All refurbished remotes we offer have not needed to be repaired. All we do to refurbish them is: test them, clean them & repackage them. Refurbished remotes could include open boxed or loose remotes that we have acquired without their packaging, product returns, or simply new remotes with scuffs or scratches on them, to where they do not look new anymore. All our refurbished remotes have the same warranty period as our new remotes and are guaranteed to work like new. Refurbished remotes may show some signs of use, scratches or scuffs.

Remote control specific questions

No, unless the remote you are purchasing is stated to be a "universal," then maybe. Please read the description for the product in question. If we replace your original equipment remote with a substitute remote, you will not have to program it. We will only substitute remotes that we know will work for your unit by simply installing the batteries. If you want to make sure, you can always call us at 1-877-671-7173 or EMAIL.

Many reasons could result in your remote not working with your unit, some of them are:
• Batteries are not working and not installed correctly
• Try rolling the batteries inside the battery compartment. This sometimes works as the springs are not making a good connection to the batteries.
• Remote may not be compatible with your equipment. Most likely if you purchased it from us, it is compatible.
• Make sure your remote does not need programming. It shouldn't unless we specified that it was a universal remote.
• Remote needs to be paired with your TV. Please refer to your TV's operating manual for instructions.
• Your Unit's Infra-red receiving diode has gone bad. This is usually the case with older TVs and VCRs.
• Your remote is broke. This could be possible if the shipping company was not careful enough when shipping it. We always test the remotes and make sure they are working before they leave our facility • Please also refer to our "Product Description" area on our product detail page for the remote to see if there are any special instructions.

Because most of the remotes are original equipment remotes, all instructions for the remote is located in the owners manual of your unit. If you do not have the manual of the unit, find your model number of your TV (DVD player, etc.) and search our site for it. If we have it, it will show and all information about the remote (including codes) will be located in the owner's manual.

Yes. Please go to our Repair Page and we will step you through the repair process.

If your battery door is hard to find or you do not know how to remove it, please locate the operating manual for that remote, or if the remote originally came with a unit (i.e. TV), then you must locate your TV's operating manual. Inside the manual will be instructions and pictures on how to remove the battery door and change the batteries. Click here to see animated images on how to remove the battery door.
