Got a new remote and batteries still nothing remote has #ga667wjsa on it
Ok I just dealt with the Sharp customer support for this problem. 1) You need to unplug the TV for 1 full minute and remove the batteries from your remote aswell (this will reset the system)
2) Hold the power button on the remote for 30 seconds with the batteries still out of the remote and the TV still unplugged
3) After the 30 seconds replace batteries then press every button on the remote beginning with the power button in order from left to right and top to bottom (same way you read)
4) Then plug your tv back in and try the remote again.... and the remote and TV should be back in sync.
... let me tell you I thought the lady was crazy when she was telling me this but it worked!
omg <3!!!! i finally have a remote!! i'm soooo happy!
Saved me from buying a new TV!!! Too bad Sharp doesn't share this information.
OMG, this wacky solution actually worked! Thank you so much!!! Only took a few mins and waa-laa!, my remote is back. Saved me having a repairman come out. Ah, the wonders of the internet.
tessa113 you're GREAT!!! Thank you so much for posting this!!! SMT
BTW, didn't have to fight with my family members, wonder what happened or deal with "customer service!" Thank you for an instant solution- just Googled it!
It worked! But I gotta think if you did step 1 and step 4, it would still work (but I'm too scared to temp fate!)
My kids thought it was a joke but you were right!
UBELIEVABLE!!!

Yes Sirs, I had same problem with the Sharp GA667WJSA and executed the entire reset process and it worked for me, process was as stated before:
1) You need to unplug the TV for 1 full minute and remove the batteries from your remote aswell (this will reset the system)
2) Hold the power button on the remote for 30 seconds with the batteries still out of the remote and the TV still unplugged
3) After the 30 seconds replace batteries then press every button on the remote beginning with the power button in order from left to right and top to bottom (same way you read)
4) Then plug your tv back in and try the remote again.... and the remote and TV should be back in sync.
Thank you, it was very helpful your help.

Actually, solution is even easier. Unplug the TV press anh hold power button on the set for 10 seconds, release the button, plug in the TV. Enjoy!
Worked great satavlad. Thanks!
This worked great....unbelievable.....saved me the hassle of figuring out another way to control the volume and on/off. THANK YOU>>>>>>
It worked! Thanks, Alex. Problem caused by power surge I bet after power restored, after Hurricane Sandy.
Unbelievable. Thought this was a farce. Was ready to throw out remote and order a new one until I happened on this site by chance.

This also worked for me. great solution. I had to do it twice, though because the first time I pressed literally all the buttons on the remote including volume, channel, enter and scroll buttons but this did not work for me.
what worked for me was to follow mdanyliw's instructions but skip the volume, channel, enter and scoll buttons.
I'm so happy to have my remote working again!!

I have the same problem. Nothing responding, except it was fine a coupel of days ago. Don't know what happened. Changed batteries, still no luck!
Same problem!
Same
I have the same problem. Remote worked for a couple days, now the remote doesn't work and no other remote will work on the TV.
i tried your solutions, but they didn't work.
tessa's solution worked for me too! thanks!
I have a Sharp LC37SB24U 37-Inch 720p LCD HDTV that uses this remote control (GA667WJSA) that had the same problem. The red light would not even blink when I press on. At first I thought it was batteries, but after replacing with new batteries > still no go.
Then I bought two universal controls (I admit they're not the expensive kind) and could not find the program codes after hours of playing with thsi.
Finally ran into this site and I applaud whoever came up with this brilliant solution. It works very, very well.
Thank you, Thank you, thank you!!! Saved me hours from finding the right universal control.
Unreal!
That ACTUALLY WORKED!
Wow, could not believe it.
Followed those instructions to a tee and presto.
I have a Sharp Aquos 32 - LC32D44U
Cheers!
It really works!!! I should have googles this sooner. Yay!!! I have my remote back!!!!!

My jaw is on the floor!! I've been without my bedroom TV for almost a month. We even tried buying a universal remote. This "broken" remote has been the root of a few arguments LOL I immediately texted my husband :) THANK YOU!!!!
Wow I just did this and it fixed my remote not working! Awesome, thank you so much, saved me trying to buy a new remote!
OK, all you really need to do is unplug the tv and maybe take out the batteries as well. The rest is somebody having a good laugh at all of us pressing the power button without batteries thinking that it does something lol
