Logitech Harmony 659 LCD Remote Control - Answered Questions & Fixed issues

Maybe your using relatively cheap batteries with a low capacity.

I would try GP powerbank batteries or simular with charger with a high capacity like GP 2300. If it still drain quickly there is something wrong with your remote.

1) you must open the r.control, and clean the keypads switch contacts from oxide, dirty, corrosion.2) remember this switch work in matrix design, that send signa infrared to the microcontroller from devide, if the signal is not ok the device will not work , since the microcontroller will NOT interprete any signal, and consequently BAD signal will not Work for the CPU.God bless you

Try to locate the tab on the top of the remote. Push in the tab to release battery cover.

Hope this helps.

Hi. System 1 error means that something on the motherboard of the remote has become de-attached. I would call Logitech if I were you.

System error 1 is a memory failure. You'll have to take the remote back to the tore for an exchange.

It will show the user manual for your remote!

I wish there was a low cost solution to your broken display. However, the cost to repair will run more than a new remote.
I would recomend the Harmony 510 for a replacement.

With many electroics these days, it is cheaper to replace than repair.
Good Luck
I hope this helps.

Call Harmony support. I have the same thing with Harmony 670 and they said it is a hardware error. No fix that I have been able to find. If it is under warranty they will replace it. If not, I don't know what it would cost to repair.

mine had the same thing, I called tech support and they're sending me a 670 in exchange. They said that it would need to go in for warranty and since they've discontinued it, I get a new one!

In the screen display only appear the next commentary "upgrade firware succsesfully", but the remote control doesn't make another activity

Try sending a mail to the support site of logitech and explain this problem. I think they have to reset your account if i understan correctly if this is your problem
at this link you can download your software.
