If I buy a new remote will it work for my TV?

I have an Ilo brand TV and tried using a universal remote to replace the original remote that broke. We could not get it to work. There was no code listed and we tried to do the whole search for codes thing and it didn't work. I am thinking of buying a remote off of ebay that is exactly the same as the one we broke. Will it for sure work for our TV?

    With eBay you never know what you're going to get. But if you're fortunate enough to get an exact replacement remote for your TV, and the new remote works as if it was new, then yes, that should solve it for you. Be prepared for the likelihood that you'll need to install fresh batteries in the replacement when it arrives.
