I have two remote controls one rca for my Proscan (RCA) 27" tv, and one for
my Panasonic DVD player/recorder. My DVD player is able to control the
basics of my TV operation too, even will turn on the power to the TV (no
programming required). But now all of a sudden they both stop working.
My DVD remote still works fine for the DVD controls, but not for the TV
any
more. Batteries is not the problem. Any ideas what it could be? The
TV
is almost 10 years old.


Is the tiny plastic lens over the IR sensor of the tv fogged over from
cleaners? Or if you can take the back off, find where the IR sensor
connects to the chassis, and remove it and re-connect it - The plug may have
absorbed moisture and caused a little corrosion. JTT
