Yes. If the remote control works properly, you can. Be sure the infrared receiver at the front panel not disconnected.

SOURCE: tv won't operate off remote control

Unless you had the remote tested by Samsung, the test isn't comprehensive; it will only tell if the remote is putting out infra-red of some kind, that type of tester cannot determine if the codes are correct or complete. The only true test would be one in which you had a second TV or a second, known working remote. Even using an oscilloscope with an infra-red detector wouldn't help unless one had the specific code sequences available, it would only appear as a pulse train.

SOURCE: protron flatscreen tv remote and tv controls not

The control chip is dead. Since the chip is on the mainboard it also must be completely replaced.
The problem is not in the price - the board and the replacement labor by a repairman will cost you less than $300 - it will be in finding the board in the first place: Protron is a no-name manufacturer that makes its tv's from separate parts that it buys from other manufacturers at the cheapest price possible, they only assemble them also the cheapest way possible; as such you can't get parts from them , they don't have any - especially if the tv is out of production for more than a year(all the warranties have expired and they no longer have to fix them). Because of that all you can do is to try to find a second hand board online or at a repair shop. Before calling a repairman make sure it can get the board at a reasonable price.

SOURCE: Yamaha RX-V1000 volume control erratic, remote

Hi.

The volume knob issue alone sounds like it's hardware-related and therefore not easily fixed. Also, since the remote appears to be working (the LED's are lighting up), but the unit is not controlled anymore, the IR sensor is probably faulty as well. I would seriously consider sending this AV receiver in for repair. If it's still within warranty, you shouldn't need to pay anything for the repair.

Manual for your receiver: http://www2.yamaha.co.jp/manual/pdf/av/english/re/RX-V1000.pdf

It's not much but I hope this helps.

I have a 43” flatscreen tv that turns on using volume buttons and turns off same buttons. Volume goes to zero by itself too. Sometimes change channel by itself. I’m sure it’s a control board problem but...

Hi Stephen, yes, it is almost certain that the problem is in the function or control board, usually there is a surface capacitor (SMD) that goes into loss and causes these failures
Another possibility, would be the remote control, which works erratically, remove the remote control or keep it in a closed place and check if the fault continues

Greetings Franco Dosil

Hola Stephen, si, es casi seguro que el problema esta en la placa de funciones o control, por lo general hay un capacitor de superficie (SMD) que entra en perdida y provoca estas fallas
Otra posibilidad, seria el control remoto, que funciona erratico, retira el control remoto o guardalo en un lugar cerrado y verifica si continua la falla

Samsung TV remote. I noticed today my TV remote wasn't working. I changed the batteries and noticed there had been some leakage from the AAA batteries. Since changing the batteries the 8 buttons on the top...

Giving you some hints. Battery leakage is one enemy of tv control and other remote control. They can corrode your battery spring contact, give contact bridges with neighboring tracks that can cause erratic behavior of your remote.

Some repairs can be done but doesn't guarantee success. First is try to clean the corrosion on battery contact = no power usually. Erratic behavior cause by contact bridging = battery leak residues.

Opening a remote control. Some have screws on its small foot. Covered by a rubber or sticker. Some are notch clip in strategic location you have to fry that one by one, opening first on its weakest side. In some don't want to be open.

Cleaning the board by a soft eraser is one way. After you open the remote. Commonly the button area where contact takes place.

If the first procedure and cleaning doesn't work. Buy new remote or use universal remote controller.

Code for HP Plasma Flatscreen

Hello, follow this link to download the manual and the codes for your remotes:
http://www.ofausa.com/remote.php?type=URC3605
just right click and save as on the download links.

if this does not work you can try the search method,
you do this by either holding down the device button eg: TV or if you have one the "magic" button for three seconds, a light should then flash twice to say you have done this correctly.
then press the keys 991 then the power button.
you must now press the channel up key (ch+) possibly upto 150 times while the remote cycles through every code.
Once your tv or device switches off stop pressing the ch+ key and press the power button to make sure it switches back on,
(if you press ch+ too many times you can go back by pressing ch-)
When complete press the magic or device key again to save the settings (light should flash twice to confirm)

Many thanks
Mark

Tv turns on manually, but auto flips through channels and you can't use remote

Found this in another forum (www.hometheaterspot.com) and it fixed my remote problem:

"...it's possible that one of the front panel buttons is "stuck" or shorted, and this could cause the TV to ignore commands from the front panel or remote. But this should also cause the Power command to be ignored, too. You might try pulling off the front panel and disconnecting the front panel buttons and then see if the remote works."
