I have spare IR receivers here. Replacing this item can be tricky because it is in a very tight space where it is mounted. I can mail you one for $5 (paypal to paypal@rtr.ca), or you can mail me your displayboard (not the whole Empeg), and I'll replace the part for you for a fee (TBD). Hopefully it's just that part, and not the remote itself (easy to verify with another Empeg).

Cheers
