Oh Gods...no doubt they'll be among the keys that are knackered. I know, I know...it's another thing on my to fix list. Thanks, I'll give it a shot. Cross your fingers for me!

I never have to get the original remote out.

I was not however suggesting the OP didn't try and get the original remote, indeed I asked them to give the make and model of the TV in order to see if a replacement was available. My post was specifically in response to the post saying not to buy a universal remote.”

Things you don't use often are not usually available. Things like tuning and some teletext functions.

Have you ever used a harmony, the database contains every function for all my current kit.

Only for geeks though - extremely difficult and complicated pieces of kit - well beyond the 'normal' public.

There's only one option (default laptop I assume) in the drop down menu. However, when I check devices on the laptop control panel, it shows the TV so it is reading the connection in devices but not in the display drop down menu.”

Seriously a new remote is by far the best solution and need not be that expensive, if you give your TV details we may be able to help - at least there may be a cheap universal that does work with your TV.

As I said earlier my Harmony remote has more functions for my Panny TV than are available on the original.
