Hi

I use an Olevia (no longer manufactured) TV as one of my monitors. It's stuck very firmly on the wall and the remote has died. Now I can't turn on the screen. It goes from green to red. Does anyone know of a universal remote that will work with Olevia TVs or any type of TV? I've seen them for Panasonic, LG etc but not for any TV. It's infuriating as I have a Samsung TV sitting nearby but can't get this one off the wall. The release clips seem to be stuck.

Years ago I had a "universal" remote control, that I used for TV, VCR,DVD and CD players.
However (and you're going to hate this bit) in order to "teach" the universal remote the correct frequencies (?) you had to use the original remote controls. For example you put the two remotes together and then press "Play" or "Rewind" and then program a button on the universal remote to correspond to the action.

Sorry I can't help you further.Maybe ask all your friends over for a beer and ask them all to bring a remote to try

You could try buying a used remote from ebay

or amazon

At less that $10.00 it's much cheaper than supplying beer for your friends

Hi, I use a Logitech Harmony 650 my daughter bought me some time back. I use it on my pay tv box. It will do my tv and blue ray but I’m olde and like pushin’ buttons.

At a quick look it seems there are codes for universal remotes and have a setup for Olevia TVs. Check this page

Good work guys! Thanks for all the responses. Now, do I order a Harmony or an Olevia?:-) Another annoying aspect is that I have a small Olevia TV in the Philippines that I know has a remote that works with this TV but I didn't know I had a problem when I was over there 2 weeks ago! If I use that, I'd have to take the remote on holiday with me each time.:-) Decisions!

You should be able to buy a Universal remote at any electronics outlet that sells tvs. Most Universal remotes will accept the code type entry.

The Logitech Harmony is a bit different. You plug it into your pc via USB the it goes off to Logitech where you tell the software about your tv or whatever. You can have 4 or so devices configured at once and flip between them thus reducing the amount of remotes hanging about.

Be sure to ask the sales person that you can put in the Olevia codes. You might have to try the different codes to get the correct one. Most Universal remotes have the list of codes in their manual.
