Oppo BDP-93 remote/sensor issue

Any idea why the unit would stop responding to remote commands?  The remote itself lights up, but not sure if it's transmitting or if it's a problem with the player receiving.  I've refreshed the batteries, cleaned off all pertinent areas of the remote and IR receiver window.  The unit's 7 buttons are fine, but I can only play CD OR SACD on it, since I can't maneuver the menu on any video discs (BLU-RAY, DVD, etc).  All those buttons are on the remote.  Any help out there please?

Thanks !

I crack my remotes and/or keyboards apart,

blow dirt with a compressor; then a small brush dipped in alcohol, I clean the whole pc board, the rubber buttons, .... everything; again blow it dry with compressed air (you can buy a can of it if you don’t have a shop compressor)

a few times, I have needed to scrape the metal where the batteries contact with a small knife.

btw, mostly I get them working, but you win some/you lose some.

Recently a Sony TV remote refused to bounce back after my procedure, I found a Sony replacement on eBay, low cost, works great.

I often use the Oppo Media Control App to operate my 105. You might check to see if it is an option for you if you can't get the remote working.

So I did what @buellrider97 suggested, the cell phone trick, and was able to "see the light".  So I guess it's the unit that is at fault.  Time to take it to the shop now. 

Thanks everyone who chimed in.
