Desolder the LEDs from the other remotes.
Step 3: Solder
Solder 2 wires to each lead of the original IR LED. Then solder one of each wire to the appropriate lead on the other IR LEDs.
Step 4: Glue
Now glue the IR LEDs to the other side of the ciruit board.
Step 5: Re-Assemble
Now stick the cover back in place, i had to use hot glue because i cracked it.
Finished
Now you have a remote with 2 times as much range as before.
You may want to cut holes in the side of the remote, and stick the LEDs through then, so you can use it sideways.
