Can anybody help?
The remote control for my Alva AELKDVD1988 isn't working (only some of the buttons work). To cut a long story short is my one for all urc-7140 knackered because I can't get it to work with the above tv-dvd combination.
I've done everything in the book and replaced the batteries.

Some universal remote controls will not work with TV-DVD combos.
This is general advice from several universal remote sites (not OneForAll)
"Some Combo devices (e.g. TV/VCR, TV/DVD, DVD/VCR, etc.) will require you to set up two different Mode buttons to control both parts of the Combo device. For example, if you have a TV/DVD Combo, you might need to set up one code under the TV button to control the TV part AND a separate code (under any other Mode button) to control the DVD part."

Ended up having to send it off to Swansea to be sorted and updated. Got it back today, all set up so it works fine now.

Pleased you're sorted.
I assume that was the original Alba remote that was repaired.

No. That one's ****ed so I had to get a new one.
