Scope the leads on the IR rcvr.  All should be DC, clean. One will be ground, 
one 5v dc and the output.  If you see any p-p waveform on any of the leads, 
then you have either defective solder connections or corrupted tac switches in 
the control ckt.
When receiving a signal from the remote, you will have apx 5v p-p (clean 
pulses) on the data line. If you have a lot of 'trash', along with the remote 
signal, then you MAY have defective connections (h-v ckt), (key-board ckt) or 
corrupted tac switches on the key-board.

One 'strange' item that will STOP remote operation, is the 'earth' lamps, some 
flourescent lights and most ALL flourescent screw-in lamps.  But, all of these 
will show up as trash on the rmt rcvr data line.

Good luck,
