fredsoneya Posted June 22, 2022 Share Posted June 22, 2022 Hi Everyone, My IR only works if it’s held approx 1 inch in front of the sensor on the TV and not when it’s mounted next to it - obviously this isn’t going to work, any ideas? Am I going mad? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lippavisual Posted June 22, 2022 Share Posted June 22, 2022 Open it up, remove plastic casing from emitter and hot glue it in there. Cleaner look as well Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cleaner look as well Thanks I will try that shortly… I had a problem where I was holding it closer and it wasn’t working so a little worried the TV doesn’t like it if it’s too close or not directly in line. Seems very buzzard Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Neo1738 Posted June 22, 2022 Share Posted June 22, 2022 Generally they are hot glued in place. Shouldn't be an issue. The flat back part is usually what sits on the device maybe flip it around in testing to match. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fredsoneya Posted June 22, 2022 Author Share Posted June 22, 2022 I’ve made a video - so strange. When I hold it an inch or so away, everything works perfectly. when I place it on or near the sensor, anyway round, it just doesn’t work Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jakelay Posted June 22, 2022 Share Posted June 22, 2022 Maybe try a different IR bud? It’s possible the IR isn’t shooting out in as wide a spread. Just a thought. . . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jakelay Posted June 25, 2022 Share Posted June 25, 2022 One other simple thing, is the white tape cover peeled off of the back of the IR blaster? Could be blocking some of the IR. Again, just brainstorming here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
