Toshiba TV Remote Control not working




By sehose on Jun 27, 2006

" "
My remote controls to my Toshiba TV stopped working yesterday. I have three different remotes to the TV, Once in a while I may get it to actually change the channel ,or turn the volume up or down. But it will only do it ramdomly and then it wont do it again. Ive reprogrammed my remotes, and changed the batteries in them, So I dont think thats the problem. Any Suggestions would be appreciated.
Thank You.

Same Problem

-   I have a Toshiba 36" Cinema Series 7years old TV where the remote stopped working. Other remotes stopped working as well. No question that it is the TV. I always thought Toshiba was a reliable product. Has anyone heard that Toshiba would make some sort of arrangement to fix their product free or at a reduce cost since many people appear to be having the same problem.-   Guest

-   My Remote Was working Intermitantly, then stopped all together. Ive also changed batteries. The Remote for my dish network which was programmed to operate the unit quit as well, so I believe its the TV and not the remotes. Can this be repaired? My TV is 3 yrs old.-   smsjjr

-   It is not with the remote, it is in the TV. I read on 1 forum that the eye can have a bad solder connection, but I haven't checked into it. -   Guest

I unplugged my wt-42315, counted to 60, plugged it back in, and voila, the TV responded to all my remote controls again.

I have been seeing a lot of Toshiba remote "eyes" (the infra-red receiver inside the TV) fail recently. If several known good remotes cannot control the TV then the IR receiver will have to be replaced. If you have no experience soldering and unsoldering PC boards then have a qualified tech handle it for you.

Have you tried cleaning the contact pad? Just open the remote, and you will find the contact pad. it is like a rubber sheet with contact terminals matching the locations of the various buttons.Just take a clean cloth and clean the contact points.
Re-assemble the remote, put in new batteries, and reprogram the remote. it should work.

I have the exact same problem. Remote would work intermittenly and now has quick all together. I am unable to get the TV to work off of any universal remote. We aren't crazy, the eye has gone bad. I am calling a repair man. I'll let you know how much it costs :)

I have the same problem. My remote stopped working. I tried battery replacement, recoding and even several other remotes including the original factory remote with no luck. Does anyone know of an easy (cheap) fix?

Comment by Guest, posted on Apr 12, 2008

Changed batteries, cleaned contacts, and finally got a new remote controller. The remote will not work to change the volume, nor will it control the power on/off switch.

Comment by jennifer49, posted on Apr 08, 2008

All remotes (TIVO, TV) do not work on ON/OFF , VOLUME and MUTE. They do work for channel changing.

I have changed all batteries, checked all leads. Given that 8 other owners of this TV have reported this problem, I think the problem is in the TV.

Has anyone contacted Toshiba?

The problem with my wt-42315 is not the contacts on the remote control. My TV stopped responding to my DirecTV remote control as well as the factory TV remote control. Does anyone know where the Infra Red receiver is located?

My remote just stopped working. One day i was using it and it went out. All the functions on the remote was going in and out. One minute it work then the next minute it would not work. Then eventually the remote would not work for this tv. However, I have other Toshiba tv's and the remote work fine on thoses tv's. It's just this tv. Can somebody please help out? This is really frustrating.

Comment by unsprung, posted on Nov 28, 2007

All remote controls functions stop working. An other remote programed will also not control the tv. Appears to be the receiving side. Power off and then on did work the only time I have tried it. It will return after awhile.

Comment by cleo1825, posted on Nov 18, 2007

The remote to our 36HF12 will not work with the TV. The first thing that happened is the volume was not able to be controlled by the remote and now the remote won't work on the TV at all. I know the remote is working because I can turn the VCR on and off with it. Any help?
