My daughter pulled the tag thing on the remote that does the pairing off before it was time so now the remote won't work and I'm unable to pair it to the stick, I pushed reset on the stick but it went right back to the pairing screen and I don't know what else to do please help me
That pull tab, on remotes that are supplied with replaceable batteries in place, just prevents the batteries from connecting so the batteries stay fresh until the tab is pulled.
If the remote is in pairing mode but you see no acknowledgement of this on the screen try pulling the Roku's power for a few seconds then plugging it back in.
