Has anyone found a compatible remote to replace this POS?
911732
I'm using a generic iphone app. The original one that came with the TV melted the batteries and almost caused a fire! Samsung replaced it with a new one even though I explained to them that my remote control is not an isolated case and that so many existing owners are complaining about these remote controls, depleting batteries causing them to explode. But they insisted that the one they send will be function properly. Guess what, I put new batteries in the POS and sure enough the batteries died the next day. I took that thing and kept it in case one day enough pressure is put on Samsung to issue a recall of this dangerous POS.

The unhappy answer is NO. I have determined that if you take the batteries completely out of the remote after use, it works like a charm...takes 1 minute to"upload" when you put batteries back in...small price to pay!

I answered before. There were some mistakes in answer. Shortening the previous answer - Use Samsung AA59-00442A. It is working very reliably for 99% of functions I need. The POS Chews the batteries. Unreliable. Who cares for that typewriter in the back. It does not work well anyway. Samsung should recall and give refund to those who had Qwerty remote in the past.

Yes! Just for a simple and straightforward Samsung AA59-0042A. The Samsung QWERTY remote chooses batteries away and is unreliable. The simple replacement I bought is still working the original batteries, easier to operate and good for 99% of the functions I need. Who cares for the typewriter in the back when it is not reliable. Samsung should send complimentary refunds or some replacement remotes to the customers who had or bought the Qwerty remote.

There is no compatible remote.I've gone through 2 of these remotes, so far and BOTH have fried / melted / exploded the batteries with very minimal use. It's ridiculous and so is Samsung's response that it is not an issue!

I have no idea how to replace a lost remote, but I need another remote also. I dropped mine and now I can't recharge it because the internal plug broke loose. If you find out how to get another remote let me know.

I am really not sure where to get a replacement remote but here is their website with a list of all numbers along with a support site: http://www.energy-speakers.com/support/

You can buy one here: http://www.newremotecontrol.com/magnavox/catalog_item.php?catnum=NF801UD Though just about any universal remote will work.

No. But maybe you could send the model number of your remote so I can order one. Thank you.

I use the Philips remote that came with the unit. Haven't tried any others. Hope this helps.

Good luck, I could not find ones that worked when I searched around. The only way I was able to set up another remote on this terrible unit, was through auto scan on my cable providers remote control.

Yes, I tried pushing the MENU button to no avail. I have tried all the buttons without success. I have located someone who is willing to sell me their Remote. I will probably take them up on their offer. Thanks for our suggestion

Contact Remotes & Keys. They can send you one for $70 and then find a local locksmith to program for another $50

Try flipping the battery over! I had mine in upside down! Otherwise call the company. My sister got a replacement remote for a different product from them.

That's always a possibility, Desiree, but also likely that Phillips will bring another remote that yours will still be compatible with, I'd contact customer service at Phillips and ask them direct.

I am not. But one of the GREAT things about Harmony is you can call Tech Support, talk to a live person in North America and they'll tell you if you can. If you can they'll walk you through doing it. I've had Harmony remotes for a long time. I can still talk to someone in support about a 10 year old remote. FANTASTIC company and support

I found the buttons on the remote somewhat difficult to press and get a response. Also, you must get close and be absolutely direct, straight on, in pointing it. If it still doesn't work, contact the company. They have very good support and if they can't help you, will most certainly replace it.

I haven't owned this remote for awhile (I have a new camera), but I think if you look at the battery, it's a large button type and will have a number on it. I believe if you take the battery to a place like Walmart or Target you can easily get a replacement for it at the jewelry counter or in the electronics section. If that fails, try a battery store like Interstate Batteries or Batteries+.

I emailed orders@aetetek.net when i needed to order a new remote. They were helpful. You can ask them if there is a way to reset.
