Lol

one of the lines when it boots up should say failed. The real reason for this and some of the quirks with urc is that the programmers/engineers are Korean and some time things translate differently between languages.

I don't understand the battery issue, as this thing was actually an MX900 without numeric buttons, and the batteries in the MX900 hold up pretty darn well.


I have one as well. It's been in a drawer for there or four years now.


Holds the bottom of the drawer in place. ;-)

Right, except this one had different button and screen lighting, with three different colored LEDs that could be blended in any proportion for a variety of colors. When the battery issues arose, they recommended just using a single LED color to conserve batteries. Helped a little. Still wished they had figured out how to fix it.

Some of the MX900's chewed through batteries like a porn star's vibrator. I've had more than one customer ask if I had stock in Duracell after selling them a 900

Yeah, the MX-900 isn't that great on battery life either. In fact, URC remotes in general are rather hard on alkaline batteries. I recently bought a wad of quality NiMH AAA cells to replace them. After a couple discharge cycles, even with the lower voltage they seem to last about as long as the alkalines ever did.
