Tv No Longer Accepts Remote Control Input?

Our Samsung LN40C500F3FXZA TV, less than 2 years old, suddenly stopped accepting all remote control input. We have a second Samsung upstairs and the remote works fine on that TV.AND I checked to see if the remotes were possibly swapped. Both remotes work on the smaller Samsung, neither on this TV.Any ideas why a TV would suddenly stop accepting remote control commands? Or how to fix it?
