Many CCDs, such as those found in digital cameras/camcorders, are very sensitive to infrared light.
Simply aim the emitter at your camera, and a bluish-white light should show up if the emitter is working.
An old black-and-white camcorder will have greater sensitivity than a color one, and a Sony camera in NightShot mode will allow you to see infrared like you would see any other light source, including reflections.

If it's falling apart it's a mechanical problem. If it's spewing smoke it's a electrical problem.
If it's rampaging around destroying things it's a programming problem.
