I have the same problem as someone else on here. I bought my TV in 2007 the day after I recieved the TV it stopped responding to the remote control, I was going to ring the company I bought it off the next day but suddenly the remote started working fine again. 2 Years on without problem and my tv decided to stop responding to the remote last night. I have done many things recommended online to test the remote, new batteries, resetting, checking Infrared via camera ect ect. Nothing seemed to work. I turned my TV from the mains and left it only to wake up today and find the remote is working again..... However a few hours later the Remote has stopped working, this is very eratic. I don't know if it's a remote problem or a problem with the TV, The bottons on the TV itself work fine.
There is a easier way to check your remote.
Open your radio on AM frequencies, you don't need to be tuned just noise is perfect, then bring your remote near the antenna and press some button. You will ear the frequency in your radio. If it works this way but not on the TV make sure to press the TV button before using it (if the remote is universal).

Hi. I did the Camera test which was holding the remote control towards my camera phone and pressing the buttons to which I could see the Infra Red lights Flashing. I tried the radio test and didn't hear anything altho I don't think it was on AM Frequencies so I will have to try that out again. The remote is the Samsung BN59-00516A that came with the TV, Pressing the TV Button doesnt seem to work, whenever I try pressing any other button the TV button will just keep flashing Orange.....
