Yes, the IR LEDs in remotes can be easily reused, especially if they have longer leads. I pulled a couple from a IR repeater that quit working too. If you don't mind how it looks you can just solder wires on and bend them so the LED shines across the face of the device to be controlled. Because it is so close it doesn't need to be aimed directly at the unit. These could be hooked up to a serial port or with the appropriate plug, used in place of a stick on emitter with a USB transciever.
