My remote no longer works with my tv. I think its the ir sensor but I don't know what it looks like to replace it. I have another tv of the same model for parts and need to know what the ir sensor looks like so I can replace it. I know its not the remote because I've tried 4 diffrent universal remotes that work on other tvs in the house.

tried with reset doesn't work, ok it could be the IR sensor at the front panel of the tv doesn't work. but before you replace it you need to ensure if your remote controller is working. have you tried to check the remote with camera trick just to know if the remote controller is sending light to the IR sensor of the tv.

Possible bad IR receiver in TV or IR receiver is not located properly in TV.

Hi:
The IR receiver inside the television is becoming intermittent and needs to be replaced. You might also check the connections on the receiver small circuit board for cold or loose solder joints.

Return the tv universal remote where u bought it,get ur money back.If none of the tv univeral romote programming codes on the owner manual codes for ur tv make and model don't even work and don't have any responses for ur tv make and model functioning all.Try website like Remotes.com to buy the tv original remote or a very closed compatible clone one.

There's a quick test you can do to test the functionality of the remote to make sure it isn't the TV's IR sensor that's broken. To perform the test all you need is the remote and a digital camera (cell phone cam works too). Take the remote and look at the IR "eye" through the camera's screen. Don't actually take a picture simply use the camera as you would a magnifying glass. While looking at the IR eye press a few buttons on the remote. If the remote is working you should see light coming out of the remote. Our eyes cant see the IR light but the camera can. If the remote doesn't light up then the remote is at fault. You can replace your remote on many websites for somewhere in the 20 - 50 dollar range.

Here for example, you need to input your TV model number and it will tell you what remote you need with pictures. Then, once you are sure that is the remote you want, you can order right from the same website.


Hope that helps!

There is a quick test you can do to figure out if the IR transmitter on the remote is broken or if the TV's IR sensor is at fault. Using a digital camera (cell phone works too) set up a picture of your remote's IR transmitter. DO NOT TAKE A PICTURE. Simply look at the sensor through the camera's screen. Now while looking at the screen press a few buttons on the remote. If you (through the camera's screen) see a red light coming from the remote, then the remote is fine. As far as getting it repaired, you can look for a TV repair shop in your local yellow pages. Call a few and ask for a quote.

The sensor is located on the center CRT mount ( green CRT ) just remove the screen assembly and you will see the small circuit board on the Center CRT ( picture Tube) it looks like the pic below,

Let me know model number of your 60 inch LG tv to find out possible cause of no remote operation.
I do not think that IR receiver is bad in your tv. Regarding dusty IR receiver lens, you can confirm it by sending remote signal by very close distance to tv.
There are few other possibilities of no remote operation problem instead of bad IR receiver.

Make sure you have fresh new batteries and installed correct,point the remote at the tv,make sure nothing is blocking the view of the IR sensor,get close to tv,but not to close,press power.If it still dont work, try the tv itself,press power,you may need to replace the remote,or the IR sensor, hope this helps.....
