3 remote controls stop working on like morning. Any concept?
Answers: Well IF you're trying to control ONE PIECE of equipment....it's the equipment's Infra-red reciever in the equipment that's messed up.....
IF you have 3 pieces of equipment and 3 remotes that suddenly erstwhile...THEN LOOK at your LIGHTBULBS....
I know....what in the HECK does a lightbulb own to do with anything?!!
Well, if it's flourescent....it can generate Light side that FLOOD out the Infra-red spectrum. It happened greatly with TOSHIBA put money on in the 90's...
But that's a delirious guess....
WHAT CHANGED in your room two days ago ?
Storm? Grease Fire?
Painted within FLAT instead of Satin??
Moved equipment from one side to the other?? Up or down perhaps?
What happen when you get RIGHT UP ON IT beside the remotes??
Did you UNPLUG all three unit from the power for 5 minutes?? (One glitch could lock up all 3 units)
sounds resembling your cable box needs to be reprogramed again to work next to that remote. the other devices go through singular if your cable box is set up.
Wow, all at alike time. The signal could be gone on your recivers or on the remotes. I hope it's the remotes. You should order some contemporary ones off of amazon.
Other than discouraging luck or sabotage, I can expect of three things that could cause this.
Assuming that these are IR remotes.
Has somethings be moved such that the IR windows on the equipment no longer hold a direct line of verbs to the remote when you use it?
Have you changed any compact florescent lights in the room? It seem to me that there be a problem with IR flicker form some rash electronic ballast CFLs over whelming IR receivers. (I thought this be taken care of a long time ago.) Do the remotes work when you shut bad all the florescent lights surrounded by the room?
Has the lighting in the room changed such that direct sunlight (or warmth lamp) is shining on the IR receivers? This could overload the IR receiver.
You can view the IR output of remote controls using some digital cameras & TV little one monitors. Just watch the monitor while you point the remotes at the lens and press buttons. Can you see the IR LED flicker when you do this?
------------------------------...
If the remotes are RF (the charitable that can go through walls), they could be overloaded by some foreign device that transmits on the same frequency. Perhaps a hot router?

>>cable and TV remotes will work if I place them within a couple of inches of the addressee.
This would suggest one of two possibilities:
1.
You got a load of weak battery. Were all your replacement battery from the same packet?
2.
Something is overloading the receivers. Are these IR or RF remotes?
If they are (the more adjectives type) IR remotes, the interference would have to be IR wishy-washy. Since you have ruled out the lights surrounded by the room, check the following. Are there any other IR devices contained by the room? Examples: IR remote extenders, some real cheap remote controlled toys. A remote possibility is that the interference is coming surrounded by a window from the outside. You could use drapes to rule this out.
If the remotes are of the RF type (the kind that will work through walls), try shutting off possible sources and see if it make a difference. Examples: routers, non-IR remote control devices. wireless headphones, Bluetooth devices, computers beside wireless internet.
were adjectives the batteries replaced at like peas in a pod time if so they would all run out one and the same time especially the cheap kind
