There's often a code you have to put in the remote to allow it to operate other devices, even different brands. Look in the TV documentation for setting up the remote.

go into your TV settings and look for "cec"
"(Consumer Electronics Control) allows for control of devices over the HDMI port.
All modern televisions and AV-receivers support HDMI-CEC, which is a technology that allows devices to talk with each other over the HDMI cable. "
enable this , you may find it gives you control0 -
Make and model of each device might help...No free lunch, and no free laptop
