    It was a gift, so I'm not sure where it was bought. He thinks it was Walmart or Best Buy -- likely a in-person purchase. It was activated in November 2021.

    Hi there Penkc​

    It seems you're having an issue with your Roku remote. We'd like to take a closer look at it.

    What Roku model and remote do you have? What appears on your TV when turned on? Which troubleshooting steps have you tried?

      I have the 3930X (Roku Express) with a simple remote. When the remote stopped working I changed the batteries. No luck. When I reset the receiver, the language menu comes up, but the remote does not work. I've tried it holding the home and back buttons together for 5 seconds and then again for 20 seconds. I've switched the HDMI port, no luck. I also tried it on a different TV and had the same trouble.

        Thanks for the extra info! Penkc​ 

        Is this the Roku remote included with your Roku device during purchase? If so, could you please share when and where you bought this?
