Just an update... I have come to believe that a showcenter remote should be placed in a museum or the like, as they appear to be part of an extinct / dying species. There are none anywhere, and both UK and USA sellers refuse to send, even if you win a bid. I always ask, none volunteer. The Harmony works, but it's a *** of a battle...may well ...

You know, all this time I have been searching ebay in Australia, UK and USA, and in that time there has been no original remotes for sale !! I have even contacted some people overseas on ebay, to ask if I was the winning bidder on a whole unit, would they just send the remote, and they can keep the main unit..people say no, they are not prepared ...

Hi, Sorry for the late update on this..had some health issues. My mate has done all new caps and voltage regulator, but the item still won't power up. He is going to keep exploring it, as time allows him to do so. Again...sorry for delayed response.

For your info only, this a photo of the reverse side http://img806.imageshack.us/i/img0756w.jpg/

Thank you kind sir...I will relay this information to my mate whom is going to try to undertake the repair Again...THANKS

Hello, Can anyone advise if this blown power supply looks as if it is a caps issue as well? When I look at the caps they appear ok, and the damage appears next to a heatsink or something. I do have a friend that will be looking at this second unit, but wanted your advices, if any. Thanks [click to view image]

Just got a message from Harmony... ''Thank you for contacting Logitech Customer Care about your Harmony Remote The ''C/N'' key is already in our database, and I have assigned it to the ''E'' key (bottom right to the 0 key) on your H300. Please sync your remote and test it out.'' I haven't sync yet, but will give it a go over the next day ...

Thanks.. bittman has provided me with some wonderfull assistance. Thanks mate.

Many many thanks for your reply...I have also been away from the pc as well, I will pm you Thanks

Two complete days of google search for news on a replacement remote, and not one hit to show what to do if you don't have one to learn from....amazing? There's likely to be information somewhere, I just haven't struck it yet!
