Question about Toshiba CT-90157 Remote Control

CT-90157 Won't work at all ???

I have tried several batteries in it, Didn't help. The volume/ channel change/ power, will not work at all. I have never used the Dvd or Vcr slide button on side, so not sure if they worked. Please help. I can't find my owners manuel either. I would really appreciate it if someone could help me. Not sure if it lost it's code or what.

I have a similar problem with my Toshiba plasma TV model: 42wp36p. The remote control sometimes works for some few minutes then the TV stops responding. I have also tried with one of those multi system remotes and I have been getting the same problem.

Actually with what I have gathered I think it could be the TV remote sensor, but not sure how that can just misbehave.

Please need more advice

Adding to the advice above. If you have tested your remote and it does not work then you may try to repair it according to my detailed instructions.

YOUR REMOTE IS A TRANSMITER WHICH TRANSMITS AN INFRA-RED BEAM WHICH CANNOT BE SEEN WITH THE NAKED EYE THEREFORE USE YOU CAMERA PHONE TO TEST IF IT IS TRANSMITING A BEAM POINT REMOTE TO CAMERA PHONE AND PRESS ANY BUTTON ON THE REMOTE. YOU SHOULD BE ABLE TO SEE THE INFRA-RED BEAM FLASHING ON THE SCREEN OF THE CAMERA PHONE. IF THERE IS A BEAM IT MEANS YOUR DEVICE THAT CAME WITH YOUR REMOTE IS FAULTY. IF THERE IS NO BEAM YOUR REMOTE IS DEFINETLY FAULTY. IF YOU FIND THAT YOUR REMOTE IS TRULY FAULTY USING THE PROCESS MENTIONED ABOVE THE POSSIBLE PARTS TO REPLACE WITHIN THE REMOTE WILL BE THE L.E.D, QUARTZ455MHZ PS PLEASE CHECK YOUR BATTERIES AGAIN.
