Query: Bought with an iHome from amazon, stopped working after about a month

I bought an ihome along with a remote on amazon a month or two ago. I f I hadn't wanted the remote, I could have payed about 15 or 20 dollars less and gotten one without it. But after about a month of use, my remote decided to stop working.At first I thought the battery was dead. So I tried a new battery. Didn't work. I even used a voltage meter on both batteries and learned that both were completely full and functional. I didn't drop the remote in any way that should have broken on it. I didn't step on it, spill anything on it, or throw it across the room. So I was rather upset when it stopped working. And there no way I can really return it. So now I want a remote but I'm unsure if I should order another.
