If you are troubleshooting a BroadLink universal remote, the issue is frequently a weak power brick rather than a broken device.
You can use the underlying Python library that powers most BroadLink integrations to manually test the connection. Install Python on your machine.
Here’s a quick Python script that avoids the GUI entirely. Save as send_code.py :
