New Roku 4K+ Remote not working properly

Jump to solution

Just recieved another ROKU 4K+ remote and the scroll down arrow is not working.  Reset and replaced original  batteries...no help.  (Blue light is on) Tried to operate remote 5, 10 and 15 feet as well as directly in front of the receiving unit and at a 45 degree angle (right and left) and no luck. Also, I am now only able to turn on my set with the remote and cant turn it off.  I've tried another remote from another room in the house and it works fine.  Any ideas how to troubleshoot further or get a replacement remote??
