    I'm not sure when it stopped working, all I know is that It used to be able to power on my laptop even if it wasn't turned on as long as I had the battery in, but now that's not even working.

    I ended up finding that there's a device conflict between the motherboard and it, but this isn't being helpful in what's conflicting.

    I've gone through driver reinstalled, and a BIOS flash, but of course none of that worked; any ideas?

    Next tab in that dialog box you posted - power management - is the box that says "allow this device to wake computer" checked?

    It's checked, but I got it working anyway; there weren't any hardware problems at all, only a "dead" remote battery (I checked it using a camera and saw it turn on, but I got a new battery and it started working anyway).

    Its weird its a "conflicting" device when there's actually nothing wrong with it; its actually the resource itself.

    Its always the simple solutions~
