Macbook Pro IR

Hi, since yesterday my MacBooks IR receiver has stopped working.

The receiver is showing up in the system report but is not showing up in the advanced tab for security and privacy.

I've tried reseting the PRAM several times, clearing any applications that maybe interfering, the remote is working perfectly (tested with apple TV), tried re-pairing and tried clearing com.apple.systempreferences.plist as someone suggested but I'm out of ideas now.

Any help would be great, this is just a really annoying issue for me.

MacBook Pro (15-inch, Mid 2012)

8 GB 1600 MHz DDR3

Intel HD Graphics 4000 1024 MB
