Billfo Posted April 6, 2008 Share Posted April 6, 2008 Hi, My girlfriend 'misplaced' my DVD player remote control while I was back home and now I can only watch VCDs or DVDs that only require me to press play as I can't navigate menus without the remote! We've asked at different places but nobody seems to know where we can buy a replacement remote. It's an LG DVD player if thats of any difference. Any help would be appreciated, I want to watch DVDs again!! Cheers! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cmsally Posted April 6, 2008 Share Posted April 6, 2008 My husband bought new remote for TV, at Carrefour - bottom level at a shop/stall selling electrical goods and bits and pieces. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
whatsupdoc Posted April 6, 2008 Share Posted April 6, 2008 any shop of the Amorn chain. In Chiang Mai there is one at Computer Plaza (North-West corner of the moat) or at the new BigC (Hang Dong Road) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tigerbeer Posted April 6, 2008 Share Posted April 6, 2008 make sure you remember exactly how your remote control looks like. also most probably you would head out to the Amorn chain. When you do find something thats exactly your remote or close to it, make sure you tell them that you are not sure and they would issue you a receipt that explains its being "borrowed for 3 days". tell them you would bring it back if it does not work with your electrical unit. i made a mistake of buying a remote from Amorn and thought it should work. it didn't work and they did not allow me to exchange it for anything else. forget about getting a refund at Amorn.

meadish_sweetball Posted April 6, 2008 Share Posted April 6, 2008 Here's a roundabout way if you cannot find separate remotes for sale: Buy a universal remote. Then borrow a remote that comes with the unit itself from a shop that still sells your player, against suitable deposit, then use that to program the universal remote with.

BigSnake Posted April 6, 2008 Share Posted April 6, 2008 I bought a Samsung from a local repair dealer., He had many for sale. Good luck, check around at some of the local supply shops. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fantasteak Posted April 6, 2008 Share Posted April 6, 2008 Have you looked down the back of the sofa? If its not there you should find that any LG DVD remote will work with your DVD player. This is the case with many companys. If you can borrow one from a friend check it out. I use to have a digital remote watch that had the different codes for all the top brands. I could turn off or over any TV, DVD player or stereo that I was near. Use to annoy the hel_l out of people. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tywais Posted April 7, 2008 Share Posted April 7, 2008 I asked my wife to pick up a UBC Remote control and she found a place with a variety of remotes at the Warrarot Market area. Believe somewhere inside the main building, sorry no better directions then that. They told her if it didn't work she could return it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just asked the wife for more specific details. She says it is right on the road to Warrot Market on the left side right across from a 7-11 just before the big market area. Also she says it opens from 8:00PM to 12:00PM after the flower markets pack up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rixalex Posted April 9, 2008 Share Posted April 9, 2008 On a related subject... i had the remote for my Mitsubishi air conditioner go astray a while ago. Just your average 13,000 BTU Heavy Duty machine that you see everywhere. Anyway, having tried several different universal remotes with no success, i enquired what the cost would be to order one from Mitsu and was shocked to learn they are between 3 and 4 thousand baht. Stupid money. The problem is these days a lot of electronic devices rely on you having the remote, which leaves you out to sea when they go missing.

Mapguy Posted April 9, 2008 Share Posted April 9, 2008 Hi,My girlfriend 'misplaced' my DVD player remote control while I was back home and now I can only watch VCDs or DVDs that only require me to press play as I can't navigate menus without the remote! We've asked at different places but nobody seems to know where we can buy a replacement remote. It's an LG DVD player if thats of any difference. Any help would be appreciated, I want to watch DVDs again!! Cheers! Forget the remote! Get a new girlfriend! Then you won't need to watch TV or movies!
