sounds familiar i have had this a couple of times, take the remote apart and clean the solder behind the infra red bulb with a bit of sandpaper, best of all just retouch with a solder gun...m

Quick tip

If you ever need to check if a remote is working, infra red ones that is. If you have a mobile phone with a camera just look at the LED through your camera and press a button the way the camera works will put the infra red signal into the visible spectrum so you can see it light up on your phone. Saves you trashing a remote without being sure.

I also seem to remember that D-boxes have a remote disable function
