It's unfortunate to hear that your Pioneer VSX-D510 remote has stopped working. Here are a few additional troubleshooting steps you can try:

Clean the remote: Sometimes, dirt or debris can accumulate on the remote's circuit board, causing it to malfunction. Carefully remove the batteries from the remote and clean the buttons and the circuit board with a soft, lint-free cloth lightly dampened with isopropyl alcohol. Make sure the remote is completely dry before reinserting the batteries.

Check the battery contacts: Inspect the battery compartment of the remote and ensure that the battery contacts are clean and free from corrosion. If you notice any corrosion, use a cotton swab dipped in vinegar or lemon juice to clean the contacts. Dry them thoroughly before reinserting the batteries.

Try a different remote: If possible, try using a different remote control, such as a universal remote, to see if it can successfully control the Pioneer VSX-D510. This will help determine if the issue lies with the remote itself or with the receiver's remote sensor.

Replace the remote: If the remote still doesn't work after attempting the above steps, it is likely that the remote has malfunctioned and needs to be replaced. You can consider purchasing a replacement remote control specifically designed for the Pioneer VSX-D510. Contact Pioneer customer support or check with authorized Pioneer dealers to find a compatible remote control for your receiver.

It's worth noting that older remotes can become difficult to repair due to the availability of replacement parts. In such cases, replacing the remote may be the most practical solution.
