preamp remote won't work??

Really? What does that do. You mean you took out the batteries and just held a paper clip across both positives?
I just wondering if it is more commom for the remote to not work, or the sensor in the preamp itself.

Thanks. I did find a replacmement, but I just am not sure it is the remote or not, so before spending the $50, I thought their might be away of knowing. I would imagine the remote is more likely going to fail, since it is the device that gets the most use, wear.
