Now push your thumbs to the left as you push the rest of the remote with left hand to right. Remote goes in one direction as the battery door goes in the other direction.
I’m starting to think my remote is just jammed or stuck, because it won’t move no matter how much I slide and pry the panel...
just to clarify, there are no external buttons I should be pressing in order to make it slide open, right?
you’re saying I just need to push it at the three lines that are supposed to act as a grip?
Yes the three lines are simple to give you a grip. and no there are no buttons to release the battery door. 😞
- makaiguy6 years agoCommunity Streaming ExpertYou need to push inward on the three lines to actually distort the back a bit to make it release. While pushing in, try to slide the cover toward the end of the remote (to the left as shown in your image).

I purchased a new Roku with remote, to replace the one I have had for years; I've tried for a weekk-and-a-half to open the remote battery compartment cover (and like another person said, I have scratched it up trying, and it WILL NOT OPEN!! How can I exchange it for one that will open?

Thanks for the post.
Please send me a PM with your Roku account email address, and include the serial number/device ID on the Roku device along with a summary of the issue you are experiencing. I'll be able to assist you further from there.

My new Roku remote has a one piece back; not two like the old one. How do I get it open?
