Title: Daveismissing!!!! Need Help!!!!
Post by: Scoobum on October 21 2019, 04:58:23 PM: I'm having no luck. So this Yamaha remote decides to die out of nowhere. Did the iPhone trick and there's no IR coming out of it. Is this repairable? And if so...what needs to be replaced. Heard it's a diode...or some fukn thing. Is the part generic?

P.S. Yes...fresh batteries.

Post by: Scoobum on October 22 2019, 01:10:53 PM: Thanks Dave. Talked to my buddy that's the long time audio tech. He's gonna have a look at it tonite. I can see the IR lite on all my other remotes with my phone...except the Yamaha.

Post by: daveismissing on October 22 2019, 01:18:05 PM: Good you did check a good one.
just testing- my Iphun blocks the IR but my dull webcam shows it clearly

Post by: Scoobum on October 22 2019, 01:24:56 PM: Yeah...had a look. My luck...is never anything that simple. The red lite comes on as soon as you touch any of the keys.

Post by: daveismissing on October 22 2019, 02:25:03 PM: Probably means the micro inside is still working so that is good.

Off to the Yamaha dealer to see if they have a fix for this HDMI handshake BS going on between the receiver and TV. Currently have the Blu Ray player HDMI'd to the TV...and the optical out from the TV to the receiver for sound.
