Found the discussion on the 15-100 modification. A lot of good ideas there, I may add my own here soon. I think I will pick up a bunch of these to give to family who have not yet consolidated their hoard of remotes.

Thanks Rob, (both for responding and running this site). I suspected I would not be able to get a good connection, but I wanted to try. Is that why I am getting the runtime error, or would there be another reason? Tommy was nice enough to get me the 6 pin connector.
I don't know how I am going to ...

difficulty getting started with my RCU810

I also just picked up a Radio Shack 15-100 on clearance today, they had a bunch of them for $14. Anyway I am trying to get started here. I ordered my JP1.2/3 USB cable from Tommy and have the JP1 plug for it as well. I downloaded and installed the driver, Remote Master, RDFs, and the Decode IR2.39 ...

That explains another problem with a different remote. Our ceiling fan would occasionally turn on by itself.

Also I realized last night I need to post my question above about mimicking the remote in another place. Thanks to both of you and anyone else who read this.

The batteries work well enough to light up the remote. But after switching the batteries (which I would bet money I did already) I see the blue light (IR in camera). If a remote doesn't have the power to send an IR signal, why would it still light up? That seems like a design flaw. Thanks Vicky for ...

The eye damage was kind of a joke, like they tell you to not point them at your eye. I used the camera on this remote and another. This remote did not appear blue, but the other did. What is most likely broken, the emitter or another part in the remote?

If you are wondering how it may have been ...

OK, so you are saying to check the remote with a digital camera, is that to prevent eye damage? I should take video of the emitter while pressing buttons to see if there is any blinking and then watch the video?
Here are pictures of the remote:

IR receiver for computer stopped lighting up

I am trying to get my computer respond to my Noah Company MediaGate GV-IR05WT Windows Vista MCE Learning Remote Control. The computer says the receiver is working fine, the remote is working and blinks, but the receiver which normally blinks to let you know it is getting a signal does not light up ...
