My screenplay pro unit is not responding to my remote. I have replaced battery.

Start by replacing the batteries to your remote control and make sure there is nothing blocking the IR receiver on the unit itself. If that is blocked by something hanging on it or tape over it from something hanging on it previously.

Normally, when the light does not come on and nothing happens, it means that there's a fault connection inside the remote somewhere critical (Meaning a wire is not touching where its supposed to.)

My brother fixed several remotes, but he's an electronic whiz and used a good deal of soldering.
Give the remote a few good taps (smack it on your hand, never hit hard surfaces), and see if it makes its connection again, even for a moment.

Whether or not this is the problem, it sounds like you'll be needing a new remote. I suggest going to walmart or best buy and talking to an employee about remotes and which ones work for which televisions, and then order one for a decent price online.

Sidenote: Make sure that the batteries are in correctly.
Make sure that the springs in the battery compartment are functioning as they should and the batteries aren't sliding around, even a little.

That's all I got. Hope it helps.

Hello

you can test your remote with a mobilephone camera like this:

open camera on the phone an hold the remote front against the camera

(approx 10cm from it) press a button and look in the display on the phone.

if the controller works you should se a blue light in the display coming from the remote front.

if no light: try other batteries again note the battery polarity. no light= controller broken.

if there is light= the remote is working. try to disconnect power from the DVD for a few minutes,

and try again. if it still not works the player is propably broken.

Good Luck

Try to open the battery cover and operate the remote while moving the batteries. Observe if the remote functions while doing this step. If not, you have replace the infrared light of the remote.

Confirm that the ScreenPlay Director is correctly connected to video input on your TV set.
Make sure the ScreenPlay Director is connected to power and turned on.
Make sure you have selected the correct video input on your TV to display output from the ScreenPlay Director.
The video output setting on the ScreenPlay might not be correct for your TV. Press the TV SYS button on the remote control repeatedly until the screen displays normally.
Try on a different TV, you TV may not be supported with this device.

If the blue light continues to flash after the screen goes black, then you need to reinstall the firmware. Look at http://screenplayprohd.wikia.com for information about getting the firmware and installing it.

If the blue light goes solid after the screen goes black then you probably just need to switch the NTSC/PAL selection. Press that button on the front panel several times, waiting a few seconds inbetween in press. If it continues to be invisible, plug the drive into another TV using the composite cables instead of HDMI to confirm if the menu comes up at all. If it does, reinstall the firmware.

With a non responsive remote that would be inpossiable you need to replace the control board inside around $100 bucks then you can have a good tv again but to get to the service menu your controll has to be working.

There are 4 reasons why your unit is behaving this way:
1. Charger is the problem.
2. The docking station is the broken.
3. The battery is broken or not accepting charge.
4. The actual unit is the problem.
It is very hard to tell which one is causing this to happen.
Let us do some troubleshooting first:
1. Plug your charger in an A/C outlet and make sure the red power light (left) is lit, otherwise the charger or the docking station is broken.
2. You can test the charger with a multimeter. Unplug the charger from the docking station and measure the voltage across the outside and inside, it should register more than 5 volts DC. If there is a 5Volt DC the docking station is the problem otherwise the charger is broken.
3. If the red power light is lit and the status light (right) is lit too, your docking station is broken.
4. If the red power light is lit, dock the unit into the charger, the status light (left) should turn red when your battery is accepting charge or turn blue when your battery is fully charged.
5. If the status light will not lit at all (while the red power light is on), tap the screen while the unit is docked on the charger. If the unit will become alive, you need a new battery otherwise you need a new unit.

12 hours is very long time to charge, the status light should turn to blue in less than 2 hours especially for a new battery.
