I can confirm the TSOP38238 works like a charm. Thanks:) Hi, thanks for reading my question:). My IR Receiver stopped working “remote works fine, checked with phone camera, and double checked trying to pair my tv remote“. I Guess the sensor went bad, I tried to measure any change in resistance while pointing the remote on it, but no sign of any life. I want to replace it with a new one, but I don’t know what to get.. I was thinking about the TSOP38238. Can some one help me out? Cheers:)
’’’’ Nederlands antwoord is ook prima:)
Hi @jamesquasi According to the service manual (see p.34) IR801 - JBL part # 232200044009 has the following specifications, so your choice is not too bad but maybe it needs to be exact ;-) receiver 2.7-5.5V HRM138aB710FC 37.9KHz The manual has schematics so that may help as well. You can view the manual online although it is a bit slow doing it this way as you have to enter the page number at the bottom every time to go to the next page. Just look at the page number of the relevant section in the index on p.1 and then go to the bottom and enter the page number in the box and click Go. If you want to download it you need to “sign up” though.
Step 1: check if your remote is working: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UMPoifER… If yes, than you have another problem, continue to step 2. Step 2: This video shows you how to open the bar: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0SeM-ZiX… Step 3: Check if your ir Receiver works: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wc2XkdFY… If Yes, you have another problem if No, replace the IR receiver.
