You can also use a cell phone camera or a digital camera to see if the opto is working as well. Turn camera on and turn the room lights down or off and get it close to it. One should be lit up in your view finder (transmitter) and one wont be (receiver). If one is lit up in the view finder of your camera, its working. Of course, do this after you have cleaned with Q tips and alcohol, which will probably do the trick and is the simplest place to start.

Quoted from sd_tom:

As long as the cell phone isn't an iPhone 4S or above.. They have IR filters built in. On the flip side, my retired iPhone 3GS now lives in the pinball parts box as Opto troubleshooting widget.

Ah! Good to know.

Quoted from madcow:

So now I need to figure out how to raise deadworld a bit...

Do you have the manual? Its been a while since I had a JD, but theres a fairly thorough section on trouble shooting the dead world in it. Not sure if it covers that issue or not but worth checking into.
