I have a Fisher Mini component system (1991) mod CA-M44. The remote
stopped working, I have tested the remote and there is output but no
response on the unit, is there any suggestions or does anyone no where
I could get a schematic on this system.
Suggestions would be great the remote hasn't worked in years (since
almost before the internet) The actual unit still works great, it just
does not respond to the remote.

Thanks in advance

Fisher was manufactured by Sanyo. Parts and service manuals, if still
available for your unit should be able to be ordered from Sanyo parts
distributors.

The hand held remotes for most of the consumer electronics equipment is
considered a non serviceable unit. They normally do not sell the parts to
service it. I suspect this is also true for your type of unit.

The OP might try herman electronics for parts and that remote, I've
had luck in the past with them.

Also there are lots of aftermarket suppliers on the web for oem
remotes.
just google remotes.

There is a possibility of bad solder connections at the main unit's remote
receiver.

How did you check out the remote? I usually use a video camera myself.
When you look at the remote you will see the LED flash when you press the
remote's buttons. A friend of mine once had a similar problem. He just
metered at the output of the remote and since he was getting an indication
there he said it was working. When I used my video camera and couldn't see
any flash I changed the LED. That fixed it right up.
You can get the schematic from Fisher/Sanyo. I have a Fisher CA-271
system. When I first bought it I called up the company and ordered the
schematics right from them. That was quite some time ago though so I'm not
sure what they might charge for schematics now. For starters I would just
scope the remote receiver circuit to ensure it isn't just a flakey solder
joint inside the main unit as another poster mentioned.

Cheers,
