Try cleaning the TV IR port.

I agreed to look at this set for a friend and my online search for similar
symptoms hasn't turned up anything. I haven't opened it yet - thought I
would see if the solution were widely known.

The problem appears that the set will not respond to the remote control.
She had two remotes that used to control it, and neither one seems to have
any effect. This tv model is only controllable with the remote (totally
stupid idea) so I don't know if the set will operate any other way. I can
turn it on with the set power button, but can't change the channel or
anything with the remote.

I'm not sure how to really check the remote itself as I don't have another
identical tv to try it on. Viewing the remote with a video camera shows
that the led is putting out, so at least that's a good sign. The main one
is a universal and I tried resetting the proper code and also scanning -
both to no avail.

Anyone already go through this?
