Universal Remote SolutionsMost universal remotes are compatible with Micromax receivers. When setting one up, you will need to enter a specific code. Common Micromax 3-digit or 4-digit codes often work across their entire Mini HD line. If your universal remote has an auto-scan feature, it is the easiest way to pair the devices.
Lack of Ventilation: Placing the unit inside a closed cabinet or behind a TV without airflow.
To keep your Micromax MM2070 Mini HD running smoothly, clean the vents periodically with compressed air. For the remote, always remove the batteries if you don't plan on using the device for more than a month to prevent acid leakage, which is the number one cause of remote failure. If you're having trouble, let me know: Is the remote or just some buttons? Does the receiver reboot or freeze when it gets hot?
