I'm making a shot in the dark here, hoping someone will know what I'm talking about. I have a universal remote control for ... well, a lot! One day, it stopped working (after being dropped on the floor)! Being an amateur electronics buff (read: guy who likes to look at the guts of things), I took it apart and came up with the hypothesis that it could be the tran- mitters, which I assume are the things that look like LEDs at the front of the remote. (they don't look exactly like LEDs, i mean, same shape, but there are concave dishes inside). Any idea what these are? Can I find them anywhere or are they some special parts valued at $800 each? (my luck) It would be nice to get this $100 remote working again... Thanks for any and all the help you can give!
