How to find Hitachi TV model without back label?

[geo86]

Hi,
I have purchased a faulty Hitachi TV from internet and I have now fixed it (backlight issue).

However, it came without a remote control. The back label is missing, I don't know the model so I don't know what remote control needs.

The seller has no clue or record of it.

What I know so far is this:
- it's a Hitachi
- 49-50 inches screen
- seems to be a smart TV (seller also said this)
- I have attached some pictures with the inside

Does anyone know how to find out what remote control I need for it please?

Thank you,
George

It needs a hitachi(vestel RC5117 RC5118 ) remote control. Tv model is 50HYT62UH





Or you can turn it on pressing the little joystick on the right of the scart connector.

Top man, thank you! Yet another TV saved from being disposed.

I have managed to turn it on from the little joystick but still needs a remote.

Just curious, do you know the difference between RC5117 and RC5118? I see on the auctions website that some sellers call it "NEW UPDATED RC5117 Remote Control" and wonder what makes the difference?

Cheers

Maybe just a marketing trick. They are pretty much the same. Only the netflix, youtube, smart buttons are changed slightly. Its better if you buy local and not on ebay There are some really great techs on UK. Cheers
