own this TV for 2 or 3 years - TV itself works OK, but remote doesn't work anymore (replaced once, few weeks, same problems). Any ideas?

Don't know. Mine gets turned on by something in the environment close to me, but haven't figured out what. Shouldn't be a problem getting a remote to work with it unless there is something wrong with the RX/TX on the TV itself.Good luck!

Buy any vizio universal remote and it should be pre-programmed to work on a vizio. I had to buy a new remote after I lost my old one. I bought this one VIZIO XRU110 3-DEVICE UNIVERSAL REMOTE CONTROL (XRU110)

I have several Vizio TVs; the remote on the 48" failed this month. The TV is connected to a cabel box so I only used the Vizio remote to get to the TV's smart features, like Netflix - I tried the remote from a smaller Vizio TV and it worked fine. Also, I found that I could use the cabel box remote to get to the Vizio's smart TV features so I don't really need the Vizio remote.

Mine worked fine, but it sounds like you have a defect remote. I would suggest contacting the vendor. They will probably just send you a new one.

Try unplugging your Roku for about a minute, and plugging it back in!, I don't have a Roku 3, but my remote worked right out of the box. Hope this helps!

Hi Jennifer, Have you had any luck yet with your receiver? The Amazon web page asked me to reply. If you've fixed your problem then ignore my ramblings. So a few questions first off. Did the receiver work before and then just stop? Did you add new components or change any of your settings? Check those first. :) Maybe try to connect your devices directly to the tv to see if they still work. Good luck

Oh my gosh, that is EXACTLY the same problem we are having. It started maybe 4-6 months out of warranty. I am SO mad about t his. We are out of warranty and took it to a TV repairman, he said he couldn't fix it because they don't make just the part that is needed. We would basically need to replace the whole LCD at that point and that wouldn't be worth it. (cost me $75 for the assessment too!) I am going to call Samsung tonight but I am not hoping for much.

I haven't had any problems with mine, but I did have a similar problem with another model and this is how it started before the whole screen went dark. I had a technician come by. He said it was the mother board and that he would fix it but he couldn't guarantee it wouldn't happen again. He said that it's best to replace the mother board, and if you have to do that you might as well buy another tv. I took a chance and he fixed the problem temporarily, then it died, so I threw it away and bought this LG. I've had it since July 2013 and it's worked fine. Mine is the same model in a 50-inch. I did buy the 5 year warranty just in case since it's new technology. With these smart tvs it's best to get the warranty because you never know. If it's still under warranty, you should return it and have them replace it before your warranty expires because once the mother board gives out it's too expensive to fix and you're better off buying another tv.

I'm really interested in hearing what you found. We just got a new Samsung TV and it has the same problem.

I would call customer support on the issue. Seems like you received a faulty remote :/

Vizio sent techs to my home to replace components on the TV to fix this. It worked for about 1 week and has now failed again. They are now going to deliver a "recertified TV" as a replacement.Hopefully that fixes it, but after more than a year of supposed fixes, I am not optimistic...

Unfortunately this is not a unique problem. My research shows many customers have had this happen to their Sony TV's, even after just a year or so. My TV lasted 18 months before this happened. Bloggers have documented that it can't be fixed, certainly not at a cost that is worthwhile. The only option is to recycle the TV and buy a new one...of a different brand with a more stellar reliability rating. Sorry.

Could be a bad main board. Mine went out a year-and-a-half or so ago. It cost about $350 to replace it through a local repair company. Not sure if it is worth it though. I bought a new tv about 6 months ago and it was $650. You may want to check around.

Call Amazon to return the tv. I just talked to them about exchanging a tv for another one, but they said they can only refund and then I'd have to purchase new. They said the only way they exchange is it one was damaged and then they would send you the same model.

I'm glad I found your post Alan... I almost sold this TV over the OPC issue. I found it terribly irritating, but turning it on and to 1 fixed it.

For all those who have experienced this problem - did Samsung fix this by replacing/repairing the frame? I am seriously considering buying this TV, and this is the only issue that is making me hesitate.Thanks

Yes - the problem was that the on/off switch on the TV was faulty. A service technician came over and put in a new one and now the TV works great! So it wasn't the remote. I did find that the service was great when the guy came to take care of it. Lucky for me, he had two switches in his truck because it turned out that one of the new ones he had was also bad. I went online to Samsung to schedule the fix.

We are having the exact same problem with our TV, it just started this week...bought it 2 yrs ago..this should not be happening to something I paid $1400 for...Have you called Samsung? We are going to, but since the TV is out of warranty it will not matter.
