Thank you I am 72 and disabled my son went out and some thing happened the tv went off and nothing worked. I was able to fix it ❤❤

[@ohiochanteuse]

Thank you SO MUCH! Just found my Roku remote after almost a year, changed the batteries, and could not activate Roku. So I unplugged my power and replugged and VOILA! Roku alive and well and ready for use. Thanks again! (I know, I know. Unplugging should be the first thing I try on just about ANY electronic device but I didn't, so thanks for the reminder!)

[@sceneitallwithjeffandjon6984]

Unplugging and plugging the Roku back in worked for me thanks!

[@trulyblessed5947]

Thank you, thank you!!! My remote hasn't been working for a week. I was going to buy a new one, then saw this video. Unplugging worked for me. Thanks you very much.

[@benwob2]

Remote was working but jumping from one screen to the next. Cleaned and added new batteries, and disconnected but no change. Pushing button under the cover apparently did work! Thanks much!

[@grifbabe]

That little button inside the remote fixed my problem. My ear wired buds stopped working. It looked fine on TV as it showed the volume icon when put together but I could hear nothing. After your video and that little button unknown to me was put to the test that was all it took to fix my problem I had been moping about. A great big thank you. You are my hero. ❤❤❤❤❤

[@TyRizzoPeace]

It turns out you can do a “reset” more or less on the basic remote (for the rokustick) by pushing the back button and home button at the same time for about five seconds. There will be a little green light right next to the power button that will start flashing. The green light will quick flash 3/4 times when the remote has reconnected. Unfortunately I had to reset my Roku stick, but it didn’t change much. Because I have more than one Roku tv I was still signed into everything, including the app. Thanks for the tips!

[@FireflyCasual]

That little button press for 5 seconds helped my remote start charging again. Thanks!

[@rasowa2958]

Do not shake out batteries from your remote like this @1:12! Push the battery, with your nails or any tool, on '+' end toward '-' end and lift the '+' end. There is a spring at '-' end that allows that.

[@UpgradeGuyTech]

Oh wow I never thought of that 100000iq

[@kathy-t5q]

After messing with this for 10 minutes, I unplugged it let it sit for about five seconds, plugged it back in, and it worked. Yay

[@robinbluejay7453]

I have a Roku remote that charges up so no batteries. So I did everything, like unplug and reset but still not working. Then I remembered an old trick with old remotes years ago where you press every button on the remote. It worked! I fixed it!

[@gordonwilloughby8793]

Batteries too weak is the most common problem I have had when a Roku remote doesn't work unless Roku freezes. In that case the solution you mentioned of resetting by unplugging the power solves the problem. A new remote needs to be paired as you stated but that is usually a one time thing when it is new.

[@racefan1701]

OMG, thanks for this. Was driving me crazy. The App download worked as a last resort, but then I was able to reset the green light, rebooted the stick and it paired up again.

[@westwardrealty1113]

Wow!! My KZbin channel kept skipping when I used the up or down button on the remote, and your first solution to disconnect and reconnect the device did the trick the 1st time! I wtill watched the rest of the video to learn more ! Thank you!!!🤩🤩🤩

[@teresamacias3833]

Thank u, u fixed my problem, just took out the batteries & wa laaa 😊 it's now working properly 👏🏻

[@pnutwood4956]

This was very helpful. My remote has no batteries. Holding the little button on the back for 5 seconds did the trick🙌

[@gordonwilloughby8793]

All remotes use batteries now. Some use rechargeable batteries. The only remote I have ever seen that didn't use batteries was a very early zenith remote that came with a 1970's Zenith TV. It worked by the button striking a tone bar inside the remote to make a tone the tv recognized. This meant the button would have to be pushed once for each channel or volume change so if you wanted to go from channel 5 to channel10 you had to push the channel up button 5 times. volume was the same. Each push would only change the volume a little. Holding the button for changing the volume or channel change worked the same as pushing the button one time. Probably the reason they didn't use that type of remote on very many tv's

[@RobJMeronek]

If you look at a single battery you’ll see that there’s one side ( - ) that has a spring and the other side ( + ) doesn’t, push the positive side’s corner down toward the negative side’s spring and the battery should come out fairly easily.

[@aulakh2]

Ok guys. Remove the power source from Roku device for at least 60 secs. After 60 secs, turn the power on Roku. When the Roku powers on, insert the batteries back in remote. It should start working.

[@Rich-en8rn]

I have a Roku Ultra in basement and and a Roku Express upstairs. I bought two new premium remotes that are rechargeable. While Using the one remote upstairs I could here sounds from the basement tv. Are the remotes not able to control one Roku box only? Are the boxes taking commands from each remote?

