Ever since I got the Mi Box, I had issues with the remote not connecting. First couple times, I was able to re-connect using the common methods found around the internet. But since the last time, it just won't connect anymore. I have unpaired and tried to pair again, but this time nothing comes on. Even when I reset the box, there is no setup for the remote. It's almost like it is broken? This is in my kids room, and I know it's been dropped couple times or whatever, but even so, is there a good chance that it is actually broken? Any way to confirm?

I am using Flirc to get around it, but the only thing with that is I cannot turn the box on when it goes to sleep. Can turn off, but not matter what it does not come back on. Would have to unplug. I even set the box to not go to sleep but it eventually does.I have tried all kinds of remote settings but wake just don't seem to work.

Any other ways I have not come across in pairing the remote? Or how to get the box to wake up using Flirc?

Really no other complaints other than the remote issue.
