I have an RCA tv model # f27159wn, we had a universal remote to turn it on because the power button is missing. Our son lost the remote, when we found the remote it doesnt turn the tv on now. How do I reprogram that remote w/o turning the TV on? We got the remote with the tv already programmed from someone else, they don't remember the code they used.

The 4-digit code to program a universal remote to work with a RCA LED32B30RQ TV model is likely to be one of the following:
11447 11758 11442
To program the universal remote to work with the RCA LED32B30RQ TV:

1. Turn on the TV
2. Press and hold the "Setup" button on the universal remote until the "TV" button blinks twice.
3. Press the "TV" button on the remote.
4. Enter the 4-digit code for your TV using the number buttons on the remote.
5. Press the "Power" button on the remote. The TV should turn off.
6. Press the "Setup" button again to lock in the code.

If the TV does not turn off after entering the code, please try the other codes listed above. If none of the codes work, you may need to refer to the universal remote manual or contact the manufacturer for further assistance.
Note: The method to program the universal remote may vary depending on the remote brand and model

First understand that you need a little patience with this remote, it's a little slow, it may take a few seconds in between pushing buttons for it to react to your TV.

1)
-Turn on TV manually first.

we're going to try and get the remote paired to your particular tv

2)
-Facing RCA universal remote towards TV, press and hold both the POWER and TV buttons on the remote at the same time.. until the RCA universal remote POWER button lights up and is constantly on.

-Then press the PLAY button on RCA universal remote

(POWER button on remote should be blinking after pressing PLAY -- what the remote is doing is trying to program your TV with a list of codes. if your TV does not automatically shut off after a minute, press the PLAY button again. your TV should shut off. wait a few seconds before trying to press PLAY button again if you need to try again.)

3)
Assuming remote turned off TV. Now let's try to get the remote to turn on your TV

On the remote at top right is a REVERSE button, press that. You should see the POWER button on the remote blink once in response to you doing that.

Watch for the power on light on your TV.. your TV may take a few seconds to power on..

Wait a couple seconds. if your TV has not turned back on, press the REVERSE button again. the POWER button should blink once again in response

If your TV did not turn on. You may have to repeat pushing the REVERSE button waiting a couple seconds for the remote to try turning on your TV. For some people this can take several times, if not a dozen times. Just be sure to be patient and wait a couple seconds in between pressing the REVERSE button again. (what the RCA universal remote is doing is going through a list of codes trying to find the right model to pair to)

4)
Assuming the remote finally turned on your TV.. We are almost done. We programmed the remote to turn off the TV and turn on the TV. now we want to press the STOP button on the RCA universal remote to lock in those codes into the remote. After pressing the STOP button the light on the remote POWER button should turn off.

5)
We are done. You should be able to change the channels and raise and lower the volume of your TV.
