stupid remote control ceiling fan

[1badmonkey]

I have a fan that is not quite 2 yrs old, and it appears the receiver in the fan is bad.... i like the fan, it fits my dining room very well.... the receiver is 80-100 bucks. that is bull crap.

so, any of you guys ever convert one of these to the pull chain type switches?

i have pretty much just started researching this, it just died on wednesday, most of you guys are freaking geniuses, surely some one has done this.....? ? ? ?

shouldn't be a big deal to do....or they make universal remote kits that are usually half that much.

Go to Home Cheapo and get the remote kit and replace it. You are gonna miss the remote if you change it.
