We got a slightly busted TV, everything works fine after we plugged components in the back that had detached from the motherboard. However, it had no remote with it and we have yet to get one to work. We have used a Sony remote that came with our receiver, and a Philips Universal. Neither did anything. Is the Infared broken, or do we need a specific remote?
RMY168 is the remote that should be used with that set Sony Part Number 141838711 should cost about $26. It is unlikely that the remote receiver is bad unless the set was dropped or mishandled, in which case the thin, cheap printed circuit boards Sony has been using lately could be cracked, keeping the remote receiver from working. In that case you'd better have a tech look into it.

In this case the remote is detected by the TV processor but it fails to act as there are issues in the driver or the processing section..It is possible that most of these indicate that there are errors in the processing section . Since there is a possible short or leak in the circuit the output driver section can take in huge current to trip the SMPS or from advice from the micro processor. Remove the power plugs and make sure that high voltage sections are discharged of the potential stored in capacitors. Look for visible signs of leak or of busted capacitors. Look for bulged capacitors or damaged components- burnt or busted. Use a multimeter to check the continuity or shorting in components, if so detach from circuit and test . If the voltage builds up and the set power ON and then shuts up then the suspected section must be checked in detail.
The processor must have the +5 voltage to the function properly , the +B and secondary voltages also must be checked to infer the fault. Trace with caution and in running through the signal path , circuit trail.
In most cases the standby light might blink with different rapidity to indicate a fault relevant to the processor.
