Three most often causes of remote not working (other than dead or reversered
batteries):
1)Loose solder connections around battery lead wires or osc crystal
Just fixed a remote with a bad solder joint on one of the crystal leads.
of my remotes about once every 6 months.2)corrosion due to liquid such as cola or beer spilled on unit
Seems like I have to clean the keypad contacts on one or the other
3)cracked circuit board from rough handling (dropped)

In my experience, majority of the times one observes symptoms you
describe, its the crystal/resonator. Try replacing it.

Most likely is a dead battery.

That test method works?

You can see IR flashes on a monitor connected to a surveillance
camera. I haven't tried it, but I suspect you may also be able to see
the flashes with a webcam.
You can also detect the flashes using a known good IR led emitter on a
scope. An IR led emitter makes a pretty good IR detector too. The IR
led emitter can be easily scavenged from a dead remote. Just arrange
the 2 IR leds pointed towards each other at close range and observe
the scope while pressing the remote's buttons. On a working remote a
brief train of digital pulses will show up on the scope trace. It's
just a simple go/no-go test.
Easiest, is to look at it through the electronic viewfinder of a digital
