Thank you, accidently put my remote in the wash and needed to open it to dry it this helped so much
My son wasted water in my roku remote I saw your video followed the instructions and it worked like a charm thankyou for this video
Excellent
Vern I have a problem lol I ordered this remote with the volume but it's a ruko box hooked to the TV so when my son presses the volume button it tryst to pair to the TV then the remote won't work so I'm taking out the battery's because it won't pair how do I stop the volume button to stop trying to pair up with the TV it's driving me crazy 😂my son is autistic and gets mad 😡 I have to turn the TV off and on then he presses the dang volume again ugh help please
THANK YOU. Couldn't get the back off my remote. You make it so easy.
Thank you!!!! Ugh... my 5 year old daughter thought it was a good idea to stick the end of the controller in her mouth while she had a mouth full of juice..... then wondered why the tv kept pausing and playing over and over.... just got the controller open and yeah the board was all wet.... going to clean it with alcohol, let it dry and hope for the best. Thanks for the video!! I subscribed to you!! Much love from a mom in Canada👍
I am so happy the video was useful to you Jess. Yes It should work fine after. Good Luck.
Well did it work? My 1 year old did this and now I'm wondering if my warranty will cover the cost foe a new remote
Nice job. Mine has no screws, too. Remote always accumulate crude over the years and button contacts can get dirty, too. This is the way to give your remote a tune-up!
I appreciate the comments. Thank you
When I did the hand twist ,I broke the plastic 😮, I got it back to work properly , at least it was worth it, thanks !!
I found the first one and a half minute demonstrating how to open the battery cover and remove the batteries extremely helpful!
Thank you for the comments, I am glad it helped.
Thanks!!! The Man About the Place spilled chip dip all over his second Roku remote this month. Took a minute and I held my breath a couple of times during the process but it saved me $30!
Awesome!😀
Thank you! My arrow buttons weren't working. If I pressed the right button it would go in all directions; down, left, ok. This was so easy and now I don't have to replace my remote again.
Dude, thank you so much for your detailed video! You really helped me out! ♥️😊
2 hours....after watching this 2 minutes. Thank you!
Awesome. Good to hear
WOW!! Worked perfectly without scratching it at all... Thank you
Awesome!
you are a hero. you saved me alot of cash
Hello, thanks for this, I just spilled a bottled water on my Roku remote! This may help, I just watched a video where the guy sprayed the contacts ( where the batteries go ) with WD40, this allowed him to take the outside shell apart in seconds. He then used a short handed flathead to pry it open.
Thanks!! was able to fix my volume control
I spilled a chipotle bowl all over my remote and it stopped working. This did the trick. Thanks!
Awesome!
Thank you. My man. Big love back at you.
God bless, thank you for helping me
Thank you so much. This was very helpful!! ❤🙏🏽🙏🏽
You are so welcome!
Thanks for an informative video. Worked like a charm.
The ballistic battery launch was awesome. 😂
Great.
Thank you! I was able to open up and clean it.
This was Helpful! Thank you so much! Its a lot of work to record, edit, and post these kinds of helpful videos, and I am grateful. I learn visually and really need to SEE how it comes apart or goes together! Keep it Up!
It is for Subscribers and commentators like you why I do it. Thank you and I am glad it helped.
Thanks Brother. This helped a lot! Hope you are doing well. Kind regards & blessings to you.
THANK you, Vern!!!
Thanks Vern for the super helpful video!
Excellent
Thank you very much :)
Thank you!
I pried it it open from the bottom of the battery side and worked my way up gently.
Turns out my remote had some corrosion build up on battery coils so I cleaned it with rubbing alcohol and cue tips, now it’s working again like new
Thanks for the help!
Good Stuff! Great move with the alcohol.
Thanks!
Thanks, I washed my remote with a wet wipe then half the buttons stopped working. I couldnt tell if it even came apart at all but after watching the video I wasnt as worried breaking it and got it apart cleaned and working perfect again...
That is good to hear.👍
Thank you this helped me fix it but I also broke it more in the process I yanked it off and broke the back but nothing some gorilla glue couldn't fix lmao💯
To my surprise it actually worked
Thanks pal my headphone jack was broken pulled it apart and found out it was broken so I just used a bit of super glue to put the piece back and it worked again.
Nice. Thanks for the comment
thank you!
Thank you for your comment. I appreciate it.
Excelent!!!
Awesome! Thanks You, and welcome
Thanks sir
Thank you for your comments, I appreciate it
TY!
Thank u
I found an even easier way to open it up that has less potential to damage the printed circuit board. Use a flat head screw driver to wedge it starting from the bottom of the remote inside where the batteries were. Once the screw driver is wedged in, you can start wedging around the board from the bottom up, but keep your wedging symmetrical, such that if you wedge the left side, wedge the right side also before going up further. This will reduce the likelihood of breaking anything. Another thing to keep in mind when doing this is that you don't want the screw driver to go too deep into the remote because you risk dislodging parts that shouldn't be.
