If the chip was blank, the IR leds would not be blinking. What kinds of TV did you try it on?

Those are some of the major brands, so they should be supported. And you have R3 installed, so it should be sending the European codes. Can you try it with one end of R3 disconnected?

It would be unusual for a part like that to fail, but let's check it. With one end still disconnected from the board, measure the resistance of R3.

I change the R3 and always the same thing. I am really disappointed. I do not just measure the output of r3 I do not have that materielle. that's why I buy a kit.
