One thing is to test whether the remote is actually sending the IR signal or not.
Use a cell phone camera to view the IR transmitter while pushing a button. I.e. aim the remote at the camera lens.
You should see the IR LED blinking the signal as a white illumination on the cell phone screen. Test this on any known good IR remote too, just for fun. Amaze your friends.
It is remarkable that the cameras are sensitive to infra-red and display it as white. At least mine does.

This is brilliant, I tried this out on the Klipsch remote and realized it was not emitting any signal. Turned out the battery did not make contact with the positive terminals inside the remote(checked with flashlight). I repositioned the terminals which appeared to have been push back and now the remote is as good as new.
