The factory remote quit communicating with television, it works the other devices. Maybe code was lost? How often does the receiving eye on television fail?
The IR reciever failure rate on LG tv's is fairly high.
A few things to try first.
Let me know your findings and we can go from there.

Yes you can replace the IR sensor but first you should make sure the tv will not work with a universal remote.
If you can't get it to work with a universal then we will need to narrow it down to the sensor, it could be a voltage problem from the power supply.
It's a process of elimination, if you skip a step you could end up buying parts you don't need.
BTW, a Thanks For Trying rating is negative, it hurts my rating here.
The ratings are confusing but you can change it.
Let me know about the universal remote and we can go to the next step.

Sorry I just caught the part about the universal not working.
I will download the servixe manual and we can start checking voltages.
You will need to buy a cheap multimeter and take the back cover off of the tv.
Thanks for the rating change.
If you are up to the challenge I can pull you into a  chat where we can start checking voltages and make sure it is the IR sensor and not the power supply.
Or if you just want to swap out the sensor you can buy it for $10 plus S&H and that will probably fix it.
Here is a link to the part.

Did all suggestions. No luck.
The universal remote doesn't make contact.
Can I replace the IR on television or do I need to take it in?
How do I change rating?
Thanks.
I think I will buy the part and install it.
Thanks again.
I have the same problem, but the model is the 42LC7D. How hard is it to replace the IR sensor?
Exactly same symptom here too.
By the way what's the part number?
Where can I find the right part?
The link below seems not working anymore.
Thanks.
