JP1 Remotes

I have a URC-7541 and have been programming it just fine using a JP1 cable.

A short while ago it stopped working for no apparent reason, I have checked the batteries.
The device buttons light up ok when a button is pressed and the IR.exe program doesn't find a problem and even flashed the TV button twice after an upload.
However if I program in any of the devices which were working fine, they now do not operate the device, it is almost as though the output LED has broken, is there any way to test this?

is there a way to perform a factory reset?

Do you have a digicam, an intenet cam or a camcorder? These devices are able to "see" the ir light of the transmitting LED.

You can do a factory reset via magic 9-8-1.

Wow, I didn't know that! you learn something new every day! Thanks

Nothing is being transmitted by the remote
but I did check another remote with the camera to make sure it could see it!

I guess I have fried it

If you are good in soldering and you are willing to give it a try, you can take the remote apart and solder in a new IR LED (or two, I don't know, how many LED the 7541 has).

Uwe,

The remote is still in warranty so I will send it back and see if they replace it, if not then I will try and repair,

Thanks
