We have a Toshiba tv and the remote control doesn't turn tv on- probably due to the red light not working. If I could source another remote with the same serial number, would it work on my set? Thanks

You can get "universal remote controls" that work with any tv (this is handy if yours is no longer made).

If you have a smart phone, you should be able to download an app that acts as the TV remote.
Yes it will, roo.

Thanks, don't think my little Nokia counts as a smart phone! Not sure if my husband's phone is though. Will ask.
Smartphones work very well as remote controls, until the smartphone owner goes out with it :D

Thank you all. Barmaid, am trying your suggestion, thanks
A question was posted last Saturday about a replacement Remote Controller for a Toshiba and Buenchico advised against a Universal Replacement and suggested a dedicated one.

See his reply in the following link, which includes a further link to a firm that supplies suitable items. :-
