If the receiver led does not light with the remote activated, I would first
check the battery contacts, to make sure they are shiny clean, and double
check the polarity. *If this doesn't work, then I think I would run to ebay

Can't think of much else right now.....

Let us know if you get it solved...

If the remote is infrared, if you have a video camera, hook it up to a
tv set and then point the remote directly at the camera. Most cameras
will show some reaction to the infrared output of the remote. That
will at least tell you that something is coming out of the remote.
Have you checked for dirt, cobwebs, etc on the infrared receiver. If
this is a wireless radio-controlled remote system, you need to find
someone with a similar receiver and see if you can program your remote
to work on the other system. Do you only have one remote, most systems
come with two remotes these days?
