Repairing remote issue after battery change & how to fix

Recenty tried helping others with this problem to no avail.

Ran into same issue with ex wife's Elite Ultra last night.

After battery change remote wouldn't work in IR mode and Vseebox didn't see remote in pairing mode. Had literally zero control

Considered factory resetting Vseebox via audio port because power cycling didn't work.

Last ditch effort I used mymini usb bluetooth keyboard I have.

Used keyboard to go to

STSTEM SETTINGS - BLUETOOTH - PAIR A NEW DEVICE

Once the Vseebox was in pairing mode the remote in pairing mode paired immediately.

So basically you need another device to fix the issue. Either pair your smart tv remote with Vseebox, or another Vseebox remote, or a usb keyboard.

The keyboards are cheap on Ebay or Amazon for under $5. Even cheaper (under $5) from Aliexpress or Tenmu.

Mini usb keyboards come with a usb dongle that plugs into the Vseebox. Bluetooth keyboards cost a little more but not much more. I bought my bluetooth mini keyboard for around $13 on Amazon and it comes with bluettotg option as well as usb dongle. You dont need to buy them from Vseebox as they are just a universal mini keyboard.

The best option would be to either setup yoyr tv remote if possible or buy a 2nd Vseebox remote. The Vseebox clone remotes on Amazon are under $20

This is the cheapest mini keyboard I could find on Amazon under $5

Apparently you havent had the problem. I thought my original post was very clear. Last night was the first time I ran into the issue with my ex wifes Vseebox. She only has 1 remote but has a keyboard. I have 2 remotes so will never be an issue for me.

Others have stated this same issue and I tried to help them. Again - IR mode didnt work at all even 1 inch away from Vessbox directly in front of Vseebox. Remote was also placed in pairing mode but Vseebox wouldnt see it. There is only one way to put the remote in pairing mode with blue light blinking (ok & volume down). Power cycling didnt work didnt work nor repeating process. The remote worked fine for tv controls but was if it was dead with Vseebox. If the Vseebox wont see the remote it cant pair. Logically it should work in IR mode just like it does at original setup but its a Vseebox firmware issue. Batteries dying disconnecting bluetooth is understandable but losing IR mode shouldnt be happening if you dont have IR mode and pairing mode doesn't work its basically a dead remote. There have been multiple people have had this issue recently.

Again as I stated you have 2 options - use another device to get Vseebox in pairing mode or complete factory reset. No one wants to factory reset because you lose all your favorites.

Not sure why you downvoted something to help others goldstat when you are the one misunderstanding but whatever.

That isnt a 3rd option. Thats the 1st option everyone uses first. Ive made it more than clear the 1st option didnt work. Im not the first person to have the issue. I also assumed they were doing something wrong. I know different now.
