Voice remote not working. The pairing led does not come on and Roku does not see remote.

My voice pro remote pairing light will not come on when I try to pair the remote.  I tried all the steps in the pairing remote guides. I downloaded the Roku Mobile App and went into setup on the Roku but Roku doesn't see the remote. It is a battery powered remote and I put new batteries in it. I just bought this on eBay and it was supposed to work. The Roku works when I paired it to my other Roku Voice remote. The Roku is a Model 4800X and the remote is a Model RC-EL3. The person I bought it from said it was only used about 3 months. Is there anything way to do a factory reset on the remote?

I tried this. The problem is that the remote does not go into pairing mode. Nothing lights up on the remote. Is there a button combination that will reset the remote?
