Remote quit working, even with battery change.

Got this for my 2 year old for Christmas. The remote stopped working a little more than a week later. The light won't go on and the buttons can no longer be pushed down, even after I changed the batteries in the remote. It's very disappointing, because the kids love it.

Ran into issues getting it wired to a 12v battery to find that the remote or the sensor does not work.

Lately, the remote has failed.  It won't turn all components on, and when it finally does, the remote reboots, and will not function until I turn everything off, then on again with the remote.  Then it reboots again.  That's what I get for purchasing refurb.

4 months and the remote stopped working. Lined everything up on the counter, tried new batteries... nothing helped... :-(

I had the for about a month and they worked just fine. Now I can not get the remote to work and I even changed the battery. Very disappointing.

I received the camera with a dead coin battery in the remote, even though the plastic strip was still intact.  I bought a new battery, installed it, and the remote worked fine. I also fitted the camera with new batteries for the main body.  Four days later after having the camera set up outside, and retrieving the memory card once in between, the remote battery was once again dead.  At that time the main battery pack showed half depleted on the built in battery sensor.  The remote has a place to keep it inside the body of the camera ... somewhat necessary since all controls except the power switch are only in the remote.

In addition, the main power slide switch on the camera worked inconsistently.  Moving it from the 'off' position to the 'setup' position worked almost every time.  Moving it from the 'off' position to the 'on' position (through the 'setup' position but without stopping there) never worked for me.  If I stopped at the 'setup' position (powers up the monitor) before moving to the 'on' position it worked about half of the time.  Occasionally it would take three or four tries to get it to go to the on position and activate the blinking LED indicator letting you know it was ready for use.

During those three days a herd of elk visited one evening, stayed overnight and left in the morning.

The pictures taken in daylight I considered very good as shown in the photos I added. The video also worked well during the daylight hours.  The pictures/video taken at night were unusable.  I could barely discern the ground several feet in front of the camera and even at that close distance and after enhancing the images nothing was visible past the first three feet.  The night time LEDS were not visible the first night I set the camera up (this was without the remote, so it was set to whatever default setting came from the factory and I could not change them) inside my kitchen, even when looking at it with the lights out and my face within a foot of the camera.  Yet it took a couple pics of my face that were lit up quite bright.

Compared to two other trail cams I've used for a couple of years (Bushnell), this one had as good or better pictures during daylight hours.  But I decided it had enough unrelated problems to warrant a return, which was accomplished without incident.  My main concerns were battery life (other cams main batteries usually last at least several months for me, which seemed a stretch for this camera as it showed half depleted after just a few days), faulty remote (DOA and kills the coin battery within a few days) and poor picture quality at night when most of my pics are usually taken. Note that given the battery problems I did not experiment with other resolutions/settings to determine if main battery life and quality of images at night were consistent.

Remote wouldn't work. Will buy a new battery to hopefully fix the problem, but not crossing my fingers. Was disappointed.  REVISION:  Company contacted me and corrected the problem to my complete satisfaction.  Their dedication to customer service is exemplary.

Remote stopped working after 3 months. After contacting the manufacturer, they said it would cost $85 to replace.... look elsewhere for a more reliable system/company

The battery life is  a shame. The need to update the remote so it stops consuming battery even when not in use

remote (or the receiver in the bulb) lasted less than 15 minutes.  A new battery in the remote did nothing.

Manual poorly written.  No battery for remote, no info on battery found in manual on on remote.

I purchased this device on August 13th 2010, less than 90 days ago and it quit working.  The remote will no longer turn the unit On or Off.  The battery is good and I see the green LED, which according to the instructions means the power has changed states, but it has not. And, RF Channel dip switches have been verified.  I could have bought a normal strip outlet for a fraction of the price, but was trying to be green.  The only green was the money I threw away on this device, as AMAZON won't take it back now as they only have a 45 day return policy.

One night I was turning on the SLEEP TIMER on the remote and it didn't work.  No menu, no power off ??? Checked the remote and the batteries were totally corroded.  I mean corroded to the extent they had almost popped the cover off.  Cleaned it up and put in new batteries and still nothing.  So figured it was fried.

Ordered the new remote, and inadvertently ordered 2 instead of 1 and when it arrived I immediately put in the batteries and NOTHING.  Now I was very p...sed.  Couldn't figure out what the problem was.  Brand new remote.  Brand new batteries.  Well I had another remote that did work, so I removed those batteries and low and behold the new remote worked.  So did the old one.

My Brand New sleeve of AAA batteries from Costco were defective.  Brand new sleeve, just opened.  NONE OF THEM WORKED.  Was so angry.

So now I have 2 new remotes, just in case something happens in the future.  BE PREPARED!!!!!

I guess the remotes are good but can't really say.

This item worked fine for about six months.  Then, the remote started to work very strangely.  The play button would change tracks.  The stop button would sometimes change the volume and sometimes turn the bass on and off.  The bass button did nothing.  The rewind and fast-forward buttons selected random tracks, rather than going back one track or forward one track.  To me, the remote is a very important part of this walkman, especially on the go.  I don't want to dig into the belt where my player is and fool around with it every time I need to.  And now, the remote doesn't work at all.  The same problem happened with the previous player I had, which is the same product.  But that one had a longer life span.

Other than the remote, the player works fine.  The sound is good, but I don't know about the radio, since I don't listen to the radio.  But overall, if you rely on the remote, look for a different player.

This remote worked great for the first 30 days.  On day 32 it just stopped working.  I changed the batteries, and still did not work.  I was going to return it, thinking perhaps this was just defective, but there is a 30 ONLY return policy.  It's a great price for a remote, until it only lasts a month.
