Hi-ya,


 Try and see if irrecord let's you record your own .conf file for your
remote, as a test.


 Stop lirc first.

~$ sudo service lirc stop


 then :

~$ irrecord temptest.lirc.conf


 Irrecord has a walk-tru script, so it's fairly easy to follow. Try and
record a few buttons. As a test.


 If it does record. You might have to rerecord your remote, and replace the
existing .conf file.


 If irrecord doesn't record the remote then it may be a bad IR receiver,
maybe?


 Theses are steps I remember doing when I had trouble with a mce remote.


 Hope it helps.
