No real ideas, just a suggestion.
If you want to directly determine if the IR diode is actually emitting
anything you can observe it through the viewfinder of a digital still
camera or most camcorders.
If you can find an MCM 72-003 it's a piece of laminated cardboard with
an IR sensitive area, it glows when hit by IR. Unfortunately I don't
think they make them anymore. Too bad, they were under $1.
