What should I do if the infrared (IR) receiver of my CHANGHONG LED40E1090H television is not working?

Question

Accepted Answer

If the infrared (IR) receiver of your CHANGHONG LED40E1090H television is not working, here are several solutions to continue using your television:

1. Use the physical buttons on the television

Your television is equipped with control buttons usually located on the side or below the screen. These buttons allow you to turn the television on and off, adjust the volume, and navigate through the menus without a remote control. This is a first step to check if the television responds without using the remote control.

2. Use a compatible mobile app

If your television is connected to WiFi, you can turn your smartphone into a remote control using dedicated apps:

Remote for Changhong TV (available on Android): This app allows you to control your television via the WiFi network.
Changhong TV Remote Control: For phones equipped with an IR transmitter (IR Blaster), this app can replace the physical remote control.

3. Purchase a replacement remote control

If the IR receiver is indeed defective, you may consider purchasing an official or compatible remote control for your model. Universal remote controls are generally not compatible with Changhong televisions, so it is advisable to look for a remote control specific to the model LED40E1090H. These remote controls typically cost between 8 and 12 euros.

Practical tip

Before buying a new remote control or seeking a repair, test the physical buttons on the television to confirm that the problem is indeed with the IR receiver and not the remote control itself.
