    Hi jacktp,

    Greetings from the Roku Community!

    We appreciate you sharing your concerns with your Roku remote that's unresponsive. We're happy to help you. Please follow these steps so you can put your Roku device and voice remote in pairing mode:

    1. Remove the power cable from your Roku device.
    2. Wait at least 5 seconds.
    3. Re-connect the power cable.
    4. Wait for your streaming device to power up and the Home screen to appear on your TV screen.
    5. Put your voice remote into pairing mode within 30 seconds of seeing the Home screen on your TV.
    6. Ensure that your Roku remote is charged, or remove the batteries, and then put it back in if it is not rechargeable.
    7. If your remote has a pairing button (found at the back of the remote), press and hold the pairing button for 5 seconds or until the status light begins to flash.
    8. If your remote does not have a pairing button, press and hold both the Home and Back buttons for 5 seconds or until the status light begins to flash.
    9. If the status light does not flash, try replacing the batteries or charging the remote.
    10. Wait 30 seconds while the remote establishes a connection with your streaming device.

    If the issue persists, we recommend trying to connect your Roku device to an alternative wireless network, such as a mobile hotspot, to see if you are still experiencing the same issue. If you see something different, can you please let us know what you are seeing?

    We look forward to hearing from you and looking closely into this issue.

    All the best,

    Chel
