Hi,
I just made my 3 point cap.
At first it work ok. All 3 points where visible on the screen.
15 minutes later, I cant see them anymore. If I turn it of and on again, it blinks for a fraction of second and its gone...
Whats going on? I tried other batteries, but the problem persists.
Thanks.

UPDATE:
leds are appearing on the screen but the signal is too weak. Leds are only visible up to 10 inches away from the remote.
One inch more, and the leds disappear.
Is there a way to increase its reach?
- The led tops are flat.
Maybe Im using the wrong type of resistor?
Would a different resistor make a difference?
Im using a 9v battery, the 3 leds are NOT on serial (I just found out that serial would be the way to go, but its done already...)
I dont know the resistor specs... I just asked for IR leds, resistors and a battery at the store counter... they sold me that, and I built it.
PLease someone could answer my doubts?
thank you!
