faulty microsoft mce remote

[smee204]

Anyone had any problems with the Microsoft media centre remote?

The red light on the remote flashes constantly then turns off and its dead. I have tried putting new batteries in and also tried leaving batteries out for 24 hours to discharge it but still no luck.

Any ideas?

thanks

have you had any liquid spilt on it?

sounds like something may be shorting?

no defiantly not its not had anything on it. One moment it was working and the next it wasn't. I dont understand it, think must be a hardware failure.
