not what the cause is.

Use canned air duster upside down for cooling.

The canned air duster is cheaper but the lowest I can find is $7.00 a can. I did order the freeze spray for $17.00 and it will be delivered today.

Looks like I made a spelling error in my last post and did not catch it in time to correct it. "At least we might not what the cause is." Was suppose to say "At least we might know what the cause is."

It would be cool if I used the AC unit to freeze the EEPROMs, I could make an apparatus to sit on the cooling coil like with a IC clip or something and the copy the EEPROM, just a thought and I would not have to keep buying spray.

Perhaps something like a peltier device. Never done it but they cool one side and heat the other side.

That sounds like a perfect idea. $1.50 on eBay. Now that is the least expensive method so far. I just searched online and it actually freezes. Someone said they had there's at -15 degrees. The cooler you keep the hot side the colder the cold side will get. This is fantastic.

I got my can of free spray delivered, it says on the can "up to -65 degrees" I better not miss and get it on my skin.
