Remote Sensor not working HP h8-1260t

My computer works fine to watch TV on Windows Media Center using an over the air antenna.  But the Remote sensor does not seem to be working.  I have the remote sensor plugged into the IR IN spot.  When I press any of the remote control buttons, nothing happens.  There is not even a light on the remote sensor indicating that it has detected any signal.  The Device Manager shows a functional "Microsoft eHome Infrared Transceiver" in the Human Interface Devices section.  I have tried to update the drivers, but it states no update needed.  I uninstalled and re-installed the drivers as well without any luck.  Any advice appreciated.

Hello again Jbschwart,
Thank you for the quick feedback on the status of your issue. Have you tried a Clean Boot yet? I am providing you with an Microsoft Support document: How to perform a clean boot in Windows, which will guide you through the process. As well another thing to try is to follow the steps set out in the HP Support document: Using Microsoft System Restore (Windows 7), which will guild you through the process of restoring your computer back to a point in time where the IR worked.
My last thought on this would be to try the HP Support document: Backing Up Your Files (Windows 7) to back your personal files up and then use the HP Support document: Performing an HP System Recovery (Windows 7) to recover your computer back to factory.
As the recovery back to factory will replace ALL the software if the issue persists then it is a hardware issue and I think it would be best if you contact HP Technical Support for repair options.
I would like to thank you for posting on the HP Forums. Have a great day!
Please click the "Thumbs Up" on the bottom right of this post to say thank you if you appreciate the support I provide!

  • My Apple TV remote is not working.

    My Apple TV remote is not working. It was fine this morning, but now ATV is not responding to it.  It still access iTunes on my Mac so I don't think it's a battery issue. The white light flashes on ATV, but nothing happens.  I have restarted ATV several times from the mains, but no change.  Please help!

  • Remote does not work correctly after update

    Hello,
    the subject explain it already:
    After upgrading to 2.3 the apple remote does not work correctly anymore:
    I need to push the buttons twice, and than atv is only reacting sometimes.
    Any ideas?

    Same problem here. First, I thought it was the Apple remote's battery. I replaced that and the problem persisted. I then used my digital video camera to verify that the remote was actually transmitting infrared, it was. In frustration, I tapped the buttons rapidly while pointing at the Apple TV. The Apple TV responded. The next button press it failed to respond. I tapped rapidly again and it finally responded. After many many rapid presses, while pointing directly at the Apple TV, it finally began responding to all presses. Once I'd regained control (I thought) I unpaired and re-paired the remote. Everything continued to work. At that time I also saw that I could "learn" another remote. So, I set up my Samsung TV remote. Sweet. Until the Apple TV went into screensaver mode again and I had to go through the same rapid button press sequence... with either the Apple remote or my learned Samsung remote. Conclusion, since the Apple TV will become fully responsive after the rapid button press sequence, it is certainly a software related problem.

    There are some USB IR receivers that allow the Apple Reomote to work with software such as Remote Buddy

  • Toshiba - A665-S5170: ambient light sensor not working after recovery

    Hi all,
    Two weeks ago I bought Toshiba - Satellite Laptop Model: A665-S5170 | SKU: 1859059
    http://www.bestbuy.com/site/Toshiba+-+Satellite+Laptop+/skuId=1859059
    I tried to resize the C: partition using the recovery option. It works fine ending with C: partition (100 GB) and D: partition (480GB)
    All the divers and applications restored fine except the ambient light sensor.
    I used system recovery to out-of-box state, but still have the same problem "ambient light sensor not working".
    Would you please help me find a solution?
    Thanks in advance.

    I had the same problem. I tried resetting SMC but that didn't do the trick. Then I tried “Repair disc permissions“ and that fixed the problem.

  • Proximity Sensor Not Working on Brand new Z2

    Hi, The Proximity sensor is not working on my new Xperia Z2. I have ran all the tests on the phone and they have failed. When Put up to the ear during a call the screen does not switch off and all the icons get pressed etc. This is VERY annoying as i cant even speak to anyone for a minute before im dialing someone else by mistake. All Software is up to date. SONY, What the soslution here? I will be taking it into the Sony Center here tomorrow but I dont want to be without my only buisness phone for 3-4 days.

    OK installed each update to the pre-installed apps one at a time and tested the proximity sensor after each. All fine till Sony TV Side view : quick remote. after instalation proximity sensor stopped working. after uninstall all working fine again.Seems this is the culprit but I will add my 3rd party apps one at a time just to make sure. 

  • IPhone 4 Remote App Not working

    Hello,
    Sorry for posting another 'not working' thread, but having searched the forum I cannot find my answer.
    I am not very technical, but I have iTunes and an iPhone 4.
    I have the remote app and the app has worked perfectly up until recently.
    I have upgraded iTunes to 10 and also my antivirus.
    Now I know alot of these things could be caused by the firewall, but I have allowed iTunes to be let through the firewall and I have switched off the firewall in the past to ensure it was not this.
    When I switch on the computer and open iTunes then go to the remote app it works. It is when the iPhone 'sleeps' that the library wont re connect, OR if i have been using iTunes and then try and start the remote that it will not work.
    Any ideas at all as it is so frustrating. I am not technically minded, so switching router channels etc and proxy settings/DHCP etc dont really make sense to me.
    I have tried rebooting everything including the router, but believe it is something simple as it was working prior to iTunes 10.
    I am running a PC on Vista
    Thanks
    Steve

  • LaserJet Pro MFP M125nw - Scan to app All-in-One Remote does not work

    Hi gurus,
    Basically I have pruchased that super-printer and I am now trying to achieve scan to my mobile devices.
    I have one iPad 2 on iOS 7, on 2 Android devices (smaller tablet and phone) both running Kitkat 4.4.2
    I am trying to submit a scan from all these devices and retrieve the output within my mobile devices, actually this is fairly described here and concerns accurately my printer model :  http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/document?docname=c02486319&tmp_task=useCategory&cc=us&destPage=pr...
    Unfortunately, What happens :
    - From my iPad, the AiO app states that my printer is not compatible with the application !!
    - From my 2 Android devices, the All-in-One Remote app will work fine, except the scan feature as nothing happens (well, when tapping either 'Preview' or 'Scan' button in the Scan section, I see a 'Cancel' button during 0,1 second and I am back to that scan section)
    Any one could help please ???
    This question was solved.

    Hello,
    Can no one help ?
    Is the product description misleading ? Is the AiO app not really reasy to support this printer ?

  • Remote control not working on Touchsmart 610-1030uk

    Had been working fine for long time. Now out of warranty. Battery fine. Indicator on remote and on PC (white LED on front panel) both show IR is working. Mouse and keyboard still work fine. I have tried uninstalling and reinstalling drivers for Microsoft eHome infrared transceiver but still can't get the machine to respond to remote control. 
    Any thoughts?
    This question was solved.

    Hello frrw. Sorry to waste your time. I changed the batteries and it works fine. It seems the red LED on the remote and the white LED on the PC that flashes when I press a button on the remote do not mean that the batteries are strong enough. 
    Meanwhile I have that recurring problem with blu-ray players. I will post a new question and maybe you can help. 
    Many thanks.
