Default McIntosh C220 Pre-Amp Remote Control - having issues

Hi All

My remote for the c220 has always acted up a little.

For example, I'd press the volume + button and although the red light at the top would go on the volume wouldn't increase. Then after a few tries the it would work.

Today, that stopped working all together. I tried fresh batteries (two different types) and in each case the red light lights up but the C220 won't respond.

I tried pressing most of the buttons but no response. All functions on the C220 work when using the controls on the unit.

I figure I must have a dud remote (well hoping as I don't want to bring my C220 in for a check up!).

There's no way for me to test the C220 since I don't have any other remotes that it would respond to. The only other remote I have is the for the Oppo 105.

I'm thinking the best option is to take the remote to a dealer and see if it works on a different C220 unit. But I'm wondering if there's something else I could try. Plenty of experts and knowledgeable people on this forum so I figure someone might have come across a similar issue.

Thanks!

Eddie
