ARQ-100 remote dead

[bobo12]

Yesterday my Arq-100 remote seems to have died. The red light dimly stays on and I get no response when pressing any buttons. Does anyone know if there is a way to do a reset (a combination of button pushes) or is it truly dead.

the ARQ-100 here takes 2 AAA batteries, with one at each end :eek

I've tried everything I can think of including new batteries. I was hoping there was a way to reset it with a series of button pushes.

there is and it's been posted several times how
but if light is dim then it's a power issue
does Fn button light up when pressed?

The red light goes on dimly as soon as the batteries are installed. It doesn't go out. Nothing happens when I press any button.

red light is supposed to flash 3 times and go out when batteries are put in
look for marley's thread about resetting remote

I made that post into a Sticky thread just now, (in 3900 forum section)... I think that was the thread referred to.

good stuff
and you're welcome for being told it was an air mouse...lol

what happened there was that I had 'thought' I had discovered something that no one else had known and then posted a short tutorial about it.. I felt pretty accomplished about the whole thing too, thinking about the whole discovering thing I had done
That is when you pointed out the name, to which then it struck me.
duh

I tried all the re-pair the usb dongle and recalibrate the air mouse stuff from the manual last night and again this morning, nothing has worked. Looks like there is only a 30 day warranty.

did you take the batteries out and press buttons for several minutes before putting batteries back in?

Many times. From what I read It didn't work for Marley.

playstation air remotes have to press and hold the cursor lock button to reset the remote, for how long I do not know.
You have to remember for what ever may work, you have to first wake up the remote with any random key... then proceed with procedure.

One more thing to check, would be if there is a stuck key.
Look sideways and see if one is out of position.

If all else fails, and the warranty is expired, pop the unit apart and see if there is something evident.
*80% of electrical problems are mechanical (broken wire, bad solder joint etc).

You can get by with a mouse plugged into the USB port, until you get a replacement (Cheap $$$).
