6. Perhaps the remote receiver burned out. The light switch feeds the receiver

So your question is does the receiver distrubite the power or is it history.Replaceable part. OK so, if the switch is sending power to the receiver and the fan does not work ,since you know for sure you have power at the fan ,you will assume the receiver is toast. To be sure you can hard wire the fan light to switch as you would without a remote. At that stage in it, it works or it don't. Of course you look for any fried wiring before you conduct the tests.
replacement receivers are sold because those items do burn out over time anyway .
