Streaming Stick4K and Voice Remote Setup Pairing Issue
I am having the same/similar issue!! But I have a Streaming Stick.
Re: Re: Remote not working and re-pairing light does not come on
I did all of the recommended troubleshooting suggestions from this community and through ROKU site for my voice remote but the remote still does not work and any attempt the re-pair is not working as the light does not come one/did not blink.
Summary: Came home, TV was on home screen, remote not working. Any buttons I pressed, nothing happened. Will not turn on or off TV, nothing. I have a Streaming Stick 4K - just got in May 2024. I am using the USB power cable with long range wifi receiver built in to the cord which connects to the stick.
I did all the trouble shooting:
- Checked the batteries, and replaced them (reset remote) just in case
- Checked my wireless connection (router is not the issue)
- I do not have an HDMI extender in the event that there are problems with the remote due to "HDMI interference" but once I have all of the info I need (Device ID (don't have atm), serial ID# (X02500XWK08K), Model# (3820CA2), I can order one to see if that fixes the problem...in future. But that doesn't help me right now.
- I rebooted my devices
*** I did this several times. ONE TIME, when I went to re-pair the remote (after holding down home and back button on remote for 5 sec), the light blinked green for a moment... then nothing happened. I waited for the two to pair, but nothing. Still buttons don't work, remote not paired.
Consecutive tries after repeating the process did not yield any light blinking...So...
- I did a factory reset. The opening screen following the reset was to re-pair the remote but because the remote is not working, I cannot select the language or settings, etc for the next steps that they are asking. When I take the batteries out, put them back in and press the home and back button for 5 seconds, nothing happens. No lights blink. So the remote won't re-pair.
Also...I cannot access the Device ID (don't have original packaging now). The Serial Number and Model number I found by downloading ROKU app and looking at my account and looking online where I bought the device. I cannot go to: Settings > System > About on my TV because the remote doesn't work!
So, what do I do now? Is there something else I can try or do I need a new remote and if so, is it under warranty still? I registered it online May 09, 2024. Who do I contact to get a new remote - will warranty cover it through Roku or where do I buy a new one?
Can you respond here but also to my private email so I do not miss a response?
I will add, I also tried plugging in my stick to another HDMI port with the same results.
This would be the second time since May 2024 that I have had to factory reset my Roku Streaming Stick 4K. The first time was not a remote issue. I thought it was a router issue and had a new one installed and an ethernet cable now runs from my TV to my router, so I am not sure why the remote isn't working (not connecting to the wifi?) and won't re-pair
