How to Reset Firestick Remote if it's Not Working (Best Guide!)
3To reset a Firestick remote that’s not working and fix issues like unresponsiveness or connectivity using your phone (since you lost the old remote), follow these steps. This process also addresses potential battery drain concerns.
Quick Reset:
Remove the batteries from the Firestick remote.
Press and hold the Home button for 10 seconds.
Insert fresh, high-quality AAA batteries (preferably non-rechargeable alkaline, like Duracell or Energizer) in the correct orientation.
Wait 30 seconds, then test the remote by pressing buttons.
Set Up Fire TV App:
Download the Amazon Fire TV app (iOS/Android) on your phone.
Connect your phone to the same Wi-Fi network as your Firestick.
Open the app, select your Fire TV device, and enter the 4-digit code shown on your TV (if prompted).
Use the app’s virtual remote (swipe to navigate, tap to select).
Restart Firestick:
Unplug the Firestick, wait 30 seconds, and plug it back in.
Wait for the home screen to load before proceeding.
Re-pair the Remote:
If the reset doesn’t restore functionality, go to Settings, Controllers & Bluetooth Devices, Amazon Fire TV Remotes, Add New Remote in the app.
Press and hold the Home button on the remote for 10-20 seconds within 10 feet of the Firestick.
Look for an on-screen pairing confirmation or a blinking light on the remote (if applicable).
