New Roku not pairing…need how you resolved

I see thousands of complaints about their new Roku stuck during the pairing process, with every step taken (new batteries, reset remote, get closer to the Roku device, unplugged replug, get extender etc.)

I also see a support person getting their information and then creating a ticket for someone to help them.

can you just post what the end result was and how you got it fixed

Hi @Ejh4,

We'd like to take a closer look into this issue that you're having. Could you provide us with the serial number of your Roku device?

We'll wait for your response.

Thanks,

S0J73383AVF9. I’ve done every recommendation so far.  Awaiting for my extender in the mail as last resort. Wonder why no answers exist on what was done for others to resolve it

Hi @Ejh4,

Thank you for keeping us posted here in the Roku Community!
To test if the HDMI extender can resolve the problem you're having, we advise you to try that first. Try contacting us again through the Roku Community if that doesn't work.

If you need anything else, please let us know.

Best regards,

John

Got the extender and installed it, Che led batteries and fully charged, turn off and off TV, etc. “Pair your remote” screen won’t move.

All set. There should be instructions when people run into this issue to push the reset button on the usb 4k device not just remote. As the remote resetting did nothing. And I found a button on the Roku device itself behind the TV and that got it all working. 

thanks for reaching out
