Tv turns on then off.

Post by esmith1390 »

When I use the kit to turn the TV on it turns off right away is normal or do I have a problem?

this can happen if the TV responds to two different codes, just put it in your pocket when the target TV turns off

You can also switch out to a battery holder that has a SDPT switch on it. I upgraded the standard socket to a 3AA with SPDT on it. Helps preserve battery life and keeps the transistors from warming up because of constant use to turn off a single set or a few sets.
