Repair notes

 

Full repair description and observations

 

1

A new remote control equivalent was bought, and the problem persisted. This demostrates that the fault is in the receiving part in the TV

 

 

2

The IR receiving module was closed in a metalic can box. It was desoldered and opened.

 

 

3

The IR receiving diode (TFK BP W 41N)  and the only transistor (BC549b) present were replaced. This solved the problem. Most probably it was the diode the faulty component not the transistor
