Viewing a IR Flash

I will keep it short. Wife broke one of my Harmony remotes this weekend. Any function you do with the touchscren still works.
Any function you use with the buttons doesnt.
I know there are two IR LED's on the remote and I'm wondering if one of them is busted but the other is good.
I used to be able to use the camera on my iPhone to view IR flashes when I hit the buttons. My iPhone 6 Plus apparently has IR Filters on both the front and rear cameras so I cant.
Any suggestions on how to see if the IR LED's need replaced on this one or not?

I am not positive, but I recall some remotes using both IR-LEDs regardless for added range and off axis response. I have heard of the board or ribbon cable to pads loosing contact or breaking.

I was able to view the remote flashes on my iPhone 6S from a McIntosh remote[
