The remote does not work at all. It's not the battery.
SOURCE: no connection between the fan remote and Ceiling fan
The remote-controlled fans that I've seen all have DIP switches in the transmitter (the "remote") and receiver (up by the fan). For the remote to operate the fan, both sets of switches have to be set to the same code. If you happened to bump the DIP switches (and change the code) while replacing the battery, the fan would no longer respond to the remote.
It's been four months since you posted this problem, so you've probably figured that out by now. Still, other users may run into the same problem occasionally.
SOURCE: remote and fan stopped connecting -- no changes and batteries are new
Is it infrared remote? If so you can check my instructable how to repair remotes: http://www.google.co.nz/url?sa=t&source=web&ct=res&cd=1&url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.instructables.com%2Fid%2FRepair-your-remote-controls%2F&ei=mpVVSrr6O4_-sgP0-oDPDg&usg=AFQjCNGyomjVuVMr6mFT1L36ffi06FhCDg&sig2=kheNi9TulBWzmhGOMiIX7g
SOURCE: I have a hampton bay ceiling fan/light and the
try turning off the switch/circuit breaker at the main lighting panel. Then just turn it back on. Worked for me.
I'm guessing a capacitor in the remote is holding a charge and causing the problem. You'll probably need a new remote soon thiough.
