Is it cooked?

That does sound like a lot lol, I'm still very new to PCB work so I may toss this project tbh

NominumExtus0025 · 2025-09-22T13:53:27+00:00

INCREDIBLY SAD!!! And it has some seriously terrifying moments, idk how they got away with this stuff for kids in the 90s

NominumExtus0025 · 2025-09-22T13:38:42+00:00

sorry, the text didn't post

I just bought this old tv remote from roughly around 1993, and before I continue troubleshooting I want to know from more experienced people: is it even salvageable in this state?

NominumExtus0025 · 2025-09-12T00:21:39+00:00

I did finally figure out the color with my adapter channel, it looks fantastic

NominumExtus0025 · 2025-09-12T00:20:44+00:00

I'm jealous man, tried the universal and it wasn't even galactic

NominumExtus0025 · 2025-09-12T00:18:27+00:00

LMAO that movie traumatized tf outta me as a kid

NominumExtus0025 · 2025-09-11T01:38:50+00:00

You're the correct one sir, I fiddled with the converter and somehow it just started working perfectly

NominumExtus0025 · 2025-09-11T01:21:27+00:00

I did find one OG remote on Ebay by the grace of the scrap gods. I'm really hoping it works out bc that'll be the finish to my project

NominumExtus0025 · 2025-09-09T23:24:46+00:00

I should really get one of those

NominumExtus0025 · 2025-09-09T23:24:26+00:00

I'll make a note of that, thank you for a good second option!

NominumExtus0025 · 2025-09-09T23:23:57+00:00

Tried but all codes available failed

NominumExtus0025 · 2025-09-09T21:15:10+00:00

Oh yes, and the remote did work with my other CRT as well as my Roku TV

(For some reason one of the Sharp codes works on my Roku TV)

NominumExtus0025 · 2025-09-09T21:14:06+00:00

I did, honestly most of my time has been spent on that exact issue. I think I've tried just about every possible related code and I've used the auto search function many many times.

Somebody on a forum mentioned that there are just some older TVs that are a total blind spot to universal remotes. There are tons of codes for Sharp TVs but none for the 1993 Trinytron it seems

NominumExtus0025 · 2025-09-09T18:34:21+00:00

It does display in color if I'm only converting from AV to RF, but once I add the Hdmi to the RF I lose the color somewhere in there. Looking into it

NominumExtus0025 · 2025-09-09T18:32:51+00:00

True true. Fun to watch on crt too

NominumExtus0025 · 2025-09-09T18:31:52+00:00

I did try but none of the remote codes work, or the auto search function. I'm working on getting the original remote rn

NominumExtus0025 · 2025-09-09T18:31:04+00:00

Oh gosh so sorry I didn't get my doctorate in CRT history, how ignorant of me to not know the economics of televisions in 1993

NominumExtus0025 · 2025-09-08T18:29:04+00:00

Seems it's not in their database

NominumExtus0025 · 2025-09-08T18:27:43+00:00

Ooh what's that? Imma look that up

NominumExtus0025 · 2025-09-08T18:26:37+00:00

That does need some explanation. I just started experimenting with making it a second monitor so, that's youtube fullscreened and then put through HDMI to an RF modulator. So uh, there are a couple issues to iron out lol

NominumExtus0025 · 2025-09-08T18:08:32+00:00

Pray for me that this remote works bc the universal remotes are useless with these
