  • I see. I'm pretty good at doing cap kits. I hope all works out. As for the monitors remote to change the monitor settings, I have multiple universal remotes laying around the house. Have you heard of any that work besides the "Anymote" one?
  • I have my username in the bottom left of this picture. It's iyouwas.
  • I picked up a Wii U kiosk a couple weeks ago. I decided to put a Freeplay Zero in it, and set it up at a local public space. It was all going great for about a week.



    It looked like this:



    Now, we can't seem to get the HDMI input to come back on. It just goes to this screen: http://nintendoagemedia.com.s3.amazonaws.com/_usermedia/attachments/52666D4D-BB4A-F637-B0E7A064F4EE854A.png



    I think that I have an IR input/blaster style cable at home. I'll try that out.



    I looked on eBay, and there are a lot of Element remote controls that are in the $6-10 range. Has anyone tried any of them? I'd love to have a remote there with the machine in case it does this again.



    At GameStop, how did employees handle this sort of issue, or did it never come up? I can't get the thing to recognize HDMI at all at the moment. I'm REALLY hoping that the IR input and remote control deal actually works.
  • Do you know about holding in the button to switch between inputs?
  • Or you can try the other HDMI input. If your smartphone has remote capabilities, you can go the ir route. Mine does not. I made that mistake. Lol

    Ok, I actually had this happen to me and a few people online had this issue. This is what I commented on a question that I got on thingiverse of all places: 



    "What you do, is undo the bezzle on the tv so you can see the ports, plug in an ir sensor, download an app called "Anymote Smart Remote" for android, set the remote to "element echs262". From there press the 3 button to open the input, then find the ok button (its different but i dont know which one), after you press that, it should stay that way. Check out the thread on nintendoage and you can read the back and forth me and another user had"

    Thanks!  I actually saw that info at https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:2096013/comments before posting here.  It's definitely good info.



    I do want to fix it, but I _also_ want to have an actual remote in the cabinet, so other people can easily fix it when this happens again.  



    Any idea if any of these would work?

    EDIT:  I updated the eBay link, because it was broken before.

    A programmable remote is ideal. No clue if that one will work.
  • I got the kiosk "fixed" using the Android app. I wish I had a good/easy way to re-fix it when the issue pops up again. Even with the Android app, I have to push some buttons on Android, then push one of the physical ones on the kiosk, and so on. It works, but it's not simple to explain to someone else, and I might not always be around when it acts up.

    Added you, Flavor, to the kiosk list, but did not know all the info. Feel free to send me the missing info.

    I've attached 4 photos of my kiosk.  It's definitely missing a bunch of parts.



    I'm using it to show off our Freeplay Zero from freeplaytech.com at the moment.

     
  • Anyone know how to add/remove demos for the HDD version console that doesn't have an optical media drive? My console doesn't take discs, and several of the demos are borked. Also, this was with my kiosk. I'm not sure what it does or what is on it. Maybe add it to the list of possible stuff for the kiosk?
