remote control stopped working!!!

anyone know what could be wrong with my remote for my coolsat 4000? It just quit working. Put brand new batteries in, still don't work. When I push some of the buttons, the little light turns red. Maybe I'm just not pushing the "right" buttons. Any help would be GREAT!!!!!
thanx

 

If you have a mobile phone with a camera, switch it to camera mode. Point the remote at the camera lens and press some buttons, and you should see the infra-red LED flashing on the screen. If you don't see it flashing, then yes, the remote is dead.If you do see it flashing, then it's not the remote.

 

thanx, but wouldn't u know it. don't have a camera phone. can i point it at anything else?? lol
