DVD player infrared remote sensor
Just tore into my children's DVD player to repair a stuck button. I now
have a problem with the remote not working. I thought it might be the remote transmitter, so I tried the trick of lookig at it through a camcorder, and it does light up. I've now decided that it's the remote control receiver in the player. The player is a very inexpensive Apex player, but I hate to throw it away if it's inexpensive to repair. I didn't see any obviously loose pins on the circuit board. Are these sensors somewhat generic? Something I can pick up at Radio Shack for a few $$$? Nowadays, the dvd players are just about useless without the remote. As a side note, I tried to program my Directv receiver remote, and it didn't work. Any thoughts? Michael H. |

Nowadays, the dvd players are just about useless without the remote. Most things are. As a side note, I tried to program my Directv receiver remote, and it didn't work. Have you tried a 'universal' remote? Sometimes you can pick one up for $4 or $5. N |

I have a few APEX DVD players with other problems that may have the same IR receiver. I'd be willing to send one for the price of shipping. -Mike |
