Hi,

I am a newbie to this forum, although I have membership of a couple of others.
The problem I have is that my Eurovox Max 2006 model no longer reacts to the remote control - I have tried a couple of remotes without success - can anyone suggest a fix?

(the remotes all work with my mates box)

Have you checked to see if the remote IR sensor is loose inside the EV?

crimbo31258 · 21-12-07, 11:02 PM

Thanks for this.

The sensor appears to be okay.

The remote failed after a power scan - any other suggestions would be appreciated.

A mate of mine had the same problem, no response from the remote !! when I checked it one of the rubber buttons had stuck in, when I released it everything was ok...!!

Just a thought, it might be that

The middle green light is not on - all I get is the box displaying 4 zeros '0000', and a message on screen that says 'channel currently not available'.

Hi guys,

I had (still have) the same problem as you are having. I concluded it is the IR sensor (see my posts in forum problems with eurovox max ) and unsoldered it. But could not determine what frequency it operated on and so not fixed the problem yet. Using the box upstairs (as a spare) and changing the channels manually. Bit of a pain when you have over 200 channels.

Have been looking for the front panel to buy or somebody to suggest which IR sensor I need.

Hi there i also had the same problem with remote not working, changed batteries to start with but still not working, took about half an hour messing about before I noticed one of the rubber buttons had become stuck down.

On releasing it just by flicking it out with my finger nail all started to work as normal again.
