How confident are you of the repair shop's diagnosis and attempt to find
the sensor part (if it is indeed that which is faulty)?

i assume these remote sensors use a
photodiode, so I might take it apart to have a look, and get one from
Maplin or some other component supplier. Anybody got any advice on
this?

Often it's a small module, comprising the photodiode and amplifier /
signal conditioning circuitry.

What's the model number of the TV?