I used this method and cleaned the grease off my remote with dish soap, a toothbrush and water. Then dried it all with paper towel and air. And now its back to new working order. Remember not to get water on the side that has the electrical components (resistors, capacitors, chips, etc), because the chips could trap moisture for a long time.
P.s. I'm an electrical engineer
Yes, very important not to damage any internal parts. I agree with the procedure.
I doubt it because I invented electrical engineering 😁😘
Tyy I literally almost broke the Roku remote replacement it was free from temu farmland I got it in the 150 point u can get like 70-150 points a day but it’s only one time u can get it but it’s good remote and I tried to open the back part in the sides I tried to open it with the line the side of the remote to get the back part out and the back part was like coming off but I tried to do the right side or left with my hand not a nife And it still don’t wanna come off it just stayed hard and I had some scratches in the remote and the back piece came up a couple times but than I let go this was after trying to find a video than after I failed getting the video I tried that and than saw this video just to push down open up a remote lmao I just needs the back piece for the batteries but thx and pray before going to bed amen bye amen pray ❤😂🎉😢😮😅😊😊❤❤❤❤❤🤲 🙏
Do you think if I take that black piece off the front it will make it my remote work better because Roku remote signal sucks
GGGRRRR!!!! YT keeps deleting my thank !you and props mid post!
Thank you!
Thank you for doing this video it was very helpful for my rechargeable remote that was apparently dead on arrival. A couple months after getting the remote I needed to charge it but it never charged. I think the battery inside is dead so with your handy tutorial I was able to get inside my remote but I'm still not sure what's wrong with it. Anyone else know info about the Roku voice remote pro dead battery inside them? I've seen many users say their remote will not charge either. I would love to salvage the remote because the shortcut buttons for netflix, hulu, and Disney I actually have so I would love five shortcut buttons with the two programmable as well perhaps I actually use but the remote will not charge.
If anyone has any good info on The voice remote pro rechargeable battery not charging and how I can easily replace it or if I even can please let me know. I'm trying to find research on this but Roku is such a popular brand name it's hard to find accurate information about this specific problem. It was hard enough just to find this video. The main problem of getting inside of it when it has no screws has been solved but what do I do from here to change or replace this dead battery. Please help if anyone can.
EDIT/UPDATE:
An hour after seeing this video I cracked my remote open, had to look around, all the connections seem to be fine but it still will not charge. The battery seems to be stuck with adhesive, padding etc to the board of the remote. Not exactly sure what kind of battery it is. My completely remove whatever adhesive it is taking the risk open to pinpoint what exact battery type is needed. Not sure if it's proprietary or one that can be replaced from Amazon or something. I would still love to know what exact battery type it is if anybody has this information. At the moment it's looking like no hope but in the next few days I will probably get around too investigating its battery more at the risk of irreplaceably damaging the board. It's a coin flip at this point whether I'll be able to acquire enough info about the correct replacement battery needed. Hopefully it's printed somewhere on the actual battery if I can get it unstuck from the board.
I saw a lot of people posting that the battery would not charge and was dead completely. I know many others have had the same problem. Apparently they had a bad batch of batteries but I've not seen anyone post if there's a way to fix this. Most people probably give up scene no visible way to open the remote cover. People like Us however and figured out a way, still need more info on that battery though.
I am glad the video helped, I have not yet worked with the rechargeable one.
Tried what this video said; the little end never lightly opened to pry open before the remote snapped in half. Should had read the comments first; they give some safer ideas to open it.
My 5 year old put my remote in his chocolate milk. Your procedure let me clean it with vinegar. Thank you.
Thanks I got drunk and threw my remote at the wall and forgot to put one of the parts in
You don’t really have to twist it, just try pushing a thumb tack in the spot he said at 2:13 and then screwdriver after.
ok
Mine has no arrows 🤷♀️
My Roku remote is not powering up even with new batteries
I'm sorry to hear it. I can suggest to check that they are in correct, or try the batteries somewhere else to make sure they are not expired. Then I would try cleaning it. If it is still a no-go, Maybe someone can add a suggestion please.
Remote chews through batteries one pair a month without cleaning.
You've got to be fuckin kidding. How's an older person supposed to do this?
Snapped my remote in half
Dude, take the back off, remove the batteries, use a screwdriver at the bottom, work the two pieces loose with your hands. How hard is that? I was done in less than 30 seconds but still watched your weak attempt at instructional eptitude. I accidentally washed mine with my clothes. LOL. Thanks for the good video. No subs from me though 👍
His video was inept but you washed your remote with your clothes? 😂😂
Thanks man
LOL, I'd have that thing in the TRASH,lol,lol🤣🤣🤣
LOL. You may have a point, but so far it's still working fine. Separate but related I have a 55" tv I was going to trash 2 years ago. i went inside changed 1 LED strip and I am still enjoying that tv, you never know. I will post that video soon because someone may need it. I hope to post something that one day can help you in some way. Thank you for the comments. I really appreciate it.
@@vernthejackofalltrades228 I can't fight too long with anything!
