There was a problem filtering reviews right now. Please try again later.
I didn't rate technical support as they've been trouble free and I've had no reason to reach out for support.
Reported remote as defective to Amazon, and was quickly sent a replacement. But, same story. Replacement unit would not work! ?? ? How could this be2 defective remotes in a row?? Before trashing this remote, I paged through reviews and found one by Butch M., "Pathetic Tech. Support" in which he writes about extending the springs in the battery compartment. (Thank you Butch M.!) Checked, and the + end connections were indeed flat against the case. Extended them with a letter opener. Put in batteries and..... it now works.
The remote was easy to program once I was able to get it on and is fine for my simple bedroom TV.
However, I am quite miffed at having to having to do research to determine the possible problem, and then having to REPAIR a brand new item to get it to work.
The remote is certainly reasonable in price. Once it powered on, the remote was simple to program and fits my needs. For that I would have given the product a high rating. But because of manufacturer's problem which I had to first determine and then correct, it rates a big thumbs down.
I had a Logitech unit and all programming was through a USB port on the nose of it which ended up breaking the connector, so I needed to find something else.
This time It was simple... TV works for where I use it but I need a remote... and one that can control the TV and honestly a DVD player as well at most.....found this simple 3-device remote for about five bucks--- great price and controls everything as needed.
I did try the simple setup but it didn't control everything correctly. Then I tried the codes and the first controlled some things right, the second worked everyrhing perfectly.
So in the end it is a very basic remote that lacks the frills and coolness of others and trades it for simplicity and good function. Definitely would buy again if I need another basic remote.
Normally a battery compartment has a spring on the negative end and a flat plate on the positive end. This remote has springs at both ends. The spring on the positive end is fairly flat and imbedded too far inside the plastic casing preventing the battery from making a good contact.
Using a tiny screw driver, or tiny needle nose plyers, or the tip of a steak knife, carefully bring the center of the spring out for a better contact. Be careful, it's fragile and you don't want it out too far making it difficult to insert your battery.
