The Advanced Wireless Receiver is embedded in the USB cable, so if you're not using that cable or it has failed, you'll never get a remote to work since that's what it communicates with. What's the model number written on the stick? If it's 3810 and your cable has failed, you're out of luck since it's no longer made.
