I've never heard of an LED (which is what those things at the front of your remote are ) being broken in a fall, much less all of them at once. From what you've described I would try to find some broken solder joints or broken wires. The parts in most solid state devices are not too easy to break with simple g forces. Typically the weakest point on these remotes is the connections from the board to the battery... concentrate on that and you will probably be surprised. Disclaimer... " Who... Me??? " allen
