Hi! I has an old IR remote control which has a LM3714AM from sharp. No more on the board than the chip, a couple of caps and a small blue box (a xtal?). You can have a look at ftp://ftp.iac.es/out/dsg/LR3714AM/chip.png ftp://ftp.iac.es/out/dsg/LR3714AM/xtal.png (the chip is on one side of the PCB and the caps and blue box on the opposite) The thing is that the two pins blue box has one of them broken. I have unsuccesfully search the datasheet of the LR3714AM. I think the box is the xtal, but at which freq.? Any tips?
