I once remember seeing a little card that was used to
test TV remotes. It
was treated with some substance that would fluoresce when struck with IR.
Can someone tell me where to find such an item? Seems like a good
place to
start, so I can see if it's a transmission or reception problem.
Most camcorders 'see' infrared LED's just fine. Just aim the camcorder at
the IR LED, and look through the monitor viewfinder... My
Sony Hi8 camcorder can see infrared LED's light up really well, I've used it
a number of times to find dead LED's in remote controls.
Just a thought...
