My LG Blue ray player bp550 remote was not working , i opened it up and saw the capacitor C1 is missing from the PCB. Now if i get a new capacitor it should work but i don’t know which capacitor is to install. Kindly help to know about the capacitance and voltage of the capacitor. This remote is a 1.5 volt AAA battery operated. Thanks

Hi @sandy11, I can’t find any information about the component details in the remote except the “IC control chip” which is used but that’s no help in knowing the capacitor’s value. Hopefully a missing capacitor is all that is wrong with it According to the user manual you can install an app in an Android phone or an iPhone and use the phone as a remote to control the player if the player is connected to your WiFi router that is, but maybe only after it has been setup first using the remote I’m not sure as I didn’t go through the whole manual. Do you know anyone with a similar LG player e.g. BP340, BD551, BH100, BH200, who could loan you the remote at least long enough to set it up so that you can use an app? Alternatively getting a replacement remote may save the trouble of trying to find out the value of the capacitor and get it working sooner. The supplier shown is only an example to show the cost of the remote. There are others that may suit you better. Just search for LG BP550 remote control unit to get results
