MXQ - No remote

[Exmix]

OK, let me first off apologize if this is in the wrong area but I don't know the details about my MXQ box.

Long story short a family members gave me the MXQ box but no remote. There is no power button on the box anywhere. Is there any other way I can turn it on or do I have to buy a replacement remote?

If you can post a picture of the model (top, sides and bottom) we might be able to trace the device and check if other solutions would work.

Hi
Have you thought about buying a USB remote like the droidbox VIP or similar.
They should work....Here's a link to help.

I know the remote I can buy off Amazon that works for this, i'm trying to see if there is a way to turn it on without the remote before I go and buy it. When it's on I can work with it from there but I don't have a way to turn it on.

Have you tried the recovery menu, on this device it's the tooth pick in the AV slot and then plug the power in. This should get the recovery menu up, then just click the reboot on the menu. See if this works for you.

Best of luck

I didn't know that was there. xD
I put a toothpick in, held the button down, plugged in the power and nothing. Didn't take me to any recovery menu.
I also tried having it plugged in the pressing the button and still nothing.

You don't mention if there is any lights on it when plugged in so I'm wondering if it's a power supply problem?

Yes there is a steady red light on when it's plugged in.

I did what he did in the video and still no boot menu. I'll go ahead and buy the remote. I don't see any other option.

No worries, and good luck with your box.
