One of my CM-7000's is cantankerous only working half the time. And you can see why in post#5 picture: They have a few dozen of those disastrous Chinese silver 'lytic caps on the motherboard! The COBY has even more: trouble waiting to happen.

Yes, I completely agree. Fix the actual problem instead of jury rigging it in a way that still makes it inconvenient to use, and will not solve things long-term. |

The Zeniths and Insignias even when brand new, out of the box, have a strange trait. When you tap gently on the case, the screen will freeze up for a split second. Same thing will happen when a light or other electrical item is turned or off. Everyone I had did the same thing, outside of that worked perfect.

Yup, actually there's two 1000 mfs on that end of the board, one @16V and the other @10V. Turned out the 10V one was bad. Replaced it and the unit works fine now. Might as well replace the rest as long as I got 'em. Thanks

On most of them, you can use a universal remote, but you can't rescan or change the parameters, as it wont access the menus. |

I have ~20 of the Zenith/Insignia boxes. I pick them up at thrift stores whenever I see them. Here they usually price them in the 1-3 dollar range when they show up at the local "Dig and Save". About 3/4 of the ones I have work, the rest don't power on. Now that I know what the problem likely is, I'll probably eventually see if I can fix them.
But I only have 4 of the remotes, and only 3 of those work.

You wouldn't happen to know the types would you? I have tons of the Zen/Insignia boxes, with the remotes. They're the best I've ever used, but the remotes suck. Tiny buttons, gray lettering on black plastic... Typically horrible modern design.

One of these: https://www.google.com/url?sa=i&rct=...48563889557528
267 is the code that works the Zenith boxes on mine. IIRC these are remotes are 10-15 years old now.
