Re: New Roku remote right arrow not responding

Not sure I would be able to do that without causing more damage. Would be helpful if Roku just fixed the issue. Thanks for your help, though.

Re: New Roku remote right arrow not responding

Hi, @daniellesara22 

Greetings here in the Roku Community!

Thank you for getting in touch. We want to assure you that we will help you with your issues regarding the right button on your Roku remote. Before we proceed, we would appreciate it if you could provide us with more specific information, such as:

  1. Serial number of the Roku player this remote is paired to.
  2. Is this the remote that came with that device? If not, kindly specify if this is a Voice Remote Pro or Voice Remote Pro (2nd edition).
  3. When and where did you purchase this?

We also suggest, resetting your Roku remote by pressing and holding the Back and Home buttons simultaneously for about 20 seconds

Thanks,
Jharra

Re: Brand new Roku Remote - right arrow not responding

My right arrow on my remote doesn’t work properly, and my volume up button turns off the tv.  I’ve tried resetting, new batteries, and unplugging.  Nothing had worked.  It is only a month old.  Just started happening today.

Re: New Roku remote right arrow not responding

I've done all of this and it did not help. I also replied to your email with all of the information you asked for almost two weeks ago and did not receive a response. I've just downloaded all of my apps to my Samsung TV and will stream others from my phone to TV. Will never buy another Roku product again. This is the second remote that I've had this issue with and Roku seems unwilling to fix the issue. I also filed a report with the BBB with links to both threads demonstrating that dozens of consumers are having this issue and only getting an AI-bot response with no real resolution other than to keep replacing the faulty remotes at continued cost to them. -Danielle

Re: New Roku remote right arrow not responding

My remote's RIGHT arrow button is not working. Hard and sticky. 

There is nothing related to pairing up the TV or any wireless setting. It's a purely physical issue. I took apart the remote and found out the volume buttons are interfering with the RIGHT arrow as they're built next to each other. 

This is a total failure design. ROKU should issue a recall and a free replacement.

Re: Brand new Roku Remote - right arrow not responding

Same here.  The right arrow button requires you to push really hard to work.  It seems to be a faulty thing for many people.   Roku should be replacing them for free for everyone as it's not our fault Roku made a defective product!

This is my 2nd remote, I shouldn't have to buy another one.

Roku needs to fix this defect and stop making defective ones!
