I can't seem to use my remote anymore. I have a iMac 20"

It started after I held the play/pause button for like 5 seconds to sleep the machine. I kept playing around with it, hoping to get other features (holding the menu button, holding both the menu and play button). It would still work after then, but last night it died on me. I tried restarting the iMac but to no avail.

Any way to check if my remote's battery has died already (have had it for 3 weeks..)

EDIT: Please lock up thread, as i found the solution. I just held menu and fastforward for 5 seconds. and it responded (pairing it solely with the imac).
