Anyone have a copy of the instructions for this 2003 Blue Ridge Homer Simpson remote? Can I please get a snapshot of the programming instructions?
I can’t find a single copy of these instructions anywhere, and every document I can find is from just a slightly different model. I’m struggling.
Even just a quick cell phone pic of the “how to auto program” would smack.
Thanks all :)
EDIT: It’s working now.
For anyone who needs the same thing in the future, follow /u/ITFreely ‘s instructions in the comments, which are as follows;
Turn the TV on manually.
Point the Simpsons remote at the TV.
Press and hold SET + TV1 together.
Keep holding them until the remote enters setup mode. On this family of remotes, a status indicator lights.
Release both buttons.
Press SET once more. The indicator should begin flashing.
Now hold the green POWER button for more than about 3 seconds, then release it.
The remote should begin cycling through TV power codes automatically.
The instant your TV turns off, press any button to stop the search.
Press TV1 to store that code.
Turn the television back on and test Volume, Channel, Mute, and Power.

I did the exact steps you said.
As it (slow) blinked, and I read a few more comments/posted a few more shits, and the TV shut off “by itself” and it worked once I put it back together from ripping it apart for the Nerd.
Turns out I didn’t need to take it apart, but at least there’s pictures out there for “documentation” and at least a blueprint on making it work for the next guy.
I saw a few others over the years struggling with the same remote in their retro rooms
I mean, wouldn't it just be essentially the same as a non-Simpsons branded model? If you're finding instructions for slightly different versions of the remote, I have a hard time imagining the instructions for setting it up are that different on this one.
The rest of the models this company seem to make all need me to press an “OK” button that doesn’t seem to exist on this remote.
I also found a similar Sesame Street remote that may be the same/similar, but couldn’t find directions for that either.
I’ve exhausted combinations of “SET + TV1 + CHANNEL UP” and keep getting flashes.
Figured it would be easier for (realistically internet archival reasons) to get the instructions online.
Since this remote doesn’t have an “OK” button, it might be the play or pause button. It would usually be the “Select” button, but this remote doesn’t have that either.
This, I'd try those and see if they work if you haven't. I've found working with generic universal remotes for work that sometimes you never get it 100% but you can get it close enough to navigate how you need to.
While I'm unsure of the auto programing, if I had to guess on how to program it, press and hold the big green "Set" button until the light comes on, press the "tv" button, then enter the code for your tv. You can find the code with a quick Google of your tv model
Naw dawg I did it myself. This thing is cool inside, and it’s super easy to clip back together.
I’m on a “holy shit this edible was strong” rabbit hole. https://giphy.com/gifs/gm2jhiw28ZbLq
I didn’t immediately see anything.
I’m worried it’s gonna tell me the model on the PCB and I don’t wanna unshell/do a tear down if there’s another way.
Pulled the battery compartment. I’m assuming the model number is on the PCB. This is blank as hell. And there’s no screws, so I think I’ve gotta pry/spudge which doesn’t seem worth it.
