IR receiver punking out on my XBR

[zeno]

check one other thing. If there is sunlight or a bright light hitting
it it may be flooding out. Especially beware of any of the
"modern" bulbs. Cure is to remove the offender or put a small
hole on black tape & cover it. That works but your aim must be good.

I think these are pretty much the same. If its bad I would try one
that looks the same but check the pin out. You need ground, +5v & data out.

^^^ I think this. How long ago did you install your dimmable LED lighting in the room?

Gentlemen, thx a ton. Tom.J and Findm, this is exactly the information I need.
If the sensor has gone bad, where would I find a replacement, would you know of a source?

AFA the IR window, I used a glass cleaner to make sure that it wasn't obstructed.
The TV is in a darkened room, and nothing has changed AFA lighting in a dozen years.

Different - in pinout and electrically.

Looking from the top of the sensor, OP's is a mirror pinout of mine - swap the pins around and it would work if electrically the same, but.....his requires a "pullup" resistor (R3703 on his board), meaning it's a transistor output - the one I have is most likely a CMOS/FET output (direct connection to Standby 5V connection...). I was hoping....
