Remote not working and seeing battery is low

Hello,

I just replaced my batteries to my Roku remote. I continue to see a "low battery" icon at the top of my screen and the remote does not work well anymore. Can someone please help me in getting this fixed?

Hi @tylert8 and @Rocko9999,

Thanks for letting us know about the issues you're running into with your remote.

Would you mind identifying the remote first so we can provide an accurate resolution? You can refer to this support article here. Also, what Roku device do you currently have? Lastly, how is he powering his Roku device?

With more specific details, we'll be able to assist further.

Thanks,

Re: Remote not working and seeing battery is low

Batteries are not rechargeable, but new alkaline. Problem started about 4 months ago and has gotten progressively worse. Steps have been hard reset Roku, unpair, repair remote, reboot Roku multiple times, new batteries. Nothing works. When unpairing/repairing the remote works for a few minutes before the battery icon starts appearing constantly.

My charger is doing nothing, no Green light. I have tried what seems like everything. All I get is low battery on screen. I have bought a new remote but it is different. I am sure it will pair to my Roku TV I just haven't used it yet.

Re: Remote not working and seeing battery is low

all 3 work on players.

i have all 3,just because i have 2 extra.

 

if you got the 'simple remote',you made a mistake.

it doesn't have RF and may not work on tv's.

with no RF,it doesn't need to be paired.
