    Moved into a new place and my master bedroom has a fairly nice Hampton Bay fan. However, the previous tenants "lost" the remote for it. The walls are plaster so Pandora Clearance Outlet the landlord opted against running a switch on the wall, so for the time being I am without a ceiling fan.

    I'd like to replace the remote assembly with a pull chain, as I've heard no good things about ceiling fan remotes.

    Edit: this fan is a real POS. No chains, no reverse switch, no remote receiver in any serviceable area. I found a replacement remote at Home Depot and attempted to replace it. I'm not sure what exactly to do with this fan besides ask my landlord to throw it out. Ideas?

    Edit 2: updated my answer, the light housing had fubar'd electronics. Pandora Clearance Online Replaced those and it is golden.

    As far as I can find, Pandora Clearance Charms having taken the fan down, there is no way to add a pull chain to this fan. There is also no remote receiver in any user serviceable area of the fan. The light housing connects to the fan body via a six pin Molex connector and contains a wattage limiter of some kind (per the Hampton Bay specs for similar fans).

    I am unable to buy a replacement remote with a reverse button, nor have I been able to get the fan to reverse or speed up. The Home Depot staff were also unsure how to fix the problem, and the service personnel at the 1 800 number included with the fan remote were Pandora Clearance Jewelry also unsure how to fix the problem.

    The fan appears to be worth at most $70, so I am just going to replace it in its entirety. Lesson learned: avoid Hampton Bay remote controlled fans.

    Edit: A look inside showed that the light housing was fubar (partially melted, probably killed the receiver). I replaced it with an aftermarket kit and voila:
