I have picked one of these up and I "repaired" it as in a previous thread.
But, there is a another issue with it and I'm not sure, what could be the problem.
The remote works only from a few inches(~6").
If I take the whole thing apart, the range is around a foo and a half.
I have tested the remote with new battery, tried another remote(from a 636 model) and it is the same.
The IR LED, is a three pin type. One leg has the 3.3V as it should, second leg is the ground and the third is the signal, which shows 3.24V and if I press the remote's button, the voltage drops for a second.
I have compared the voltage readings, from a 636 and they are the same. The LED could be bad? IR LED part # IRM-3638M3S28
I'm not sure what can be wrong.
