First thing I would try would be to restart the Roku by pulling its power plug for a few seconds, then plugging it back in, to get it to restart.
Makaiguy,
I did that again, and it did nothing. The system states that my remote is set up as a gaming remote (RC03) and cannot be used as a TV remote. This changed the first time I unplugged the Roku when the remote would not respond after I put fresh batteries into it.
Does anyone know how to change a remote to the TV version as it used to be?
jpk17, the remote that came with Roku 3 devices is a gaming remote (it has A & B buttons) and doesn't have TV controls, so you can't set it up to control a TV. I think you're barking up the wrong tree here suspecting there's something wrong with your remote. I think it's time to factory reset your Roku 3. If that doesn't work, given its age, it may just be time to retire it. If you link it to your original Roku account all of your apps should be restored.
