Where is the ir on the jvc LT-47x899 - JVC LT-47X899 47 in. LCD TV

You have identified a problem with the IR sensor on your JVC LT-58MAW595 television. The IR sensor is responsible for receiving signals from the remote control, so if it is damaged or not functioning correctly, the tv may not respond to remote commands.
If the IR sensor is caved in and has scraped the gold ribbon cable that is in line with the sensor box, the ribbon cable has also likely been damaged. The ribbon cable is a thin, flexible circuit board that connects the IR sensor to the main circuit board of the television.
In this case, you may need to replace the ribbon cable to repair the IR sensor. The ribbon cable is a small part, and it is not a common one; it is part of the main circuit board of the television.
It is not recommended to try to repair the ribbon cable; it is best to replace it with a new one.
The part you are looking for might be hard to find, and it might be best to contact JVC or a professional technician to determine the availability of the ribbon cable and the replacement cost.
Keep in mind that working with the main circuit board of the television requires technical knowledge and skill; it's best to have a professional technician perform the repair.

If you point a mobile phone camera toward the output of the remote, you will see if it works or not.
Hope that helps.

G'Day!


I have over 10 years experience in electronic tech support.

If you're sure about your connections, the problem you've described can't be fixed with troubleshooting. Your TV will have to be repaired. There is a part that has developed a defect and needs to be replaced. If you're still in warranty, the TV will be repaired at no charge to you. The warranty would likely be at least one year from the date of purchase from the manufacturer. If you purchased an extended service plan they will repair the TV at no charge as well.

If the TV is no longer in warranty, it will likely cost a minimum of $150 parts and labor. This is assuming that you only need one circuit board or small part. If the problem is more than one of the circuit boards, the price of repair could go much higher.

I hope I've provided you useful assistance and that this information allows you to make an informed decision as to how to proceed from here. Please be sure to vote on my response. I hope I've earned a good rating from you today.

Please post a comment if you need further assistance so that I can help you further.

Try this

1. Get camera phone
2. set camera phone to to take picture
3. point remote at camera and look at the camera display
4. press buttons on the remote, you should a light from the Remotes IR.
5a. If NO light is seen, your remote is broken. you can try replacing the batteries to double check
5b. if Yes, light is seen. Your remote is working and you may have a problem with the TV.

As a double check, get a remote you know is working and try the same thing to verify that you are checking the remotes correctly.

The IR sensor in the tv is probably weak, you could make a mountain out of a mole hill and get it replaced (using your friends receipt ^_^) but there's nothing to be done about the sensor.
