I have a Fisher Mini component system (1991) mod CA-M44. The remote stopped working, I have tested the remote and there is output but no response on the unit, is there any suggestions or does anyone no where I could get a schematic on this system. Suggestions would be great the remote hasn't worked in years (since almost before the internet) The actual unit still works great, it just does not respond to the remote.
Thanks in advance pcjfx
Fisher was manufactured by Sanyo. Parts and service manuals, if still available for your unit should be able to be ordered from Sanyo parts distributors.
The hand held remotes for most of the consumer electronics equipment is considered a non serviceable unit. They normally do not sell the parts to service it. I suspect this is also true for your type of unit.

The OP might try herman electronics for parts and that remote, I've had luck in the past with them.
Also there are lots of aftermarket suppliers on the web for oem remotes. just google remotes.
There is a possibility of bad solder connections at the main unit's remote receiver.

How did you check out the remote? I usually use a video camera myself. When you look at the remote you will see the LED flash when you press the remote's buttons. A friend of mine once had a similar problem. He just metered at the output of the remote and since he was getting an indication there he said it was working. When I used my video camera and couldn't see any flash I changed the LED. That fixed it right up. You can get the schematic from Fisher/Sanyo. I have a Fisher CA-271 system. When I first bought it I called up the company and ordered the schematics right from them. That was quite some time ago though so I'm not sure what they might charge for schematics now. For starters I would just scope the remote receiver circuit to ensure it isn't just a flakey solder joint inside the main unit as another poster mentioned.
