if you mean the little hand held remote similar to all of the other ones
(tv, etc) laying around...

often you can open the case and clean it. The buttons consist of
interlaced copper traces on the pcb board, and the silicone pad (the
button) has a carbon deposit on it (usually carbon, I think?). When
pressed, the carbon shorts the interlaced traces, giving you a press.

all sort of stuff can be happening when they don't work, dirt, spills,
age (the copper can oxidize)....try to use a pencil eraser on the copper
pad locations to buff them up a bit, then basically wash the silicone
pad (carefully where the carbon is). Also, take a look at the case that
the buttons protrude through and make sure they aren't gunked up which
might cause a button to stick. I have had other remotes that "don't
work" where I discovered a button was stuck, preventing everything from
working

If all of that fails, I might have one somewhere I can send to you, not
sure, I'd have to look. Are they the same as the Radios? I really don't
use them.
