Just bought a new LG TV and the remote (although working - buttons lighting up etc) isn't controlling the TV. It's a programmable remote, so I'm presuming it needs recoding. I've had a quick search on the net to see if I can find the right code, but no joy. Does anyone know of any websites that will have the code I need?
cheers

If its a new tv im sure the remote should not need programing, normally you can program them to work dvd etc.
Multi remotes need to be in the right mode to work each device - so check it sin tv mode.
Sorry cant help any more.

Yep, it sounds like you've got the wrong remote. Never heard of one you have to program when it comes with the telly.
As for programmable ones, there are loads about - have a look in your Argos catalogue. One4all (or whatever they're called) are the market leaders and there are loads of different remotes, including some rather expensive ones at the top of the range which are touch-screen things that can do everything including make you a cup of tea and run the bath for you.
Go back to the shop, and tell them they've given you the wrong remote. Even if you got a discount, you were under the impression you were getting a fully functioning TV. Without the remote, you won't have access to all the functions.
If they can't find the correct remote, get them to source one for you, or get them to give you £100 back.

Was the remote damaged when it fell off the back of the lorry?

Chances are a one for all or programable remote wont do all the functions you need. As you will have to set up and tune in the tv. Go back to the shop and get the right remote, theve just obviously found any old remote to get you out of the shop. Or if it did fall of that lorry then search for "genuine replacement remote controls" with the make and model of your new tv. Genuine replacements cost lots of $$$ though |

I Know it - model number is RZ-37LZ55 - let me know if you have any luck! I've tried that link you posted but it won't let me view the page.....
Kinboshi - we didn't get any discount - even more reason to expect it all to work! It's definitely the right remote though.

It could actually be the Tv that is faulty and not the remote then.
You can try putting the remote next to a radio, set on mw or lw(try both), turn up the volume and then hold the remote close to the radio. Press down the remote buttons and you should here a pulsing noise.
This will show if the remote is transmitting.
No noise means remote faulty/pulsing noise means tv is faulty.

Surely as a display model you should get a discount it's used? |

Surely as a display model you should get a discount it's used? That's what I was thinking. If the remote doesn't work, take the whole thing back and get a full refund. They've sold you something that is not of merchandisable quality. |
