Roku remote draining batteries and now not working

Jump to solution

Tried the fix's Express 4K+ bought in Dec. 2022 kept draining the batteries. tried the fix's with no results - Just popped out the batteries. Slowly everything else stopped working. Tried pairing and all troubleshooting suggestions.  Now it's dead even with new batteries put in twice just to make sure. How do I  contact someone at Roku to get a replacement?  FYI switched to Roku from Dish, yes a few glitches but still SO MUCH BETTER!  Could someone tell me how to contact a person at Roku?  Thanks so much!

Hi @jillprock

Thanks for your post. 

Sorry to hear about your experience with the Roku Voice Remote. To clarify, you have tried all the suggested troubleshooting steps here: Fix your remote. If you still have no luck after the steps, kindly send us here your Roku device serial number to which the remote is paired. Its serial number is printed on the bottom or back of the device. 

Once we have this information, I'll be able to pass it along to our Support team who can assist you further.

Don’t Bother, all they do is dance around and keep you on the phone for more than an hour talking about everything of my Roku 4K stick, I tried everything along the way. The batteries go dead in a max 3 days, you read in the forums that they are working on a fix and then at the end “OOPS YOUR REMOTE IS ONLY COVERED FOR SIX MONTHS. Go out and buy the $30 plug in remote. I have 3 Rokus and will be going back to Amazon

Sorry for the delay in response, just got out of hosp. yesterday.  Thank you so much for responding to me. I did follow all the suggestions, steps etc. and it still won't work. I paired my Roku 3 remote with very limited use for now just to get by.  The serial number is 3226001238. Thanks.

Could you provide us with the serial number of your Roku device associated with the affected remote? This can be found at the back or underneath the player itself. We'll be able to further assist you from there.

I talked to Roku again and was told a new remote would be sent out. That was over a month ago, just text with them today and was told the remote had shipped, I don’t know when, but they said I would receive it in a couple of days. We will see.
