Check on the back of the TV to see if you have a "remote in" port. It will look the same as a 3.5mm headphone jack. Unplug the TV and plug a pair of headphone into the port and then remove it. Do this several times to breakup any debris that may have gotten into it or corrosion that may have occurred in the port. If something is in the port it will disable the standard remote sensor on the TV.

The receiver or something right around it---think you will find they only sell the whole board the receiver is on.

    The jack usually is for a wired remote or similar--if remote works on another set--remote receiver is the problem IN THE SET OR SOMETHING near it--buttons on all sets have priority over the remote functions--remote receiver issue first here.

SOURCE: LG 42LC2D not responded to remote

The IR sensor is in fact a "plug in device" .
The TV will have to be disassembled to replace the sensor.

You should make sure the remote is functioning before you do anything as drastic as taking your tv apart.

I am sure you have tried fresh batteries so the next step would be to hold down any button on the remote, the led light should have a faint pulse, it may be hard to see and you may have to go in a dark room but the led will pulse if the remote is good.

If you have a universal remote, program it for your tv and test functionality.

An RCA universal remote will work with your tv, if the codes don't work do a search with the remote.

If you decide to replace the sensor you should be able to find one at http://www.shopjimmy.com or http://partstore.com.

Let me know if I can be of further assistance.

Please rate this solution, the only compensation I receive is a good rating from you.

Must be the IR receiver usually is soldered on a circuit board. Time to call your warranty..

SOURCE: LG TV 32LB9D VOLUME STUCK AT 100, NO RESPONSE TO REMOTES

The fault may be on the control board. Sometimes the button switches can be stuck, or there may be something causing some conduction on the control circuit board. It is also possible to have a component failure that is causing a continuous command to keep the volume to the high position.

Something that causes failures of controls in TV sets is when people clean the screen, they spray liquid cleaner on the screen. Some of it drips down in to the controls and on to the circuit board. This will usually cause damage, and thus the set will require shop service.

Samsung lcd tv can't find a source, buttons on remote control don't respond, nor buttons on the control panel on the right side of the TV device

consult the owner manual or call Samsung---this set likely has a lockout feature that locks both the remote and the keyboard out.

You might also want to research this by taking the model number and Google key words "remote lockout" etc.

Lg 37lg30 stuck in a loop, it flips between AV2 and DTV1 every 2 seconds. Batteries in remote are fine. Briefly see normal picture when pressing remote buttons before the AV2/DTV1 loop continues. Managed...

Maybe there are buttons on the remote or tv set that are stuck, check these. If no luck then hide the remote so it can't communicate with the set, if it still is acting up unplugg the set for 30 min or more and plug it back in. This may clear a fault that is stuck. If it still is not working correct then the tuner is going bad. Check all devices that are plugged in to the set and unplug them from the tv so the tv does not recognize there is a device connected this may also help.

37lg30 will not turn on w/ factory remote or any other remote programmed to TV. Already tried the obvious solutions - batteries, unplug to reset, etc. Once you turn on the TV manully non of the functions...

I'd check out the IR board on your tv. If you have electronics experience open up th etv find the IR board - trace it back to the AV board make sure all connections are plugged in good then if that doesnt work I'd replace the IR board first. That would be the cheapest part to replace. Also it could be the IR on the remote - but if the codes you used to program the programmable remote are known good for your model i'd look at the tv first.

thanks,

If it is less than a year old than it is still under Warranty from LG. Their Customer Service Number is 1800-243-000. It sounds like to me it needs a Main Board to be replaced. Let LG help you get in touch with a Factory Service Facility to get you back up running again.
