I contacted customer support regarding issue with my roku remote. It kept on beeping constantly. The find my remote feature was going off continuously. The only way to stop it was to either press and hold the black button under the battery cover for few seconds and then get the remote re-paired with the device. This gave relief for maybe 10 to 15 minutes and the beeping would start again. The only way to completely stop it was to remove the batteries from the remote and then unplug the device, since otherwise the device would switch on even though it was switched off and the beeping would restart. I contacted customer care twice in the same day and we exhaustively tried all the possible troubleshooting options. The funniest ting was at the end of the second chat with customer representative, the support person finally advised to just chuck the device since it had hardware issues and then buy another device. It was funny since I have had so many customer support conversations for various products in the past but was never asked to just throw away the device since it had hardware troubles.
