Still holding on to my S5 even though I have a Huawei P9 Plus. I don't ever want to give up my S5.

MY IR BLASTER or universal remote Sensor (for controlling electronic ) is not working and that is one of my main reason I went for this phone. Can it be replaced??? Or is it on board ?
I checked the sensor with another phone's camera and the light is not blinking as it use to do on my Samsung s4.
I need your urgent help please.
Thank you.

I am a Samsung Galaxy S5 & Note 4 fan. Both of these have were the last ones to have removable batteries & removable memory. This lets me always be able to use them. Batteries eventually wear out & won't charge anymore. But these phones are technically here forever -- due to their removable factors.
Also, there is an application that lets you take a picture of your self while taking a pic of something else i.e. a Sunset, a cloud group, being with friends etc. That app is no longer available in the later phones. I do have a Note 8 via unique circumstances. App is not available. The work arounds are not my preference although interesting.

There was an article about the S5 on Android Authority yesterday, quite a surprise. Here's a few excerpts:
"The Samsung Galaxy S5 is a phone close to my heart. Android Authority is your cutting edge guide to the latest Android devices, but it doesnÂ’t mean we canÂ’t get a bit sentimental now and again."
"I admit itÂ’s strange, but I love this phone. ThereÂ’s one dutifully sitting on the desk next to me right now. When the S8 came out, I stuck with the S5. When I had it stolen in South America, I sourced a new one in the next city. ItÂ’s the phone for me.
Ok itÂ’s not going to give you the mind-blowing levels of functionality that the new S9 can boast, but it still holds its own in most of the metrics."
"What I love about the Galaxy S5 is that it is the last phone in the Samsung S range to have a removable battery. The Galaxy S6 relented to the Apple model and brought in a glass back, so you have to stand by and watch as your battery deteriorates.
Not me. I havenÂ’t used a phone charger for years. When the battery runs low I just replace it with a spare, which cost about $8 each. Straight away youÂ’re back to 100%. Going out for the day? Pop a spare or two in your pocket. Enjoy a wry smile as your friends crouch in the corner of the bar next to a power outlet."
They also include a link where you can buy it for less than $200 new (it was $664), and I guess they get a share from the sales, but it's still nice to see a well known website say something good about your old but awesome phone. :-)
