IR Sensor for TV Required...

    Hi All,

    I have a Panasonic LCD TV. A while a ago the remote stopped working - changed batteries etc. So I bought a universal remote - no joy, however the universal remote does work with another TV in the house.
    So I came to the conclusion that it must be the IR sensor in my TV that is the problem. I have searched the interweb for one but cannot find any.
    Does anyone where I could pick up an IR sensor please?

    Thanks,
    NOWE

    Your best bet would be to get it repaired by someone qualified.

    Check that the plastic window over the IR receiver is clean. Just because the universal remote operates another TV, doesn't mean you have it set correctly to operate the Panasonic. Might be worth taking your original Panasonic remote to a shop and seeing if it will work sets on display.

    To check the remote control, point it towards your camera. If you can see the IR bulb lighting, then it's probably ok.
