Testing a Remote with the SD15
4

One of our Frigidaire A/C remotes stopped working. We put in a fresh battery - still not working.

So, out with the SD15 with no "dust cover" in the lens mount ... therefore, it sees near-IR radiation ... snappity snap.

Voila, bad one at left ...

Problem solved ... off to ebay we go ...

Ta.

Two used remotes on order as we speak. Wife will no longer have to walk that grueling 10 feet to the window-mounted A/C ...
