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 !

The same thing happened to my Oppo UDP-203 remote. I tried every kind of troubleshooting Google gave me. I bought a cheap aftermarket one off of eBay which works fine but isn't nearly as nice or simple as the stock remote. Remote issues are literally the only negative thing I have ever seen re: Oppo. Besides this issue, I love mine.

So it makes more sense from a money standpoint to get the new remote ($20) vs. taking it to the shop (as @buellrider97 said).  The guy wants $45 just to diagnose the issue (which will go towards the repair).  I won't get the remote delivered till next week sometime.  Good thing i have a back up.

You can find remotes on ebay. Oiginals and replacements.

Got the new remote yesterday!  Glad to report that all is well now.  No need to take the unit into the shop for repair.   But I do see now that the "cell phone trick" can be deceiving.  Good to know!

Remove the battery panel. Rotate batteries while in their contacts and manipulate controls at the same time.
