Roku Voice Remote Pro Stopped Working

I know OP has solved their issue, but I wanted to share some relevant info in case it might help someone.

I bought my remote in Nov 2022 & have had increasingly frequent issues as of 3-4 months ago. The same as OP, where only limited buttons work out of nowhere. I've had the voice functions completely stop working. I've had severe lag from pressing buttons to the TV responding. I've also had my TV completely freeze & restart due to the lag from the remote. I've also had the battery drain excessively fast only to then last for weeks on the next charge without any change in use. I've also had the remote not charge with a charger plugged into it.

I have never had these issues with the basic/non-voice remote that came with my TV. Maybe it is related to the IR vs wireless connection? Maybe not.

Regardless, I have always been able to fix the issues with the voice remote via one of the following ways:

• Fully restarting the TV.

• Holding down the button on the back of the remote (sometimes in the pairing screen, sometimes during whatever I'm watching).

• To make the remote respond to a charging cable, I hold down the back button with the cable attached until the green light blinks & the TV shows the charging message.

This is all super annoying & we shouldn't have to deal with it, but hopefully this helps.
