Battery complaint / random lockups


RonM

Recommended Posts

First, let me give a MASSIVE thumbs down for the battery compartment design.  Any battery removal that requires a flat blade screwdriver or similar tool is poorly designed. The batteries won’t shake out and you can’t get your fingers to the position to pop them out (maybe if you have long nails?). Terrible design.

 

Why is this important to me? My remote keeps locking up. Like daily. I have been removing and reinserting the batteries to wake it up and then it works great again, but battery removal is major surgery.  I’m going to try replacing the batteries with a fresh pair to see if this solves the lockups, but for the next design iteration, make battery removal easier.  Please.

What do you mean by lock up?

Ok, new batteries did NOT fix it.  What do I mean?  Twice today it just goes dead. No response to any keypress.  Nothing.  Out to lunch. To wake it, it requires pulling a battery and reinserting it.  

I have posted a new beta firmware here: 

Please try that and let me know.
