I don't understand why removing the battery and plugging
it back in would wake the remote if it were a circuit
board or battery problem. Care to hypothesize?
When the remote powers on when you plug the battery it goes directed to the full power state. After sleep voltages drop down and parts of the circuit are turned off. Your remote is faling to fell the wake up call or to re-power the parts of the circuit that went off in the sleep mode.
