FYI,
I decided to have a look at the power supply that was causing the old
"no remote control" issue on my touch.
Photos attached.
I removed the DC output lead and fitted to another 5v power supply that
I had lying around.
Once that was done and tested, I decided to check out the failed power

Stumbled across this tread while searching for a solution to my SBT
remote not working issue.
All set to pull it apart and replace the sensor when I thought i'd try a
new plug pack from a second SBT that I have just aquired (as suggested
in a couple of posts)
Well what do you know, it now works
It's hard to believe.
I replaced the power supply and the IR problem is gone.
Thank you for this thread.

If above steps fail, I would open the remote and clean the contacts with
rubbing alcohol, then apply contact paste.
This is exactly how my SoundBridge remote behaved in the kitchen, too
many oily finger touches.
The fact that you press harder while brining it close to the SBT may
make you think
+1 to replacing the A/C adapter first, before performing major surgery
to replace the IR sensor. That solved the problem in my case as well.
Long live the SB Touch!

I'd still try a new PSU (the original one with the exact specs) before

IR sensors can fail but they are generally very reliable so it's worth
ruling out other possibilities before giving up on them.
If you haven't already I would test it in a dark room, there are some
light sources, including flat panel TVs, that are known to interfere
with IR signals.
