Windows MCE Remote Control Problem – suddenly stopped working . HELP! [windows media center] [windows media center edition]
Q: I have Windows Media Center Edition and a remote control (Microsoft) I have used without a single problem for almost a year now. All of a sudden yesterday the remote stops working, what is it? Noe of the buttons respond Ive tried changing the batteries in the remote and changing the USB connection on the receiver (red light blinks once when reconnected). Does anyone know why this happens? How can I solve this?
Re:Yeah, this is a frequent problem. Taking the batteries out for 30 minutes usually fixes it.
Re:There have been quite a number of reports of MS MCE remotes just up and dying. Run a search at thegreenbutton.com (best of the MCE forums I know of).
Re:I don't recall ever installing any program/driver for the remote?
Does anyone have info as to how to go about contacting them? MS makes it almost impossible to find conact info on their website. BTW, I'm in Canada.
Re:hmm. this thing could just be as simple as updating the software/drivers, or uninstalling then reinstalling the software or windows..
i think its still under warranty, their tech support would actually give more accurate advice than me, if its under warranty, its possible one of them went bad and you could have it replaced..
Re:did not drop or break it. path is clear.
Re:its just the remote? did it get dropped or something and break? what about signal, is there a clear path between the two?
