<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I have two myth systems I have been using for a
while. One is in a Silverstone box, and it started to give me a small
problem. The remote did not work. I figured out that if I pressed
the IR wire into the board really hard the remote worked. So probably
because of the way the card fits in this box, it was not going in all the
way.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Anyway, now even that does not work. So I
compared the two systems and found that when I do</FONT></DIV>

<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>ps ax | grep irc </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I get the following on the good system</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>2098 ? s

<DIV>but on the problem system I only get the first line. So, I suppose
that means for some reason the drivers are not loading. Incidentally, I
swapped the cards, the IR cord, the remote, and I also resintalled the system -
same behavior on the problem system.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>This is a wild guess on my part, but in the problem system (Silverstone
horizontal case) I am using a riser card. Is it possible that the
riser card is eating up the weak signal from the IR? I tried new batteries
on the remote just in case to test this theory :-) but no luck.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Any thoughts on a fix?</DIV>
