    Lost christmas tree remote

    I have a rgb "holiday symphony" 600 led tree that I got for free but it has no remote which basically neuters the tree with just one color option and no music. The original remote is as 433.96 mhz rf remote. Here is the fcc link: https://fccid.io/2APJZ-PDT0093V.

    The manufacturer is Polygroup and are absolutely no help. As they offer no replacements to the most easily lost part. All they gave me was the model number of the remote and said google it and good luck. Of course nobody is selling them. Anyways I provided pictures of the reciever motherboard along with the rgb controller daughter board.

    My question is if there is anything I can do to program a new remote or add a manual button? I see that both the motherboard and daughter board have unpopulated "flash socket" connectors.

      Re: Lost christmas tree remote

      Probably the effort needed to reverse engineer a new remote would exceed cost of buying another set... looks like everything is embedded in the remote logic/firmware.

      Buy another one, copy remote, refund?

          i would touch the right chip with a damp finger to see if i can get it to change to something i like . but that's just me before it gets thrown into the spares bin .

              I have looked at this solution but nobody sells them that has a respectable return system. All that do are out of stock.

                  By "right chip" do you mean guess which one and short two pins on it?

                      I looked at the Polygroup CW001 manual and it has a wireless and a wired option. So I don’t think they make different boards for that. The remote and the corded option seem to have only one button to operate? If yours came with both, the remote and the corded option with the button, I don’t think the remote does anything different what the corded button does.

                      Your pictures I see a 24v GND and a TX pin? Where does that TX pin go? I guess it would help to see how this is supposed to look wired all up.

                          This tree is not the cw001 unfortunately. The manual is here: https://usermanual.wiki/m/55285c14cf...b6d2e5a3e6_pdf

                          The tx line goes into the daughter board on one end and then other tx or data lines go out the other end.

                          Wonder if there is a way to just hook a different controller to the existing led lights? They are rgb lights but arent "pixel" type.

                              Yeah… I’d put a different controller on that if you can’t find a remote.

                                      by cstout
                                      Hello all, I've been looking into this portable air conditioner's remote control and can't find what could be causing the problem - or possibly this remote is just terribly designed.

                                      The remote only works at exactly 3V - if I drop it any lower, using my bench power supply, to say, 2.9V then the remote will not flash the display and turn off. I don't have any AAA batteries that are exactly 1.5V each so I'm not sure if this remote is designed this way - to only use the freshest possible batteries, or if there's a failed component in the mix.

                                      I can't find any schematics...

                                      Hello everyone,

                                      I was wondering if anyone could help my in pairing a remote with a Toshiba fire tv?
                                      The Tv model number is: 50lf711u20 Rev B.


                                      I've already replaced all the the circuit boards within the tv along with the I.R. sensor receiver.

                                      I've tried 3 different remotes which should be fully compatible with this TV.


                                      Oddly enough. A few if the buttons on all of the remotes actually work. Even without pairing...which makes no sense.

                                      The power button, along with the volume,back,select, and directional...

                                      by edugimeno
                                      Hi! I have this TV set that does the following:
                                      1) I press the red power button on the remote
                                      2) The TV turns on normally
                                      3) After that it won't take any other command from the remote, neither power off, volume, channel, NOTHING
                                      4) We need to either pull the main cable or use the built in button at the bottom to select funcion OFF

                                      Then after it's off, it would again accept the TURN ON from the remote and same again

                                      BUT:
                                      -The remote does show the correct IR beam while observed thru a phone camera
                                      -The TV works fine while using the MiRemote...

                                      Pioneer VSX-522-K remote control not working???
                                      by tmhobadcap
                                      I have this receiver for at least 10 years. Usually, we just use the remote for turning on/off and adjusting the volume. Recently, the remote control started not able to turn the receiver on. Later, the volume also could not be adjusted by the remote control.

                                      At first, I thought that it was the usual problem which can be fixed by cleaning the contacts on the switches and the pcb. I opened the remote and clean it with alcohol. The remote did work again after that. But after one day, it did not work again. I opened it again and clean with alcohol and contact cleaner. Again it worked...

                                      Hi,
                                      I have this TV a small 20 inch that works perfectly except for the IR has stopped. I have confirmed that the remote control is fine and tried an alternative and even tried with IR blaster from phone. Remote 100% ok.

                                      Tried installing latest firmware but no change.

                                      TV won't respond to remote at all, not even to bring it out of standby. I have to use the touch sensitive front panel to operate, at which point TV is usable albeit with no remote.

                                      Tried replacing the IR receiver diode/bulb on front panel and no change so put the old one back. After tracing...
