Strangely, I have a black and white CCTV camera that gives me a view of my back garden. It has some sort of infra red light arrangement on it to allow it to give some sort of picture at night. If I point a remote control at it, and press the button, I can actually see the normally invisible light-pulses that come from it.
I found this out accidentally when testing the camera indoors prior to installation. I connected it to the TV, and then found its ability to 'see' remote control pulses.

If you have a tv camera or camcorder, many of them are sensitive to infrared which is what your remote puts out. Aim it at the camera while watching the video and see if light is coming out.
All of the other answers are somewhat correct, but they neglect to take into account the remote circuitry of the device you are trying to control may be defective.

if ur remote control has a light bulb that can sorta b seen, then put a cheap camera phone/digital camera(about half a megapixel) up to the light and press a button on the remote.
If the remote is working, then u should b able to c it light up through the digital camera.

Put fresh batteries in the controller.
If the remote doesn't turn on the device, then it's not working.
