If the serial numbers are the same as your old remote, and you are SURE that the batteries are actually good (brand new from the store), then it will work right away. If nothing is happening despite the afore mentioned certainties, then either the new remote is bad or your TV's remote sensor is is dead.

Go to this site and get this tool. http://www.infratector.newremotecontrol.com/I have one and it works well for solving these types of problems.

First, I would check the battery and ensure that there is power going into the receiver. Also check that the tiny pins are faced in the right direction. If you recently purchased this item, ask for a new remote/exchange/refund. If you can't get one, then order a new remote or receiver...I am pretty sure they are inexpensive. Hope this helps.

Hi Joseph, not sure if this will post under my account or not, but responding to the email: You know, I've tried...it seems like it will work at the same time for a minute...but then it stops. It's also kind of schitzo, and confusing to work. I push the right button and it doesn't go on, or I push both and they both come on, then I push the left and nothing happens, and it's unclear how to reset it. I compare it to how you push all the buttons on your remote when the TV is frozen. Seems kind of like that. Since my posting, I've stopped using it all together, because I thought that I'd just make the double light come on and flash, just for visibility. But then I discovered that it wouldn't last but for a moment. Oh well. I'm glad this was a gift, because I would have felt frustrated and returned it by now. :(

I would make sure the candle had good batteries and was switched to the "on" position. Also check to make sure the plastic tab protecting the remote's battery has been removed so it will turn the candle on and off. If it still does not work, the remote's battery may need replacing.

I don't think so. It needs to be programmed I guess. What do you mean by not working. broken? If not, did you try replacing battery of the remote. I never had a problem so far been using it more than an year.

You must use the remote control that was included in the box with the tv. If it doesn't work, check the battery to make sure that the polarities are correct. Also make sure that the bottom 2 Inches of the screen is clear so that the Remote Infa-Red signal reaches the TV.

My TV came with a very similar remote so I already knew how to use it. If you need to I'm sure you could download instructions online. My remote also didn't come with batteries and I didn't expect it to. If your question is "where do they go?" The cover is under the number pad on the remotes face. Hope this helps.

Check the obvious stuff first, make sure all plugs are plugged in properly and that your remote has fresh batteries. Turn on tv manually, then you'll know if it was your remote. good luck

Sorry to hear that. All my remotes did work. I would go to your account and under your orders select the option to return or exchange. I am sure they would be happy to replace them if they are not working.

The remote control should work provided the batteries are good and inserted correctly according to polarity. However, sometimes I have problems with remote controls not working due to poor battery contact with the metal tab it is supposed to make contact with even though I know that the batteries are new and in good condition. This can happen at any time and a remote control that used to function fine, suddenly no longer works. When this condition occurs I usually rotate the batteries in the remote control by rolling them with finger pressure back and forth. If that doesn't do the trick, I remove and re-insert the batteries. Usually either one or the other methods resolve the battery contact problem. If you notice that the battery doesn't seem to have enough pressure on the contact when you insert them, you may have to stretch the spring slightly to increase the spring tension more to force better contact action. Hope this helps.

If you are sure the battery is good and it is installed with the polarity in the right position and it still is not working you may have a defective remote. There is no much else to check. You will know the remote is transmitting when tre red light near the antenna lights when you push the button. Also make sure the tiny dip switches on both the remote and the main unit are set to the same code

Sorry about that. I bought 2 remotes from Coby and they did not work. I tried to use Master remotes I had already and they did not work. I threw the TV out. It was a waste of my time. Coby did nothing!!! Don't buy a Coby anything!

after I installed mine and turned on TV it worked normally so maybe you need to reinstall as may not be seated properly. If that's not it must have other problems

For unit #RC-017:On the front face, (numeric keypad & power button side), at the bottom is a small slide panel. This panel covers the battery compartment. Hold the remote, in your hand, as you would to operate the TV. Immediately under and adjacent to the "0" key, fine the panel, with thumb pressure applied downward the panel will slide toward you and off to reveal the battery compartment. It is tight, but should be to ensure a smooth fit. Refrain from using a sharp edge to pry the cover; damage, to the panel, may occur.Good Luck!

Mine did the same thing before it quit turning on completely. There's a part inside that is failing, and unless you are still under warranty it will cost more to fix it than it will to buy a new one. I ended up having to buy a new, different tv. I wish you luck but unfortunately you are probably going to need to purchase a new tv.

Welllll, we have this problem too. I called the company and got a new remote and it still didn't work all the time. We put a titanium battery in and it's now working all the time but I really don't know if that's why.
