Hello

My Sony TV KP53V85 is not responding to the sony remote RM-Y905. I
tried the following to troubleshoot the problem without any luck.

1. Replaced batteries in the Remote
2. Powered the TV down for 1 hour
3. Reset the remote after removing batteries and depressing all buttons
twice
4. Got a new Sony remote & tried using that
5. Used the DVD remote that the TV used to respond in the past.

I feel that the problem is in the TV. Any ideas on how I can get this
problem fixed by my self or get it repaired.

Test the receiver, resolder reicever's solder and see with a scoop what
signal is going out. Also test if the reicever is powered ! If you don't
solve, change it, or try the uP !

I.

Any instructions on how I can locate & test the reciever. Are there any
websites thar provide such instructions?

Hum, if you open the set you can remove the principal board... and then
locate the reicever, it's a black or violet thing that's in the direction of
the front panel. If you can't locate it or if you can't open the tv, post
some photos or at least refer what's wrote on the data-plate on the rear !

No disrespect intended, but if you can't locate the IR receiver without
help you probably won't know what to do with it when you find it.

If you don't know what to do, I would not expect you to be able to
remove the main circuit board assy of your set, and troubleshoot the IR
receiver.

To test it, you will need a DVM, and a scope. The proper operating
voltages have to be verified, and also the data stream leaving it, that
is fed via a number of components to the uPC. It is possible for the IR
receiver, or anything along the path to be defective. It is also
possible that the uPC has failed.

Thanks for your feedback.

As I have ruled out troubleshooting the TV myself, what would be the
next best option?

1. Get the product repaired using a sony service center? In case the
reciever inside the TV has to be replaced - how would it cost? OR
2. Should I get Sony extended warranty - Any idea how much that would
cost? I purchased my TV in July 2001.

I am trying to make a case for repairing the TV vs using the money
towards the purchase of a new TV in the next 6 months.

Any suggestions will be greatly appareciated.

Really did you want to swap a tv that's 4 year's old and has only remote
problems ? If you can't fix it or can't get it repaired, use it without
remote ;-)

Any idea how much it would cost to have the IR reciever in the TV
replaced. I called sony service & they mentioned that it will cast $40
to look at the unit & then they will provide an estimate. Any ideas
from the team ??

Spend the $40.00 an get the estimate , maybe its not the IR Sensor.
The set is worth the $40.00 estimate to find out , dont you think ?

I would think you should call the Sony service rep, and get an
estimate. The problem may not be too expensive to repair. Even if it
costs a hundred dollars to service the set, it is still worth to fix
your set.

You'd best be sure that's what the problem is. What tests have you
done to determine this?

The sony service rep came by and concluded that the remote related
circuit inside the TV is bad & needs to be replaced. He mentioned that
the cost of replacing the circuit would be $500 + labor. I am not sure
that this is the right diagnosis of the problem as he did not even open
the TV to check the circuit, all he did was tried using a different
remote with the TV - which I had done in the past.

BTW he offered to buy the TV from me for $200 which I refused - what a
scam

At this point I have decided to leave the TV as-is & use it without the
remote. What do you folks think?
