Hello All,
I just want to share this information which I found out from a TV program.
If your remote control for TV/CD/AVR... is not working, you can check if it is really transmitting any IR signals using your mobile phone camera.
Just switch on the camera and point the remote towards the camera while pressing any button of the remote.
If the remote is working, you should see the LED blinking through the camera. (I believe the mobile phone camera is IR sensitive).
This works with IRDA ports of Laptops and mobiles also.
If you already know this method, please ignore this post.
Regards
Pradeep
