Hi, I have a Sagem DTR67500T hard disk recorder with a dodgy IR receiver. IR only works if I have the remote within a foot of the receiver.
The problem isn't in the remote itself as it happens with multiple universal remotes too, so must be at the receiving end.
I have removed everything in front of the IR receiver and given it a clean with no improvement.
Is it likely to be the IR receiver itself that is dodgy, or some other component near it on the motherboard?
Can anyone identify the IR component, to the right of the LEDs in the photos, so I can try replacing it? There's no writing on it that I can see.
