Re: IR LED to repair remote control

Andrew, I have the same problem with my 880 Harmony, it happened
Tuesday afternoon (Sept 25th). Everything on the LCD screen looks
normal, but my devices don't respond to the remote. I took it apart
and measured about 1.6v on the diode with a digital multi meter. I
also concluded that the diodes were bad.
One thing I have to add to the disscussion is that a couple of days
ago I noticed that the IR shield was very warm, the only source of the
heat was the IR diodes. The remote was sitting flat and nothing was
hitting any buttons, but I was a little freaked out, so imediately I
pulled out the battery. I rebooted the remote, and everything worked
fine for a couple of days. Untill it stoped working...boo.
I sent a letter to Logitech customer service, but it seems like they
might not be too helpful, I asked for the diode specs, but that's
really just wishfull thinking. Let me know how some beefier diodes
hold-up and I'll keep you advised of anything I find.
