I Need to buy an IR replacement, could you please help me?

it is strange to me that you says it has a TX IR Diode, when the remote can also receive IR to "clone" the Signal from another remote.

thanks

Hello,

I lost my usb dongle. Is there a way to pair it to a new one or do i have to buy a new remote ?

I have the same problem! But mine just broke a very tiny crystal oscillator and I have no hope to find the right specs so I can buy another one.

Can we replace battery? Thank you for your answer.

Yes you can, order a 500mAh 3.7V rechargeable battery to replace. Just make sure to buy the right size (measure it after open)

Thanks!! I was wondering how to get the darn thing open to try to replace a dead battery.
