broken Toshiba remote control?
I have a television model number CZ27T31. Yesterday I tried to turn on the
television using the remote control but it would not turn on. By pressing the button on the television it turned on and off. With the same remote control I am able to turn on and off the Toshiba VCR. I tried to use another Toshiba remote control used for another VCR and it did not work. I pulled out the batteries from the remote and disconnected the television from the electrical outlet. Later on that day I was able to use the remote to turn on the television but today I am not able to. I would appreciate information to fixed the problem? Thank you, Tony |

Thank you, Tony Somethings you might think about--------Look at the infrared diode on the remote, is it dirty? Look at the infrared detector on the TV, is it dirty? Will the remote work at night, maybe there is a source of infrared that is overpowering the detector on the TV, maybe sunlight falling on the TV. The other Toshiba remote may not have been programmed for your TV. Batteries? These are simple things that I would try first before digging into circuitry. Bill |

As the other post mentioned, change the batteries because it's possible the TV
and VCR do not have equal sensitivity to the remote. If this doesn't help then..... TV sets can get very dusty inside due to the high voltage attracting the dust and the heat that causes air to constantly flow through the cabinet. It's possible that the Infra-Red detector is blocked by dust and dirt build up inside of the cabinet and it can't a strong enough signal from the remote. VCR's are much less prone to this kind of problem. Have a professional clean the thing out and/or diagnose the problem. David H have a television model number CZ27T31.
