Wife picked up a converter box at a garage sale for an old tv in the bsmt.
All packed up and looked new. Had are locals scanned in so it did work once.
Remote didn't work. She's very knowledgeable about tv hook-ups and remote programming.
She was testing batteries and hinting for ideas.
Told her that I have an ir receiver that I use with the scope.
No output!
Battery and connections good.
Another remote proved my receiver.
Inside shows power to ir emitter.
Keypress shows upkick in current.
Emitter test ok forward voltage-wise.
Scope shows data. No ir output however!
Told her to get a donor remote for transplant.
Put one in from a 30 year old rca remote and it works fine.
What I'm wondering is what kind of failure makes an ir emitter stop emitting ir?
Wasn't connections as I tried it again after removal.
