I am having problems programming the Toshiba
Set-up (Programming) procedure is too much to type in here, and is not practical and it will differ brand-to-brand remote controls. If you wish to get more; check the sites linked here. The site has set-up code list & set-up procedure to many popular brand remote controls. The site has general set-up codes to check with TVs and other devices are given, in the order of the 'device's brand name list' in alphabetical order. Set-up code list to many brand remote controls also is given. Pull up older posts. Search the sites by type in the brand name to your device in its search box at the top right part of the display window. It will help you to find the document easily.

Programming Notes
• If your device does not respond to the remote after trying all codes listed or your brand is not listed in the code list, use the Auto Code Search method to program your remote.
•
Sometimes the first code that "works" with your device may operate only a few functions of your device. There may be another code in the code list that performs more functions. Try other codes from the code list for more functionality.
This is a trial and error procedure; and quiet time consuming. You might have to check different codes said for your device.
Search the site by type in the "brand name" to your device; to which you want set-up codes; in the "Search box at the top right of the display window" to get gathered related posts.
Universal remote codes
NOT A SOLUTION, however my remote stopped working a couple months ago. I subsequently tried several universal remotes - none of these worked. An educated guess might be that the problem is NOT with the remote control unit, but rather something inside the set itself. This might also explain why the MW24FM1 you bought "didn't come with a remote".

Remote contrl doesn't work for
Hi,
Common faults are: some buttons not working, not working at all, corroded battery terminals. Often buttons are sticky because of some dirt accumulated over the years from the sticky little hands of your kids?
The hardest part of repair is often to open the covers. You do not need much experience in electronics repair to repair a remote. Also it is perfectly safe as there is no way to get an electric shock as they work with batteries.
step 1Test your remote with Digital Camera
Check your batteries first or buy new batteries. Once you have good batteries, you can test with a digital camera by pushing the buttons and having camera on and pointing to the infrared led. You should see red light if the remote is working. If no light comes up you obviously have a dead remote but do not despair and proceed to the next step
step 2Open the remote control but there is a catch or a few catches.
Remove the screws if any. Sometimes screws may be hidden under a sticker or rubber feet. Often there are no screws at all but just plastic catches hidden so you have to be clever to open it without breaking the case. Use something blunt and flat to click the covers open. This is often a challenge but should not be too difficult.
step 3Take a picture of every phase so you remember how to re-assemble
Since you are using a digital camera you might as well take pictures of the disassemble so re-assembly will be easier.
step 4Pull everything apart
Did you take a picture of the key pad layout? Sometimes keypad is just one rubber membrane but sometimes the keys fall away like pieces of a Lego puzzle. And if the buttons are marked with numbers and functions you may struggle to re-assemble them in right order? Use a small plastic takeaway box or similar to store the bits so you don't lose parts.
step 5Inspect the circuit board and repair dry joints
Remotes are often dropped on the floor and may develop dry joints on the battery contacts or circuit board. Inspect the contacts and circuit board under good light with a magnifying lens or if lucky you might have a microscope or just a very good eyesight? Solder all suspicious joints. If there is a sign of water damage you can use methylated spirits and toothbrush to...
step 6Wash the covers and the buttons
Use a small bowl or similar to wash and contain all the parts so you don't lose bits down the drain. Use old toothbrush to clean all button holes and buttons. Warm water with dish wash liquid does the job. Take particular care with those small buttons and clean them properly. If you can leave the bits to soak overnight they come clean easy. Ultrasonic cleaner would be goo...
step 7Rinse, drain and dry the parts
Rinse with warm water. Use a drainer to contain all the parts without losing small bits down the drain. As extra security use sink plug. Dry with a paper towel. Wipe the buttons dry individually as they may still have some dirt which makes them sticky when in use.
step 8Repair case and re-assemble
If there is damage to the case or buttons you need to do the required repairs. Use hot glue or super glue depending on fault. Let dry overnight if you had to glue something. Re-assemble bits in reverse order and make sure you have the buttons in right place and right way around. Small nicks and dents on plastic cover can often be repaired by heating carefully with a h...
step 9Test with Digital Camera
Test every button as before. Sometimes you have to push two remote buttons simultaneously as with recording buttons Once you have completed test with your camera you can use the remote.
Hope this will in solving the problem....

Why do you want to get to the lens? Do you think it`s dirty, if so, try buying a laser lens cleaner, It will be a lot simpler and safer than stripping the set down.
In answer to your original question, Yes, You do have to strip the set and then you`ve got to strip the DVD player because it is buried inside a metal can. Then you`ve got to clean the lens, put it all back together, Praying that the fault has been cured. Please buy a cleaner first, I used to repair these kinds of sets and they are a nightmare, and I`ve been down this road before and it really is an awkward job especially when you put it all back together and then find that the CD door isn`t properly located or a lead isn`t connecting properly or a lead broke as you removed it. I`ve been there, I`ve got the T shirt. Ian
Remote signal not detected.
Yes, more-so than in a conventional crt based unit without all the extras... You'll need to disconnect many more wires and attachments to get the main board removed then it's about the same job to de-solder the detector and solder a new one in... If you need, take pictures from several different positions in case you stumble getting it back together and can't figure out were a set of wires go to or something. I would order the Ir sensor before you start the job, p/n# 72796410 maybe from Vance Baldwin...

Broken disc left in DVD player
Depending on how involved you want to get. The cover needs to come off to access the disc. Not all that complicated just remove screws and remove cover and your good. Just remember what screws came out of what holes, some might be longer or shorter.
TV not detecting remote control signal
It's simply a defective IR sensor Toshiba P/N 72796410 and if you know how to remove the main board and have a soldering unit that is a bit more delicate than than the monsters they sell at rat shack, some solder and desoldering braid you just might be able to do it yourself...

Try this:

Set the DVD Mode.
Press and hold the 'STOP' key on the front panel.
Simultaneously press and hold the '7' key on the remote control unit.
Hold both keys for more than 3 seconds.
The On Screen Display message 'PASSWORD CLEAR' will appear.
The 4 digit password has now been cleared.
