How difficult is it to take the "insides" out of the old remote and drop them into the new remote casing?

it's really no problem at all. the buttons can be a little aggravating because they are just loose until you get it back together. pretty much just pop the board out of your old one and pop it into the new.

Not hard at all. I used a smallish, flat-head screwdriver to pry it open with very little trouble. There should be a little quarter-inch gap on the bottom (closest to the hole for your key ring) where you can wedge the screwdriver in. Then just keep wiggling it up and down til it pops open. Then you grab the inside mechanism, pop it into the new casing and click it closed. Hope this is helpful.

I took it to a Hitachi service guy. Basically he took it all apart and forced it on. There must be an easier way.So I would appreciate how to do it.ThanksRCR

I had the old version as well, I remember being able to take the "guts" out of the new one that I got above fairly easily and installing it into the metal box already in the ceiling. I'm not very handy so it was pretty easy to do...

I think that EVERY button can be "learned" just by pointing the old remote into the SR3 and pushing corresponding buttons on both. You can go to the Universal Remote web site and get the manual PDF

It's very easy. Just pop out the old one and pop in a new one. It's not confusing at all. Only thing that irks me about it is that you have to purchase the compact separately. Just another gimmick to get another $11 out of people.

There is no programming necessary, this is the casing only. You need to take the circuit board out of your old remote and put it into this one.

It's kind of a pain, but you can move the case enough to make it work. Just recently, I tore it off purposely and now use a micro usb rubber plug. The only problem is that it is not connected to the remote and easy to lose when you take off.

Use the same connections and swap out, replacing one for one. Be SURE to have the fuse off. This could seriously take off a finger. It's not hard to do. Get yourself a blanket, crawl under the rig and pull off the old unit. ( Be sure your rig is supported to a point that it can't come down and crush you). Outside of safety precautions, this is easy!

On my TV it wasnt too bad. There are videos on their website and on youtube that will show you what you need to do depending on your make/model of tv. I am a mechanic so I am comfortable with disassembly/reassembly of electronics. It took me an hour start to finish. I would suggest purchasing a cheap camera lens cleaning kit as there are several lenses in the light engine that will need to be cleaned. As long as everything is clean and you take your time following the online instructions it will be easy. I had never taken a tv apart before and I had no problem.

Yes, it is very easy to do. All you need is a small Philipshead screwdriver and about 12 minutes of time.

Pull out the old, put in the new. Just have to be careful with the pin alignment.

If your remote is an indentical model as the new transmitter and your receiver is the same as a new replacement, you just need a new transmitter to replace the dead remote. You would just have to set the dip switches to match your old remote.

There is nothing to program. You remove your old circuits from your old broken or worn case and put it in these. If your old remote doesn't work then this is not the one for you. It is just the case

easy, as long as you use old cable to pull new one through. Took my husband and I about an hour.

Like the other said. Also, keep the instructions that come with it handy in case you need to reprogram the remote again.

It is not difficult to disassemble it but it does take a little time. You just need to make sure that you don't lies or break the connectors.

The new key shell remote case is new outer covers (shell) and the rubber buttons. You take the old inner board and battery out of the old remote you are replacing and put it in the new case. Snap the two halves together and it should work without having to program your new remote.
