QUOTE(AVFAN @ May 22 2017, 10:00 PM) battery weak?! u may want to check with a seller to see if the std remote for Q or H series that hasn't change in 5 yrs will work. this model... >5 yrs old? the casing is very close to q5/q5ii. but realtek chipset, should be good for playback, dtshdma too, i think. old android version... can it still stream well? Not the batteries. Because when I press the Power button, it can still switch the player on / off. The only buttons working are: 1. Power on/off 2. Mute 3. Eject 4. VFD 5. Timer 6. 16:9 7. Bookmark 8. Volume 9. Right key I've contacted ccs221, but not reply so far. This player is still very good as a media player and it's what we primarily use it. I really hope to find a replacement remote, than to discard such a good working player.

You can find them in playstore.

Do not own a personal Android device. 2. It's interesting. But how does it connect to the HD910A player? 3. Are you using this with the same player I have, or a different model?

I install cetusplay/wukong to both of the devices. 1. install cetusplay TV client to the tv box. 2. install cetusplay remote to the handheld device. 3. open the cetusplay TV client 4. open the cetusplay remote on the handheld and it will sync and you can see the host device on the network map. it there are a few host devices that has cetusplay client you can select which one you wanted to connect to.

The remote is the white color one.
Maybe try open up the remote casing and clean the contacts if possible.

I think more likely the firmware's corrupted, esp if last firmware update was a long time ago. I would reinstall the final firmware and see it all goes back to normal. And yes, if u primarily use it for media playback, it is good for a long time to come!

Tried that and firmware installation went well. But when I get to screen which shows the Menu Language, Time and 1 more menu, I couldn't navigate because of the remote  Looks like I may have to open it apart.

It's been fixed in latest Kodi v17.2 and VLC.. Even Popcorntime too.. Unfortunately, those still stuck with older versions have to be more cautious.