[@abdouramanediallo5068]

The battery buttons worked thanks

[@tieruniebush6620]

Hay do you have any other options i bought new batteries and I unplugged it but it’s still not working

[@UpgradeGuyTech]

Check out my newest video on the sofa baton

[@annettesereno9617]

I have done all these but I have keep unplugging and the keep re pairing . I think I need a new remote. I even called roku people he told me I had the wrong remote but I told him I have used this remote for years but just said I had wrong remote. but don't know how to get a new on I ave a stick roku lots say they do not work on stick. Any ideas?

[@jacksoxman9000]

When do you know the remote is broken? I've try everything to get the power on off Samsung tv. Nothing. It worked fine for over a year. All other buttons work fine. Bad contact button?

[@reeree5259]

The battery coils had some buildup on them. I wonder if that caused my Roku to mess up

[@ginabambaceconklinconklin6517]

Unplugged it and it worked!

[@kaze_cat]

Holy c*&p! A few weeks ago my rechargeable Roku remote began skipping in guide and other similar functions after over a year of seamless functioning. Tried many resolutions offed from the net and other KZbin videos. I tried the first item you advised to do, unplugging the roku power source while TV was off and that simple fix WORKED 😮‍💨😮‍💨! I CANNOT THANK YOU ENOUGH 🙇🏻‍♀️🙇🏻‍♀️🙇🏻‍♀️🙇🏻‍♀️🙇🏻‍♀️🙇🏻‍♀️

[@mariasoniamoreno3433]

Thank you! I was ready to throw the remote away, but I just needed to remove the roku stick and insert it again. Gosh darn it! Also, I thought the batteries were good, but I was wrong.

[@paulinehunt4069]

No one seems to talk about the problem I am having. I have 2 tvs. Both roku remotes. When I first hooked them up things were fine. Have figured out how to fix most of my problems. We watch Spectrum most of the time. When we pull up the guide, the numbers were in sequence. My husband had hit the wrong buttons. I have tried resetting the remote. I can not get numbers in order.

[@jerryh2954]

I bought 4 - 4k units. All of the remotes do this! I tried repairing the units and they still don't work. I will be returning the units. Waist of NF time!

[@user-pj6ff4vn4i]

Thanks all I did is put new batteries in and repaired the device. Easy peasy!!

[@camillecolbert4881]

Thank u I was getting ready piss off at first I wanted to give up and throw this TV are sell it but u help me thank u so so much u are a life saver

[@winster1898]

Dont worry, it will happen again and again.

[@adonisguzman9822]

None of them work if your tv is not connected to internet

[@UpgradeGuyTech]

mm they should

[@portiaforde5980]

Thank you! I did it through the app on the phone as you suggested and it worked.

[@lindagadde7301]

The back sider of my remote is one piece so how do I get the back off. It has been impossible for me to remove it. It seems like Roku needs to go back to the old remote for changing batteries.

[@cathywillis6780]

Thank you 🙌🏻. Pushed that little button on remote and it worked.

[@Iloveflorida]

Worked like a charm! I didn't even need to install the app

[@dg-hughes]

The last update on my old 4630x Oct 18, 2023 Roku seemed to be what killed the remote it was fine before the update. Tried new batteries, tried batteries out and back in, tried unplug all cables to Roku box and wait 5 min then plug in, tried unplug Roku box plus batts out of remote then plug in box and wait then batts in remote, tried pressing remote reset (no light). I hate the remote on my phone it's not as nice as holding a physical remote. I wish I could revert the update on the Roku box it seems likely it somehow killed my remote same day update same day remote dies.

[@sherrybatson2451]

You didn't address the rechargeable remote. I've used a paperclip (straightened) to poke in the tiny hole under the red power button. This was a fix for a couple of days but it is back to no longer working. Any suggestions?

[@davidwallace3595]

Tip number one--unplug the Roku unit--worked. Simple relief.

[@UpgradeGuyTech]

Do we throw it in the garbage after it’s un plugged

[@dicksonfung9315]

Resetting the Roku device works for me! Thank you very much.

[@CB-ce6wt]

It worked!! I’ve been without watching tv n my bedrooms a week. Thanks so much ❤🎉

[@UpgradeGuyTech]

great!!!

[@user-mo3fj1cm9w]

None of these worked, it wasn't the remote, it was the Roku Stick. For what it costs to replace the remote itself ($29.95), you'll be better off replacing the entire setup for $10 more.....

[@ywalkins1]

Ihave a roku televion when go to.the tevison up then go to the problem the the screen disappeared what you next

[@teenprez]

Any advice to fix the remote constantly disconnecting?

[@chrisl3634]

Thank you. Now using my phone!! No need to buy another remote!! Best wishes - Chris

[@UpgradeGuyTech]

Thanks for watching

[@krisamontoya]

Thank you. I was able to fix my remote. I really appreciate the video.

