    RCA RLED4250A IR Remote Not Working

    This TV initially wouldn't turn on and found out the side button board was misaligned and the IR isn't working as well. TV turns on now with the side buttons but no response to the remote. I probed the IR receiver module and it is getting 5V and the output dips when it receives IR signals. No oscilloscope to confirm for sure. I was able to get an old Citizen TV to respond by doing a reset in the service menu.

    Can't get into the service menu of this TV. Tried several online suggestions including holding down menu button and pressing power and volume +. On another RCA I currently have with the same menus I can get into the service menu using remote code 1-1-4-7. Don't have the original remote but assuming a LG remote should work with this TV since it works with the other RCA.

          I don't have the original remote but the menu system is the same as another RCA I have which works with the LG remote. I do have some universal remotes coming in next week I can try with it as well.

                  If you can get in the service menu with 1147(common for chinese chassis) then a lg remote wont work

                      I tried all the RCA tv codes with my xfinity dvr remote and none worked Not willing to pay for an original remote if the tv needs a factory reset.

                          Got a universal TV139F remote and using search all model feature, got most of the remote functions to work. Just OK key doesn't map so bit painful to switch inputs.

                              by tmhobadcap
                              I have this receiver for at least 10 years. Usually, we just use the remote for turning on/off and adjusting the volume. Recently, the remote control started not able to turn the receiver on. Later, the volume also could not be adjusted by the remote control.

                              At first, I thought that it was the usual problem which can be fixed by cleaning the contacts on the switches and the pcb. I opened the remote and clean it with alcohol. The remote did work again after that. But after one day, it did not work again. I opened it again and clean with alcohol and contact cleaner. Again it worked...

                              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...

                              by letmealone
                              I had this tv set, stuck at the 'SMARTTV' screen with coloured logo. Impossible to find the original Smart Tech firmware, so i searched in kazmielec.tech some firmware compatible with the tv-set hardware (CV338H-T42 card and Y400HJ6.PE1 screen). The firmware i tried was wrong and it bricked the TV, just showing a black screen and not entering stand by anymore. I supposed it needed special hardware to reflash the NAND, but i was wrong, it just needed a working compatible firmware. Still in the kazmielek page i tried ' CV338H-T42_1920x1080_Telefunken TF-LED43S81T2' and it finally worked. I wrote...

                              Samsung LN32C350 Remote not Working
                              by dorfman
                              Im working on a 10 year old 32" Samsung LCD that the remote suddenly stopped working. No response from the tv and no blinking standby led. Its not the remote. I tested it on another Samsung TV and its fine. The IR sensor is on a separate board with the capacitive touch buttons. The buttons worked so I figured the main board was good and it had to be the IR receiver. I tried swapping the IR / touch board with another one. Still no response.

                              I'd like to try a main board diagnosis/repair because it would be a shame to trash the TV just cause of the remote. The panel still looks...
