I have a small 14" Orion CRT TV that i got for Christmas from my parents about 6-8 years ago. It has a nice remote, but the remote just stopped working about 3-4 years ago. I know for a fact that the remote still works just fine, because my remote works on my Sister's TV. So, i know that the problem is with the TV.
Since i have NEVER taken apart a TV, what do you think the problem is? Could it be that the IR Receiver in the TV burned out?
I am thinking of tearing it apart next weekend. What are some safety precautions i should use? I know i need to discharge the CRT, if i want to live to see tomorrow . So, to do that, all i need is an insulated screwdriver(grounded to the frame), and put it under the "suction cup" on the cathode tube? That wont wreck the TV, will it?
