Dell M2010 Remote - Page 17

Hi, are you still looking to sell?

If the condition of the remote is good and the receiver can work long range, I would be VERY interested!!

Currently using a Gyration media remote right now, but after one too many falls over the last 4 years it' time to get a replacement

decided to buy this model in the end:
(add ebay url)/itm/Dell-Remote-Control-IR-Blaster-NEW-FW962-/370618524164?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item564a95e204

and this:
(add ebay url)/itm/New-Dell-XPS-M2010-Wireless-Input-Output-Remote-Control-Adapter-ORC-YY993-/350563472620?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item519f3614ec

Hope these two work together! Will report when I get them.

So I got the euro version of the remote and the receiver (YY993), but the receiver came without the cable. Is there any way I can purchase something online that would connect to the receiver's 8-pin connector?

Mashakos, in the auction you posted for the receiver it clearly shows a cable; how come they didn't send one?

I am keen to buy one but I would like to know if you managed to sort this? Also they are charging $40 for shipping to the UK! $40 for a tiny circuit board? WTF are they smoking?

My original RC6 Microsoft remote is on it's way out, the Philips SRM5100 is perfect, but you can't get the programmable version (even on ebay) so I think I am going to go for the XBox 360 universal remote - it's dirt cheap, apparently works well and is backlit.

Part of me still wants that M2010 remote though....

Thanks
Kevin

I actually sent the seller an additional $40 for courier shipping, cause I thought I could get the dongle made over the weekend :s
well, I ended up getting a partial refund. It sucks that the seller that sent me the board without the cable is the only one offering the item on ebay.

So now I'm stuck. I'm looking through Dell parts and hoping to find a compatible Dell bluetooth cable connector. Would pay a hefty premium for a CX071 RF dongle though...

Well that is indeed very frustrating for you. Can you not solder directly onto the socket? I guess the traces are pretty tiny, but could be worth a try? You clearly want to get this working, so if your soldering skills aren't up to it then see if you can find (and pay) someone who is good and send it to them?

I got the xbox universal remote which looks great and mostly works great but the TV control part of it is poorly executed.

Let me know how you get on!

I'm pretty sure mouser or digikey has that connector, problem is... what is it called? You can try searching through thousands of connectors and use filters to narrow down the search.

These guys have some helpful suggestions on what to look for on digikey, but I don't have the board so can't measure them. Mashakos, over to you!

I'd just solder the wires directly to the back side of the connector. A fine soldering tip shouldn't have any problem in there.

You can also try 1pin headers. I don't know if it will be too big to fit them side by side but they are cheap enough to try.

This is such an old thread and I thought I would never be updating it... Laughs..

I have this 4 year old ebay search. It popped up recently.

http://www.ebay.com/itm/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=160820157568&ssPageName=ADME:B:SS:US:3243

These are not mine nor am I selling them but I just had to share.

Live long Old Dell M2010 and to all who have posted in this thread..

It may be old, but other than android / iphone remote for xbmc/ I still cant think of better solution to navigate HTPC.

I stil have 2 backup RH515s in a drawer.

Im sure they wont last long.

another with free shipping instead of 3 dollars.

Even cheaper with free s/h

Somone auctioned off a cache of these from Dell. Its probably past reason part restock requirmeents for dell now so they sold them all off.

I would say the remote is officially harder to reasonable find than the reciever now thanks to the stock popping up on ebay.

Does anyone remember when the remotes were $12 shipped from those texas resellers for Dell brown box parts.

I do , I think i have 3 of those remote, I bought a couple after the gyration sensor went crazy in one. It would always drift around the screen untouched.

Then about 6 months ago i think the buttons started having trouble. I found a you tube guide on repairing remotes and used a adhesive with itty bits of tin foil on top of the carbon, I tryed cleaning with alchohol first , but the contacts has been really

worn down. so the foil worked better. Remote is currently working very well, with exception i did not do that nice of a job opening it so it kinda looks marred on the right side from screw drivers. Later found out guitar pics and iphone kits work wonderful to take things like that apart. Oh well , it works and i have a few stored away for backups.

I know I got one in parts someplace. Maybe I should send you my parts. If your handy with a soldering iron..

Hi All,
I've been using Gyration remotes for my HTPC ever since 2007. The best thing ever. Especially the one that not only controls the PC, but also the TV, DVD Player, and Sat box. (GYR3101US).
I have the combo kit that came with the wireless compact keyboard and they have both been in regular use since 2007. I did have to get the remote replaced twice under warranty back when it had one due to the typical Gyro sensor going bad... (High pitched whine with uncontrollable pointer).
The one I have now has been in use since 2009. Unfortunately when Movea sold Gyration to SMK-link a couple years back, they only sold the "Air Mouse" and not the media remotes. Since then Movea has dropped all gyration support and SMK-link has nothing to do with the media remotes.
They are now completely unsupported by all companies.

All that being said, my current GYR3101US remote is finally beginning to act up.
The buttons are all well-worn from extensive use and some of them no longer respond well.

As a result, I've been pursuing a replacement. That's when I stumbled on this old thread.

As such, I lucked out and got the M2010 remote on ebay for $14.95, from the guy that usually sells them for $74.95... I think he made an error when he created the listing, because after I bought mine, he changed the price on his listing back to $74.95, but he honored my purchase price and I got the remote.

I then found the RH515, YY993 receiver for $27. I got it working (mostly) with Win 7 64 bit.. The playlist app doesn't like 64 bit, but everything else is going fine. I don't use the HTPC to play music without the TV on, so that feature really isn't required for me.

Now I have it as my back up remote. It is missing quite a few of the feature of my old GYR3101US. (Like the DVD menu button, which I use in WMC when I play DVDs from my hard drive).

When my current Gyration finally dies, I now have my go-to remote.

Thanks to all the early guys that documented everything within this thread and made it easy for me to get this remote up and running.

Mike

Since this is related to this old thread...

I wanted to let everyone know that I've posted all the Gyration Media Center Remotes' software files in a public SkyDrive folder which can be found in the following link:

Gyration Remote Drivers/Applications http://sdrv.ms/UdeJXQ

This folder contains the Dell Remote tray application as well as the Triple Tap Fix and Instruction Manual.

It also contains the Manuals for the GYR3101US and GYR4101US Gyration remotes.

I've included the Gyration Triple Tap fixes for both 32 bit and 64 bit Win OS systems... (Note these do not work with the Dell Remotes - You must use the Dell Triple Tap fix for this unique remote.)

I also included the very hard to find Gyration Air Music Service application.... I am not sure how this app differs from the Dell version, other than the fact that it was written specifically for the GYR4101US.

Hopefully these files will continue to be useful to others... I know I had a very difficult time finding these device Drivers.

Mike

Has anyone ever found a solution to fix the damned gyro sensors on these? I have two dead now and now a friend of mine just had one go out. All had the same problem where the cover for the gyro just came off and it no longer works.

Edit to above post I found a fix!!
