Fix 1: Restart Your Device
Fix 2: Replace Battery
The battery of the Fire TV stick will likely run out if you binge-watch TV series or movies that your content provider releases. It is normal for the batteries to run out of juice quickly after a few weeks of extensive use throughout the day. If all other troubleshooting methods, such as unpairing and pairing again, do not work, it is best to keep a set of batteries on hand to replace them quickly. There’s probably a problem with the battery. There have been cases when the chemical residue from the battery leaked out and corroded the point on the remote where it is connected to the battery. Although this is very rare, it does happen occasionally. In most cases, if it’s an old spare battery, maybe it leaked acid from the remote because it had been rendered useless for a long time. It is important that you remove the batteries carefully if you see this happening. The residues should be safely cleaned if they have leaked onto the surface of the connector. Replacing it with fresh batteries is the next step. You should now be able to use the Fire TV Stick Remote.
Fix 3: Correctly Align the Batteries
There is no need to make a big deal out of this issue; it is one of the most simple issues that people face. It is important to set the batteries according to their polarity. In other words, the battery has two positive and negative ends. However, the positive (+) end of the battery needs to be connected to the positive (+) end of the Fire TV Stick remote, and the negative (-) end should be connected to the negative (-) end. Ensure that the battery is tight while fixing the battery in the remote.
Fix 4: Remove Any Obstructions
There may be no wires between your Firestick remote and the Firestick, but it still needs a place to connect to the Firestick. A game console or pile of books should be able to access your remote or Firestick. If there are nearby devices sending off radio signals, such as Wi-Fi routers or microwave ovens, move them as well. You should keep your remote and Firestick separate for the best results.
Fix 5: Unpair And Reconnect The Remote
Your remote’s connection to the Firestick needs to be refreshed if the batteries aren’t the problem and you’ve got a clear line of sight. Perhaps unpair and repairing the remote from your Firestick will fix the firestick remote not working. You should be able to repair your Firestick with the remote, which should make it work again.
Fix 6: Reset your Firestick
There’s always a chance your Firestick may be the one causing problems, even if most connection issues stem from the remote. Alternatively, if none of the steps above worked, you can try a factory reset. It will be erased of all its data after factory resetting, returning it to its original state. Therefore, you will need to re-download all of your apps and log in again. Even though it is unpleasant, it is also a great way to fix problems. Wait a few minutes for the device to reset. Once you have finished, set it up the way you would if you were starting over.
