Narrow Beam LED not working, Works Through Windows?
Hey I just made my tv be gone and one of the narrow beam LEDs doesnt work what could cause this? Should I try to unsolder it then resolder it or what could be wrong? Also where can I buy a replacement? One last thing, can this work through double-pane windows like ones many people have in their homes?

i would first check if the LED or transistor is in backwards, or if there's a short circuit. reflow the solder points too.Pocket Rocket wrote:Hey I just made my tv be gone and one of the narrow beam LEDs doesnt work what could cause this?

you can buy IR leds at electronics shops, including radio shack!
