Simple Remote under warranty, no fix works. No way to talk to Roku.

Why is there no way to obtain new remote when all fixes fail and still under warranty? Why not give us a phone number or online chat robot or something? We need service but it's hard to obtain it the way your site is set up. We love the product, just help us out when we need it okay?

      You name the fix for the simple remote for the Express Streaming Device and I have done it. Unplugged Roku, restart Roku, couldn't pair again but if you had ideas please tell me.  Removed/Replaced Batteries, New Batteries, no obstructions, router is in another room not interfering, cleaned remote sending area and Roku receiving area. This issue just began suddenly where the remote requires to be less than 2 feet from the Roku device (Express) and exactly pin pointing a certain tiny place for it to work. Any deviance of 1/10 of an inch from the perfect spot renders the remote useless. I most likely need a new remote. I've had a lot of Roku devices and upgrades for my 3 t.v.s. Nothing like this has ever happened before.
