Re: Flashing red light on Roku Remote RCB1R.

Jump to solution

I have a camera phone, so I recorded the flashing red light as proof that it was flashing red.  At least one Tech support person didn’t believe me. “ It’s not supposed to flash red.” I tried charging it to full, 100% and that did not make it change. I let the battery run down to about 80%. That did not fix it.  Then I charged it back to 100%. That Did not fix it. I have three Roku ultras. I connected it to my bench, spare ultra and white the remote and wiped the spare ultra.  Then I went back to my new Roku ultra from May 15, And once paired, it still flashed red.

I have no answers for you except contact Tech Support and ask for a replacement RCB1r. 

I received a replacement RCB1r. It is only flashed red twice, and only for a short period of time.  Although it’s the new ultra has a screen window that says pair the remote because of voice command issues (I’m paraphrasing) It was six times a show with the old remote, but maybe once or twice a day with a new remote.  

As many times as I paired the old remote and wiped the old remote and wiped an ultra with the remote connected, nothing helped the old remote.

I’m still having problems with the remote that I received with the ultra on May 15.  thank you for the reminder. I should get that resolved too.

My remote flashes red all the time too even at 100 percent charge.  Is there still no fix for this?

Thank you for posting here in the Roku Community, @dwaltarnold.

Thanks for letting us know about your Roku remote issues. We'd be happy to suggest some steps to help you. 

Can you please confirm if this is happening on your Roku Voice Remote Pro (2nd Edition) as well? If so, we suggest rebooting it to see if this helps. Press and hold the Back and Home buttons simultaneously for about 20 seconds

Please keep us posted on how it goes so we can continue assisting you from there. 

Best regards,
Carly
