Broke my remote :( What does a new one cost? - wikeeboy - 21-Mar-2016 Hey guys My 2 year old decided to use my remote as a spring board.... It's not an issue when playing my Dev as i use my iPhone or iPad to control it. But i use it every now and then to turn SAM on/off. Anyone know what it costs for a replacement? Thanks. RE: Broke my remote :( What does a new one cost? - Damon - 21-Mar-2016 Ah, kids these days. Sorry to hear about the damage. AFAIK, there haven't been any remotes replaced for non-warranty issues. This might be a situation where you enlighten the rest of us. I hope the financial impact is light. RE: Broke my remote :( What does a new one cost? - Cylob - 21-Mar-2016 I asked my dealer what a 2nd remote would cost. 400 euros was the answer. I passed... RE: Broke my remote :( What does a new one cost? - wikeeboy - 21-Mar-2016 That's crazy RE: Broke my remote :( What does a new one cost? - Confused - 21-Mar-2016 For a similar remote experience, you could glue an old smart phone to a chunk of scrap aluminium, could be done for a lot less than 400 euros! RE: Broke my remote :( What does a new one cost? - thumb5 - 21-Mar-2016 Might be worth asking Devialet whether there would be a price reduction if you returned the old (broken) remote control - they might be able to salvage and recondition it, perhaps? RE: Broke my remote :( What does a new one cost? - AllenB - 21-Mar-2016 Amazingly the replacement 250 remote appears to be the same remote as a 200 / 120 one, yet is substantially more costly to replace (twice the price). What's that all about? Isn't the remote the same for all Experts? http://www.stoneaudio.co.uk/?manufacturer=devialet RE: Broke my remote :( What does a new one cost? - Confused - 21-Mar-2016 (21-Mar-2016, 14:14)AllenB Wrote: Amazingly the replacement 250 remote appears to be the same remote as a 200 / 120 one, yet is substantially more costly to replace (twice the price).

However, the 250 remote is thicker, heavier and has that "solid" feel, I think because it is solid aluminium. The 250 remote is a little nicer, but at some cost it would appear!

Yep, close inspection of the photos does reveal the 250 remote to be slightly thicker. £320 thicker (using £10 notes) RE: Broke my remote :( What does a new one cost? - NickB - 21-Mar-2016 (21-Mar-2016, 19:38)AllenB Wrote:(21-Mar-2016, 14:23)Confused Wrote:(21-Mar-2016, 14:14)AllenB Wrote: Amazingly the replacement 250 remote appears to be the same remote as a 200 / 120 one, yet is substantially more costly to replace (twice the price).
