    Tv not working with remote control.

    Hi guys got a Sharp lc50cfe5101k which has a strange issue. Remote controls both original and universal do not work with the tv. Both remotes are sending the IR signal but tv is not picking up the signal. I assumed the mainboard so swapped that out with no luck and then purchased a brand new IR reciever and still not working. Anyone had a similar issue or can shed any solutions to this issue.

    Thanks in advance.

    You might need to pair it with your tv. Press the green and yellow button in the same time.

      its one of this reasons RC will not response
      1- you have one of button at 7 button boards keep pressed down. play with them while the set off so you can hear click when you press them

      2- Remote.cfg file disrupted at firmware , from service menu make hard reset to roll back all driver and files

      3- downgrade or upgrade the firmware.

      4- in general all RC how to reset them... take batteries out from RC, press power button on RC and keep press for at least 10 seconds. place batteries back and start using it.

        It is likely the original remote needs to be paired to the tv: (Page 11)

        During first time installation press and hold the GREEN and YELLOW buttons on the remote control for a few seconds. The power light will blink 5 times to confirm the TV and remote control are paired.

          Hi guys, thanks for the input. I cant get into service menu, also cant seem to find downloadable firmware for this model even on the Sharp website. I am going to order another remote control and will give you an uodate when it arrives thanks.

            You don't need to enter the service menu to pair the remote control.

              I have ordered a new remote. The remote i have here looks the same but is very slightly different. Are the remotes for this tv BT or IR as there is no IR reciever on the board that takes the signal for remote control?

                Did you try paring the original remote you have?

                  Pry open the original remote and check if there is an IR sensor. If it has no IR sensor( it must have a little pcb soldered into the main one), then its RF remote control.

                        Re: Tv not working with remote control.

                        Ok so the issue i had was the mainboard and of course not having the original remote control. I tried replacement remote with original mainboard and it was failing to pair with tv. Put replacement main in and paired no issue. Tv now fully operational.

                        When you go into first time install it tells you to power off tv to standby and press green / yellow buttons and power light blinks a few times then remote is paired.

                          you may need to use USB air mouse or air keyboard or USB cable keyboard to inter code or menu in set with your old MB

                              Old Privileg 5.1 speakers remote control question
                              by piipo
                              Hi, I have an old Privileg brand 5.1 speakers. I have lost the remote control. I have an universal Harmony remote but there is no Privileg brand in it's software to add. Does anybody have an idea what alternative brand for a remote can I try instead? I'm attaching an image of what the speakers looks like. The image shows 2 main speakers, they are 5 + 1 in total. Thank you very much

                              Samsung SyncMaster 740n Phase Control Issue
                              by vincentedel
                              Hello,
                              I'm having an issue with the Samsung 740n's phase control setting. When I use the automatic adjustment, it sets the value to around 54 (with a range of 0-100), and the picture looks clear and sharp. However, after some timeβ€”like after playing a gameβ€”the text starts to look blurry. When I auto-adjust again, it may increase the value to 80, and everything becomes sharp once more. Yet, after a while, whether it's a few hours or a day later, the same blurriness returns, and I have to adjust it again.

                              I'm using the Samsung 740n monitor drivers instead of the default plug-and-play...

                              Vizio TV M50-C1 reboot cycle and static on screen
                              by spice_disc
                              I'm currently trying to diagnose and fix my Vizio TV (Model M50-C1). I've tried a number of different basic solutions, but I'm trying to determine if my issue is currently a failing panel, T-Con board, or main board (or something else entirely) and whether or not it is worth my time to fix it. Details of the issue and what I've tried are below as well as why I think it is either a bad panel, T-Con board, or main board.

                              The Issue: The TV will be on and working fine but after the TV is on for ~5-10 minutes the screen will freeze (with sound continuing) until the TV reboots itself. While...

                              Hi, so I bought a YLOD Fat PS3 as I wanted a repair project and thought it would be a good way to get experience. I was able to solder to the RX, TX and Diag pads on the COK-002 motherboard and was able to get external access and retrieved the codes. I haven't powered it on beforehand so these should be the last ones. I did try to get internal access immediately after but kept getting scopen response...

                              CRT Panasonic TV model TX-25T2L Service Mode (?)
                              by LittleMega
                              Hi guys,

                              I have opened the same Thread on AV Forum and they suggested asking here as I didn't sort the following issue:
                              I am trying to enter in the Service Mode of a CRT Panasonic Colour TV model TX-25T2L, serial no. LE-331011 (Alpha 2 Chassis) manufactured in UK.

                              I tried the most common procedures for CRT Panasonic which match with the operations available on the remote control:
                              set the Bass to maximum position,
                              set the Treble to minimum position,
                              press Vol – on the customer controls at the front of the TV, and at the same time press
                              ...
