My recently assembled TV B Gone kit doesn't seem to work on the TV's here at home, or at work
The alkaline batteries are fresh, and the green LED will not flash when the batteries are inserted. The green LED will flash only when the button is pressed, and the run time of the green flashing LED is approximately 55 seconds. After pressing the button, I verified all 4 IR LED's ARE flashing with my laptop web camera. I confirmed the flat spot on the green LED is facing the black wire. (Hopefully, the pictures of the board are viewable). The white stuff on the board is adhesive from the foam tape I couldn't get off. Any other help is appreciated.

Re: TV B Gone not working after assembly
Sounds like the TVBGone itself is working. What kind of TVs are you trying to control?

How far away are you? What happens if you get close to the IR sensor on the TV?

Your TV might not be supported - try going to your local bar & trying there
