Maybe you have the wrong code for tv. or remote is bad, check code first!

I just had this same issue. I tried to change the batteries for the factory remote that came with the Onkyo HT-S3500 (remote: RC-799M). Still no luck. It would not power on with the remote, despite the light flashing and the and all other remote function working. If I powered on the receiver manually, everything worked (except power on/off).
I just pushed a button on the remote labeled "REMOTE MODE RECEIVER" and viola, the remote now powers the device on and off and works just like usual. Not sure what the heck happened, but I would suggest pushing that button on your remote.

Hey sevenwindham,

If the remote won't work it may need to be programmed to the TV. You can personally look at the steps in the link below, just look up the model of your remote. The steps to program your remote are also provided

Addressing Remote to TV:

1.) Press and hold the clear TV button until all mode lights light up.
2.) Release and TV light will be blinking.
3.) Enter code and press #.
4.) Try functions (Volume, Power, etc..) and see if working.
5.) If no function, repeat steps 1-4 with another code.

If that doesn't work you can also try the Power Scan listed below.

Power Scan:

1.) With the TV on, press and hold the desired mode button (about six seconds) on top of the remote until all mode button backlights come on, then release.
2.) Press 0 then press STAR (*) and press and release the Power button.
3.) Press the Up button once a second while pointing the remote at the TV. If the code for the TV comes up, the TV will power off.
4.) Press the POUND (#) button. If the code entered is valid for the remote, the mode light flashes three times. To verify the code works try several different functions for that equipment.

If you have any other questions let me know!

To diagnose a remote control problem follow these steps.

1) unplug the TV power cord, count to five and plug it back in. (reboot)
2) try to power on with ORIGINAL MANUFACTURER remote.

if that works- your TV and original remote are fine.

if that does not work:
4) try to power on with buttons on the TV itself- if it works- check your remote batteries and try remote again.

Direct TV and Dish Network remotes will ONLY operate SIMPLE function of your TV such as power, volume, input.
They will NOT access your TV menu.

I hope that you got that tv and remote working. But if you haven't, I have some steps that can help you out. If your tv remote is not working, and you want to program your DISH remote to your tv, here are the steps:
Just follow the link I provided below, which will walk you through a power scan. The power scan scan your tv for the code that works with the remote. It sounds tedious, but it's very quick and simple! I hope that it helps!

You have to unplug the television after turning it off. Take the batteries out of the remote control. Point the remote toward the remote sensor (bottom right hand corner of the television set). Press the power button on the remote control and hold it down for 30 full seconds. Next press and release every button on the remote control. Next plug the tv back in and power it on from the power button on the television itself. Replace the batteries. Adjust the volume using the remote control. If that works the problem is solved. If it doesn't work you may need a software update, a new remote control, or repair to the sensor on your television.

To see if your remote control is working look at it through the viewscreen of a digital camera. The digital camera must be turned on and ready to take a picture. Next press a channel button on the remote control. Do you see a bluish white light? If so the remote control is ok.