[@maryannmata24]

How do you adjust the sound on the Roku app.

[@krimson4980]

I tried all of these. What worked was unplugging the device and taking the batteries out of the remote. Wait for 15 seconds and it worked😊

[@UpgradeGuyTech]

great!

[@rucing1011]

Thank you!!

[@randomphonkguy-nt4qm]

nothing worked for me like my remot absolutaly nothing works on it the green light doesent flash.

[@tonishea8541]

It worked. Just like you said. Thank you very much!

[@dls300]

Unplugging for a few minutes worked!

[@audreyfish3021]

The top of my room remote broke of do you know how I can fix it?

Thanks. That helped me, got it paired up.

[@ladytess23]

Thank you for the info. It helped me a lot!!

[@vivianaazevedo786]

Worked other ppl videos dint work but urs did.❤

[@Krazyhicchic_MFer]

Ok mine worked fine till I factory reset the TV and now the remote turns the TV on and off that's it. Stuck on pick language screene. I do not have the Roku box, and the remote does not have a pair button. Boy I messed up, this is the work TV. 😅 I have tried everything. I reset the TV because someone's random email was logged to the TV.

[@Leila-uf8hj]

Just Tried What I Said To Do TAKE batteries Out Cause I Hit The Mute Button And I Couldn't Get The Sound Back On U Saved My Movie 😅😊❤

[@dianalopez-wp8si]

Omg thank you sooooooooo much !!!!!!!

[@riffdigger2133]

All 4 of our Rokus are messed up. Nothing worked. Plug into AC for reset, everything tried. Unplugging the internet router is the only thing left for the 4 TVs. Yes, the App shows 3 devices but you would think remotes would work and not fail out. One TV has an internal Roku and that IS working. Going to a phone app to work a streaming service is insane. Buggy system. No faith in the technology.

[@Ratt2004]

Remote froze & would stop working at random. I took batteries out, didnt work. took out again, rebooted with the little button, still didn't work. unplugged source, redid it again, works fine for now.

[@UpgradeGuyTech]

sucks dang

[@mandyjoscraftcorner637]

Mine didn't have a little button so how do I pair it???

[@lisaworleyable]

Thank u...u ve. Saved me

[@drewward8272]

Gonna have to get a new remote

[@ajjones8122]

Ain't no batteries homie

[@wowo8053]

Lol😂

[@Shawn-ow1uo]

Every time I put the batteries in, it works for about 2 clicks. And then it shuts itself off and it won't connect to the TV anymore. Until I take the batteries out, put him back in good for 2 clicks. Then back out back in 2 clicks back out back in pain in the butt. My fingers are getting sore from taking the batteries out

[@slinkydonkey]

Thanks also for me changing the batteries helped

[@user-gl7uv9hm2o]

There are no batteries on this remote. How do I charge the batteries

[@DennisJWilson]

When I hit the volume button to raise the volume the volume keeps going up like a ghost turning the volume up

[@isauravalencia9562]

Some of my buttons on the remote are not working! Ugh

[@thebros-nu6cg]

is mine the only one that doesnt have batteries in my remote?

[@DougNetherton]

How does this fx stixky buttons?????????????

[@ClintRobison]

This is great, but the thing is, the remote shouldn't be doing this in the first place. I have to reset it nearly every night.

[@southerngal2245]

None of that worked and I’ve never seen batteries removed in such a reckless way.

[@johnjuza2659]

What if it's a rechargeable remote?

[@RedA4me]

Nothing worked for me, so I guess I need a new remote.

[@abidakhanom4934]

Thanks it worked

[@UpgradeGuyTech]

GREAT!

[@joeh.5592]

Thanks, buddy!

[@mactavares3869]

tried all of this, & now it doesn't work at all. these remotes are trash- only last a year. and, I never use the voice function.

[@AlmostReady504]

When my batteries Get Low my remote stops working. Trying to reboot somehow I wiped out my entire account and had to install everything from scratch like I had just set up Roku for the first time

[@byronrush9802]

Yep that's what happened to me so all my old apps will no longer available and I had to redownload some of them are non-existent now so they're lost

try new batteries and try the reset button on teh roku usb and make sure nothing is blocking the "remote receiver" and that little button on the rear of the remote might help pairing...good luck, nothing was working, so I said, ok new batteries and GD it that was it.

[@winston3338]

It's a little hard to take advice from a person who thinks the proper way to remove the battery's is to hold the remote in one hand, and smash it against your other hand until the battery's come flying out or you break the remote.

[@richardmckeever5828]

One of the replies told HOW to remove batteries. His advice MAY be helpful {haven't tried yet]
