The first one worked for me. I was hitting my remote like a punching bag but I never thought of cleaning the battery connectors 😅 Works like new now, thanks!
I watched many videos before clicking on this video. No one before said about scraping the connectors. I looked very closely at my connectors & they looked clean, like absolutely nothing was on it! But after scraping it with a small flathead screwdriver, then wiping it with a paper towel... viola! It worked. Thank you.
After watching many videos I thought my Amazon remote is dead and with heavy heart i started using mobile app though it's not user friendly but when I checked out your video and it helped me alot and my remote finally started working now 🥰❤️❤️ Thank you so much for sharing this tricks with us
Thank you for pointing out that it could be the chemicals that leaked out of the batteries, I didn't think that this was the issue for mine but when I checked, it surely was.
I didn't think there was much battery acid on the current to affect the remote but I took your advice, used a screwdriver, scraped and cleaned it and VOILA it worked! Thank you!
so glad i watched this and learned that the inside of remote was dirty from cheap batteries. cleaned it out and presto back in business ! thank you smartdnsproxy
Thanks for the help, dirty contact points on the remote :) a good way to check if the remote is working is record a video on your phone, check the top of the remote to see if the infrared is working when you press a button
Life saver. I tried everything but nothing worked. Checked my connections for the batteries and sure enough there was a small amount of residue on there. Wiped if off and bam! It works like new. 😊
Your first tip worked. I tried a few batteries and it didn't work then then I started looking at the connectors and wiping them a bit and making sure the batteries were pressing on them and that fixed it.
No other video on this mentioned corrosion. Lo & behold - by flashlight I found corrosion - scraped off, wiped w/alcohol q-tip and blew out w/canned air. Put in FRESH out of the pack batteries, not ones I THOUGHT were fresh - and IT WORKS! YAY YOU!
Hope this helps .. So I've been able to solve problems in the past via resetting, etc. This time, no joy. What I found Worked was to download the remote app just to use the 3 line = BUTTON to delete connected remote through systems connected remotes, then add it as a new remote. Also, if you have a spare fire remote, that should pair too using this process.
I F*CKING LOVE YOU!!! I just spent an hour on the phone with Amazon customer service, AFTER trying all of the reset steps I found online. Nothing worked. I simply disconnected the Fire TV power, took out the batteries and replaced them. Worked like a charm!! Thank you!!!
Did u get it working? I had this problem and the firestick worked on my TV but when I got a new TV the remote wouldn't work! It took me numerous videos witch didn't help b4 I realized that it was my TV, it automaticallyafe my TV remote as the main remote so I have to use my TV remote to work the firestick but as soon as I put it in my TV upstairs I use my firestick remote I think it's because it's smart TV it automatically switches
I use my remote speaker option for music on my tv all the time all day . The red light kept coming on when I tried to use the speak button , then it would say pair device - duuuh it already is - stupid thing lol I used ur instructions and what worked for mine was holding the home button for 10 sec .I have music again 👍Thanks sooo much you are a life saver😜🥰
Thank you sir I was loosing it with this issue, but scrapped and it worked! Even though your controller's battery connector looks clean, make sure you scrapp it!!!!!!!
April 23rd, 2023. I spent over a hour trying to figure why my remote wasn’t working. I knew nothing was wrong with my connections. It was until you mentioned the remote being dropped. My remote caddy fell off the wall and I never checked it because it is still practically new I barely watched my fire stick. So here it is a year later and your video is still useful. You saved me a lot of time and money Thank you.
Your tips really work my remote control was not working at all until I did what you said and it started working you saved me some money save me some money❤❤
So glad you led with the battery connector cleaning tip. I have a couple “faulty” remotes I was about to toss and they came fully back to life! Thank you!
@@kaliseh.1009 just scrape the flat connector with whatever is recommended. It’s been a while since I had to do it so I can’t remember what I used. But it was pretty obvious some buildup came off
Wow…I literally was unable to do anything with this remote and finally came to your video. I played with the connector after you said check for physical damage, but the batteries back in, and it worked…thank you!🎉
Thank you! You made my day 😊 pairing worked after powering off both fire stick and remote. Also, putting the remote very close to the fire stick helped pair it.
That worked, but the remote KEEPS doing it. I have new batteries and a pile of new batteries that I keep changing. It just won't turn ON my tv. Can the app turn on TV? I have ordered a new remote. Such a pain. GREAT VIDEO. Thank you! I do have a question please: How can you tell what Generation of Firestick or remote that you have?
nothing worked, don’t remember dropping it either but then you said there is an app for the remote and now i am accessing it through the app. thanks for saving my money.
An hour ago I selected to watch Die Hard With a Vengeance on Amazon Prime using Fire Stick 4K 3rd gen. The movie came on and a minute later, the picture turned a 60 inch screen into millions of tiny pixels and I thought my TV just died! The Fire Stick remote stopped working at the same time of pixilation. Odd that the Fire Stick remote's volume and power functions worked but nothing else!?? Put fresh batteries in and I followed your instructions and everything was good again right up until I selected to watch the Die Hard movie again with same pixilation and remote problem, so I repeated your procedure and we're good again! I didn't try a third viewing of the Die Hard movie, I don't wanna be stressed out again! I've been using the Fire Stick TV for 5 weeks without any problems until Die hard!
Thank you so much the app is working on my phone. I can't seem to buy just a remote. I need to buy another firestick 4k max as well. Will the remote work on my current firestick 4k max.
It's working.. i cleaned my remote on the battery holdings .. afterward it started working.. i used a nailpolish thinner to clean it.. not recommended to use water..
After trying everything he said I was thinking of buying a new one then I turned off the firestick and took batteries out for 5mins+ put it back on and it worked 😂👍🏾
Bro, you're a genius! I've cleaned the contacts and it's working now! I was about to buy a new remote after trying everything else with no success.
I just did that now it works lol 😂 cleaning battery contacts
You my freind are a legend!!!. My fix was scraping the connector with a screwdriver. No other UA-cam video suggested to do this.Thank you so much!.

Yep....I scraped the both areas within the battery area with a metal object and it worked afterwards
Hey man u r a wonderful guy, I just cleaned battery terminals with a small screwdriver, It worked. I have no words, u r genius

What I found Worked was to download the remote app just to use the 3 line = BUTTON to delete connected remote through systems connected remotes, then add it as a new remote.
