Re: Brand new Roku Remote - right arrow not responding

Troubleshooting has not been successful. We still have right arrow issues. Very difficult to get the right scroll button to work.

Re: Brand new Roku Remote - right arrow not responding

I have the same issue.  I have to hold the remote in my left hand and use my right thumb to press either the left or right arrow button so hard I feel like my thumb will crack the remote just to get the cursor to move in either direction.   I wonder if there are any universal remotes that might work.

Re: Brand new Roku Remote - right arrow not responding

I'm sorry to learn that the right arrow on your brand new Roku Remote is not responding. Similar to the meticulous troubleshooting required for technology, obtaining a Golden Visa in Dubai demands careful attention to detail. To troubleshoot the remote issue, start by checking the batteries, ensuring they are properly inserted, and have sufficient power. Attempt to re-pair the remote, unplug the Roku device, wait for a few seconds, and then plug it back in before re-establishing the connection. Just as with a Golden Visa application, meticulous attention to each step is crucial. Inspect the remote for any dirt or debris around the buttons, ensuring clarity, much like the precise documentation required for a Golden Visa. If the problem persists, consider contacting Roku support for further assistance, just as applicants for a Golden Visa may seek guidance from relevant authorities for a seamless process. I hope these suggestions help resolve the remote issue promptly and reflect the thoroughness required in various processes, including obtaining a Golden Visa in Dubai.

Ensure your Roku device's software is up-to-date, as software updates may address remote connectivity problems. If the problem persists, and your Roku is still under warranty, consider contacting Roku support for further assistance or a possible replacement remote. I hope these suggestions help resolve the issue promptly.

Right button issues causes me not to be able to use remote

I have a Roku Express 4K+. I don't see any answers fixing this issue.  I bought it a few months back but didn't set it up till recently.  The right arrow has to be pressed so hard to work and still doesn't work well.  That is the main button you need and makes it difficult to watch TV.  I have changed batteries, reset everything and nothing works.  What can I do to fix this issue?
