I had this same exact problem.

Look on the back and see when it was made... If it was made in like 2007 just say you bought it for 100 dollars in November from walmart.

Truth is I doubt its your remote, when I had this issue I had my remote plus a friends remote and still couldn't get it to work. It didn't work for weeks then one day my little brother came over and didn't know better and tried it out and it worked. I had already called Toshiba and they had given me a RA number and were ready for me to ship it back. I didnt ship it but now I am since now I am having a problem with it playing HD-DVDs it has to go back. It will play DVDs and CDs but not HDDVDS.

Best thing I would say is try Toshiba first... I wouldn't say you bought it used though. I don't have my receipt and they were still willing to talk to me.
