    2 LG TV's in same room, one remote turns both on or off ...

    I have 2 LG TV's in a room. It seems the power button is the only IR button on the remote, since pressing the power button on either remote turns on/off both TV's. Once turned on, the remotes only work on their respective TV's (that is a setting I set on each, I gave each it's own ID)


    I have "solved" the issue by putting electrical tape over most of the sensor on front of the TV's so they dont pick up the other remote's signal, but I was wondering of there was a more elegant electrical fix that could be done on the board of the remote and/or TV to make the remotes power button truly independant

      hahah this is really funny project.. open each RC and put black plastic ring ( should cover the end of LED ) on the IR LED so it will be focused at straight direction LOL

          I accomplished basically the same thing by taping over the reciever. I was wondering if there was a way to replace a component in the remote and/or TV to make it distinct

              DeLonghi AC Remote only accepts 3V
              by cstout
              Hello all, I've been looking into this portable air conditioner's remote control and can't find what could be causing the problem - or possibly this remote is just terribly designed.

              The remote only works at exactly 3V - if I drop it any lower, using my bench power supply, to say, 2.9V then the remote will not flash the display and turn off. I don't have any AAA batteries that are exactly 1.5V each so I'm not sure if this remote is designed this way - to only use the freshest possible batteries, or if there's a failed component in the mix.

              I can't find any schematics...

              MacBook Pro 14" M1 Pro Turns on functions then turns off when I plug in USB C cable
              by Stephen
              MacBook Pro 14" M1 Pro Turns on functions then turns off when I plug in USB C cable to reset the computer. I disconnect the battery fully and then reconnect it and it won't turn back on. After letting it sit for a day I plug the battery back up, and the MagSafe 3 cable and it powers on and stays ons, once I plug in a USB C cable into the port closes to the MagSafe port it turns off and the Amber light turns off and won't turn on. No water damage, nothing, I want to do a DFU restore to wipe the computer since the customer stated they did an update and ever since it just decided to not work...

              LG L192WS-BN backlight turns off after 1 second
              by www
              I am testing an old LG L192WS-BN monitor I have that gives an image, but has a backlight issue. When you turn it on the backlight turns on 1 second and it turns off, turns on again, 1 second and it turns off and stays off. Using a flashlight I can see there's still an image.

              I replaced a bulged cap on the main board, but made no difference. I also got another exact same model monitor that has a broken ccfl (the connector got ripped from the panel and the main screen connector is also broken so I can't use this panel to test), tried using the main board from this one, same issue....

              Zenith Z50PJ240 - White Screen with 'Power Only' displayed
              by cmonkey
              Turned on my lovely plasma and after about 30 seconds the screen below showed up. None of the inputs are responsive, just the red light flashes when I push it. Remote doesn't work either. To turn it off I need to unplug it and when I plug it in again it turns back on to this screen.

              I only found one reference to this issue with a different model but it didn't look super reliable. Only mentioned a 'main board fault'. The main board for this one is on ebay for $34 so might need to go with that.

              Anyone seen this before?

              Thinking about it some more, it happened...

              LG 55ec9300-UA No Picture, No Sound, no 5vUSB
              by rhinomods
              Howdy,
              I have gone through the forums and tried a bunch of things that others had posted. I am hoping some one can point me into the right direction.

              Original symptoms.
              press the power button you can hear the relay click.
              The LG logo illuminates white for a moment then fades out.

              Behind the back cover.
              when Power button is pressed the red LED on the Main/Media board stays illuminated.
              You can not turn the tv off with the power button. when using IR remote You hear the relay click OFF and the Red LED is no longer lit.
              ...
