Harmony 659 Our harmony remote just stopped working. We replaced the batteries and still nothing, no lights, no screen display.... Any idea what could have happened or how we could fix it? We have only had the remote in use for about a year.

Have you tried resetting your Logitech Harmony 520 remote by updating your remote's firmware? Firmware replacement fixes several Harmony problems.

To upgrade or reapply the firmware on your Harmony remote:

1. Launch the Harmony remote software and log into your account.
2. Click on the Downloads button at the top-right corner of your screen.
3. Click on the Firmware button. Follow the onscreen instructions to upgrade the firmware on your Harmony remote.
4. Once the firmware upgrade is complete, click on the Update Remote button.

I hope that helps.

I suggest starting the software and updating the settings...

1. Launch the Harmony software on your computer.
2. Click 'Update Remote'

I wish there was a low cost solution to your broken display. However, the cost to repair will run more than a new remote.
I would recomend the Harmony 510 for a replacement.

With many electroics these days, it is cheaper to replace than repair.
Good Luck
I hope this helps.

Try the following troubleshooting steps:

1) Remove the battery from the Harmony Remote for 10 seconds and reinsert it. If this does not resolve the issue, please continue troubleshooting.
2) Ensure you have the latest version of the Harmony Remote Software (7.6).
3) Update the firmware on the Harmony Remote. The following link shows how to complete this task:

4) Try putting the Harmony Remote in safe mode and complete the firmware update again. The following are the steps to accomplish this:
a) Remove the battery from the Harmony Remote.
b) Press and hold the power button while reinserting the battery into the Harmony Remote.
c) To get out of safe mode, remove the battery for 10 seconds and reinsert it into the Harmony Remote.

If still not working - contact Logitech and tell them you completed these steps

Hi. I am not sure what you mean by updates. Do you mean are there any newer models of remote that can replace your Harmony 659?

If that is your question, then yes there is! Logitech has just annouced two brand new models of Harmony remote. The Harmony 600 and Harmony 650, which are available in North America on April 1st 2010.

Hope that answers your question!

Call Harmony support. I have the same thing with Harmony 670 and they said it is a hardware error. No fix that I have been able to find. If it is under warranty they will replace it. If not, I don't know what it would cost to repair.
