Windows 7 doesn't recognize remote
Do you have the software disc for the remote? If not, go to the Logitech website and download it for your model. You might need drivers from the program to work with Win 7. I'm running mine without any problem.
How do you replace the Infrared LED's in a Harmony 550 Remote?
To replace it you have to open your remote control. As you can see, it is located at the front of the remote control. In most cases, the fault occurs to this is a loose solder terminal at its connection to inside printed circuit board. Just check this, before you replace it. Failure to this infrared LED is rare. Normal cause will be as said above. If a resoldering do not help you, replace it. It is a cheap to buy component, and can be bought from most of the electronic spare part shops at your town.

Activities Button Does Not Work
I had the same problem so I pulled my remote apart. The remote has two types of switches - little button mechanical switches and surface contact switches. The activities button is a mechanical button switch that has a small domed piece of metal that goes over concentric rings on the circuit board. this is all under a sticky white piece of insulating sheet. I carefully pulled up the white sheet and cleaned the contacts on the board and on the circuit board. I put it all back to gether and the switch now works fine. Very delicate work but that is the only way to fix the problem.
The remote window just displays Harmony Safe
All this means is that there is something going on in the firmware and it needs to be repplied. The following steps will help you get the remote working again.
1- Launch the software and log in to your account.
2- Click on 'Downloads' at the top of the screen.
3- Click 'Firmware' and follow the steps to update the firmware on the remote.
4- Update your remote.
Remote stays lighted
Remove the batteries first and then reinstall--If remote stays lit it will run them down etc. either there is a slide switch on the side of the remote or something got spilled on remote and got inside(easy to do and not even know you did it).In that case someone will need to take the remote apart--if you get it apart I can tell you what to look for and how to clean it to resolve this issue.If you are not able to take the remote safely apart then you are going to have to buy a new original remote.......Since if left with batteries in it will run them down quickly not much to lose taking it apart.SD TECH
Still can't find a code for Electron LCDTV
You have joined the ranks of those who have several 'universal' remotes.
They aren't. They are, at best, multidevice or multibrand remotes and even the 'learning' remotes don't learn from some originals.
The use of the word 'universal' is a fraudulent nomenclature.
In looking at the product description, I noticed this:
"
The DRC450 remote control is designed specifically to work with all Motorola and General Instrument Digital Cable Terminals."
It was then never designed to handle any updating.
You might try to obtain newer codes from the Motorola site for your model:
Motorola DRC-450
I didn't see any provisions for updating the code set via computer so it will likely never do what you want.
I changed the batteries (as remote
Hi. To get your remote out of safe mode, all you need to do is update the firmware. To do this, log in to the Harmony Remote Software, click "Downloads" at the top of the screen then click "Firmware." If you do not have the software installed on your computer, you can download it at http://logitech.com/myharmony.

MY REMOTE DISPLAY STAYS BLANK
My advice is to call Logitech. They may replace the remote or give you a discount on a new remote. The LCD screens on these remotes have been known to fail, and it's a hardware issue so there is not really much you can do to fix it.
Ok, my remote control for
Hello,
Common faults are: some buttons not working, not working at all, corroded battery terminals. Often buttons are sticky because of some dirt accumulated over the years from the sticky little hands of your kids?
The hardest part of repair is often to open the covers. You do not need much experience in electronics repair to repair a remote. Also it is perfectly safe as there is no way to get an electric shock as they work with batteries.
step 1Test your remote with Digital Camera
Check your batteries first or buy new batteries. Once you have good batteries, you can test with a digital camera by pushing the buttons and having camera on and pointing to the infrared led. You should see red light if the remote is working. If no light comes up you obviously have a dead remote but do not despair and procede to the next step
step 2Open the remote control but there is a catch or a few catches.
Remove the screws if any. Sometimes screws may be hidden under a sticker or rubber feet. Often there are no screws at all but just plastic catches hidden so you have to be clever to open it without breaking the case. Use something blunt and flat toclick the covers open. This is often a challenge but should not be too difficult.
step 3Take a picture of every phase so you remember how to re-assemble
Since you are using a digital camera you might as well take pictures of the disassembly so re-assemly will be easier.
step 4Pull everything apart
Did you take a picture of the keyppad layout? Sometimes keypad is just one rubber membrane but sometimes the keys fall away like pieces of a Lego puzzle. And if the buttons are marked with numbers and functions you may struggle to re-assemble them in right order? Use a small plastic takeaway box or similar to store the bits so you don't lose parts.
step 5Inspect the circuit board and repair dry joints
Remotes are often dropped on the floor and may develope dry joints on the battery contacts or circuit board. Inspect the contacts and circuit board under good light with a magnifying lense or if lucky you might have a microscope or just a very good eyesight? Solder all suspicious joints. If there is a sign of water damage you can use methylated spirits and toothbrush to...
step 6Wash the covers and the buttons
Use a smal bowl or similar to wash and contain all the parts so you don't lose bits down the drain. Use old toothbrush to clean all button holes and buttons. Warm water with dishwash liquid does the job. Take particular care with those small buttons and clean them properly. If you can leave the bits to soak overnight they come clean easy. Ultrasonic cleaner would be goo...
step 7Rinse, drain and dry the parts
Rinse with warm water. Use a drainer to contain all the parts without losing small bits down the drain. As extra security use sink plug. Dry with a paper towel. Wipe the buttons dry individually as they may still have some dirt which makes them sticky when in use.
step 8Repair case and re-assemble
If there is damage to the case or buttons you need to do the required repairs. Use hot glue or super glue depending on fault. Let dry overnight if you had to glue something. Re-assemble bits in reverse order and make sure you have the buttons in right place and right way around. Small nicks and dents on plastic cover can often be repaired by heating carefully with a h...
step 9Test with Digital Camera
Test every button as before. Sometimes you have to push two remote buttons simultaneously . Once you have completed test with your camera you can use the remote.
That's it, I hope you got it going again
