Hey guys, I dropped my aircon remote last night, the screen is a bit cracked but it still works, can you even pay to have this screen repaired or is it just easier to buy a new one? I was roped into buying a generic aircon remote for a different aircon and it's okay but it occasionally doesn't work and it's a bit shit, thanks for reading.
If you can't just order another, you probably can't get ahold of parts for a replacement.
What eBay was made for, this
You'll score a replacement for about $15 and you are not repairing it any cheaper
All I can find on ebay are shit jap knockoffs, even though they say "genuine", the remotes have the same buttons but one button is different, is this what I have to deal with? I found one site where I could buy the exact same one but when I went to make an account and put in my details it turned out to be a scam site, it turned into a different url when you go to sign up, there's only US places even though the original site was legit.
I'm Australian.
>I'm an abbo
Well, there's your problem.
I've bought both originals and knockoffs in UK eBay with no hassle before, but was only mitsubishi I think. And tbh, there wasn't much difference between them - certainly cheap knock off is better than a busted display, and you can always return it if useless. As said tho, idk, AUS and Fuji, your choice maybe indeed more limited.
OP here, yeah, I thinks my only option is to buy a cheap knockoff, that's all that's seemingly available.
Damn man that's almost identical to mine only my buttons are translucent plastic. Batteries are going out, display is very dim.
2014 3x multisplit GARBAGE I already had to have it power washed once with that stupid AC condom that doesn't even work well and my walls are all stained now, FRICK FUSHITSU! Panasonic ACs can be disassembled and cleaned without dozens of PSI of water.
Buy a Flipper Zero. Use it to control every single infrared appliance in your life, and much more. That is what I do.
Zoomer anon, a universal remote is like 5 bucks.
You don't need to pay 180$ for one.
they can't figure out how to program a remote if there isn't le cute cat picture on the display
>being broke
lol
I reserve my money for more sensible and useful things like lighting up my cigars with 100$ bills.
The Flipper Zero controls much more than mere infrared signals. At $180 it is an incredible value for what it is capable of.
lol lmao
it only does some basic garage door frequencies and costs more than a HackRF + PortaPack
I'm sorry you wasted your money, bro. But don't make other people follow your mistakes to rationalize your own purchase.
>it only does some basic garage door frequencies and costs more than a HackRF + PortaPack
FALSE. Infrared, RFID, Sub-ghz, iButton, NFC, GPIO header, and much more. It would be best if you shut your wiener-sucker to avoid looking more foolish than you already do..
A 2 cent IR diode AND a GPIO header?
OMG that thing is worth thousands!
So what do you use it for besides an overpriced universal remote?
All kinds of things. Right now I'm playing Doom on it while watching poorgays like you whine about something they can't afford and know nothing about.
you aint being especially convincing here Flipper Zero anon. And Im not anon who was asking. $180 for a universal remote is wild - most I've paid was maybe $75 for a Logitech setup, and that only because I knew it had enough community support to give a 75% chance of it running whatever shit I pointed it at. Tho I think even they discontinued those remotes, for whatever.
Yeah, it so much more than a "universal remote" for tv's. The cognitive dissonance on this board is astonishing. People talking shit about something the no literally nothing about. Just stick to your Funko Pop collection, son.
>Yeah, it so much more than a "universal remote" for tv's.
>but I'm NOT TELLING YOU ANY, so there
k.
Look it up for yourself, or remain ignorant. Your choice. I am not here to educate you. You can't afford one anyways, so why are you on here b***hing? LMAO!!!
Jesus Frick anon, its PrepHole
you're not even coming across as being a gatekeeper here, just a clueless dickhead shilling some overpriced garbage with zero justification, despite multiple polite requests for such. No offense and all.
LMAO!!! I'm clueless???? HAHAHHAHAHAHHA!!!! You're the one that doesn't know about it and is asking for info!!!! Use the interwebz and look it up, you lazy POS.
>LMAO!!! I'm clueless????
no, you're moronic.
here be a place of civil knowledge exchange - respect it, or refrain from shilling shit you aint prepared to justify. either way we are done already, bye
Yes it can do a whole bunch of things, but what have you personally used it for?
In January of this year, I cloned an RFID badge to a pay parking deck. I've now parked there dozens of times this year for free. That alone paid for my Flipper Zero.
I have also cloned every remote in my home. I control the TVs, soundbars, ceiling fans, thermostat, and landscape lighting with it. I upgraded the firmware to Unleashed and it is awesome.
>condescending
>arrogant
>overrating some piece of shit
>justifying black hat shit for profit or paying back your equipment
its ppl like you that make the amateur radio people look like shit. do you scam old people too? loser.
not an opinion, its a fact. anyone can do what you did, its child's play with that toy. losers prey on ripping people off to justify their immature behaviour.
thats what you are, a loser. at least own it or youll only prove you are a coward too.
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHhAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!! You are still obsessing over me and my Flipper Zero??? I am living in your head RENT-FREE!!!!! get over it you broke-ass loser!!!!
no im not no flipper anon. I actually have one. i just dont use it to rip people off, then gloat about it on an anime image board like a dickless loser.
Anon, some people have less in life and must entertain themselves with the tools that they can afford. You and I may go on a vacation once in a while, and this frog anon will likely be here, doing what is shown before you.
Best to let them be, in hopes tbey too, will be able to join us.
Goodnight
Hello. What do you do with your flipper that is ethical and moral?
pen testing and security acceptance for ot systems as well as education for peers at work.
yeah logitech killed their whole product line. makes me sad.
>can you even pay to have this screen repaired
no. And if you could the shipping / labor / parts would be $150 or something.
>All I can find on ebay are shit jap knockoffs
what is wrong with this? if you maybe posted the model number or something someone might be able to help you
Cool, I can play doom on countless other things that I own. What else have you used it for?
My Xiaomi phone does it for free and I didn't even knew this at the time of the purchase.
why is "flipper" written in fricking cyrillic
The design team is Russian and Ukrainian.
Can i get one without cat pictures?
Seems cool that it can run programs. How hard is it to code for?
Estrogen-laden hands. Not a troony, just a fatty
Why tf would anyone be so cucked as to not have a physical switch + controls for their appliance.
Why are people so damn trusting of RF.
if you have any pre-S10 Samsung phones you should have an IR blaster on the top, there's a good chance you can use a universal remote app and get it set up with ur air con
>if you're a cheap bastard
lot of modern phones still have IR blasters, got a Redmi Note 10 from 2 years ago, still got one. They supply their own universal remote app (free) but i guess you could use any - there's is big on chink satellite tuners and shit and not much else, but seems to have a good aircon selection as well. And its always worth checking if manufacturer supplies an app anyway - Fuji def. have an aircon remote app (Android/Apple - DONT need IR on phone) also for free, no idea if OPs system supported tho, obv.

yeah, logi:c**ts
score a lot of obscure AV stuff, 90% -remote, and the amount of junk already in db was impressive. They should have sold Harmony etc. to someone who'd support it.
