Thanks Rob and cauer29. I thought I had seen that at one time or another, but I couldn't find that.
Cauer29, I THOUGHT it was you that filled me in on learns, but I couldn't remember and couldn't find the link. But that was what I had remembered.
I updated the Useful Remote Links in the General forum with those 2 links so that I can find them again.
Thanks again.
Remember to provide feedback to let us know how the problem was solved and share your upgrades.
Tip: When creating an upgrade, always include ALL functions from the oem remote, even if you never plan on assigning them to a button. Complete function lists makes an upgrade more helpful to others.
I eventually applied the Fast Macro patch but I had this patch on the working one too. This is a used remote I got off eBay so cannot say if the previous owner did anything crazy.
Just as a heads up in case someone else runs into this problem I bought another non backlit remote off ebay and that one works without problem. I took all 3 remotes apart and the two that work look like they may have been done by a different manufacturer. The two that worked had this info on the PCB:
