I bought a 65x75k at rm2799 from Domaio and after everything is installed. During night time then only I find out that the remote control is in this condition. Wondering is it normal? How to check whether the unit is second hand? I asked the shop and they told me it’s new from warehouse.

Last time there is a total TV usage time counter. But I think now they remove it.... maybe can try google and see if can access the service menu.

Thanks for help.

Yes I tried to access the service menu but no way to get in like last time. Used to be display + 5 + volume up/down and power on. Now can’t access anymore. 😅

demo units lo.
unsold to any end user. u cannot claim it is 2nd hand
u r first hand end user

K series changed to different remote design right? No more numbering

My x85k not that remote

Any chances to get it return for new set instead?

The remote control was sealed in the packaging when it came.

I bought the low range one which is x75k. Most probably still using the old design remote.

I checked the label and it written 2023 Oct manufacture date.

low chance to exchange. now u r first hand. warranty period begin run.
if shop accept return, really become second hand liao
who rugi? who willing to buy?

Just contacted them just now and they told me most probably I scratched the remote control myself.. so they can’t do anything..

Wondering how you all could know if it’s a demo unit because it seemed to be new with everything in plastic and even the remote control is wrapped inside a plastic bag..

guess only. need further evidence

usually new unit got a sealed tight cable that wrap around the box , if no means demo unit

Yes it came with white colour sealed tight cable though. The remote control also stick with the plastic as well. But once peel off, the inside is full so scratches.

Not sure whether it’s really demo or new unit. Shop just reject return or bear any responsibility currently

Any good way to find evidence to support this?

Was tried to figure out by googling and seemed like only way is to go into diagnostic mode. I tried with my old Sony tv and it works. But unfortunately this tv does not support the mode anymore.

Yes no more numbers. Got number probably Android TV, not Google TV. my guess.

Ouch! Meaning this is old stock?

But my TV currently using Google TV as well. The interface seemed different as compared to my old android TV

a quick search can see x75k still using numbering remote control. x80k and above are using new design

Demo unit. TV wont last long perhaps. Imagine this TV was always on during before this.

Inspect the TV closely. Any sign of dust due to left in the open or stain from wiping. Did the screen and sides all come with proper plastic protection when you unboxed.

Thanks for your help and clarification!

Really disaster, thought of buying from a reputable shop wont have this problem, end up really worse choice to get from them.

So far there is no scratch or accumulation of dust at tv corner.

The sides did come with plastic protection but screen doesn't though.

Normally I will take photo of the demo unit serial number that being displayed. If the goods delivered to me same serial number, then I will call their CS.

That’s a very good tips thanks!

Their showroom don’t have this TV model so they told me it won’t be a demo unit. It’s direct from warehouse.

So now thinking how come the sealed box inside would have scratches remote.

Right now they contact Sony side and they said Sony agreed to replace remote control only but not TV 😩
