Hi, IslandGirl242.
We acknowledge your feedback. Rest assured that we will help you find the best resolution possible.
Firstly, we appreciate you trying to perform all the possible troubleshooting steps suggested. Kindly provide us with additional information such as follows:
- Serial number of the Roku Express this remote was paired to:
- Is this the remote that came with your Roku device? If not, what specific Roku remote is this? This support article will help you identify your remote.
- When and where did you purchase this?
In the meantime, you may install the Roku mobile app as an alternative to your physical remote. This free application for iOS® and Android™ devices turns your mobile device into a control center for your Roku streaming player or Roku TV™ system. The Remote feature of the mobile app allows you to use your phone or tablet as a Roku remote.
You may refer to this support article dedicated to How to use the Roku mobile app as a remote.
Your response is highly anticipated.

CarlyMine is stuck on not the home screen but the scrolling scene on the SF waterfront. I cannot get it to do anything from there. Tried to go to home screen will not go, tried the play button between the forward and reverse and ok button. Nothing happens. Replaced batteries on the remote no luck bought new non voice remotes 2 for $10 on Amazon still no luck. Wanted to do a restart or reset but that wants you to go to home and settings, I cannot do that. Have had the current remote since we bought this LG tv from Best Buy a couple years ago and has worked fine since until a couple days ago. First it was periodic now its constant. Tom
