My remote has done this since the supplied batteries went dead. Every 2 weeks for 8 months I have to replace the batteries if not sooner. I have done the steps many times and then did the tech help and their help was I need to buy a new remote control or a new TV. I'm beginning to think this is something that is programmed into the remote to get folks to buy a new remote and some to buy a new TV thinking it's the TV not the remote.

I do have another fire stick on another tv and that one isn’t fault, yet

The only solution that saved my physical remote was that I downloaded the Android FireTV App and used it as a temporary remote to navigate the UI and Factory Reset the Firestick. After that I was able to re-pair my physical remote to the firestick. I was trying to use the Firestick using a HDMI switcher box. This was a hardware bug that was triggered inside the firestick and stopped my physical remote from pairing or being reset. I was on the verge of opening it up and making a self repair attempt. But wisdom prevailed on me and I thought of doing a factory reset as a last resort. I had hardly used this stick in the last 2 years.

I contacted amazon as suggested. I gave him an explanation of everything I did. The rep asked... "Have you tried fresh batteries?....." Long story short, after a bit of back and forth he agreed to send me a free replacement remote. Hopefully Amazon has fixed the issue and I won't have to go through this again.

It worked for a while then I started to get the “low battery “warning. This is a NEW remote. I didn’t even use the amazon batteries, I used new energizer ones. I have tried all the tricks unplugging the fire stick, resetting my remote, holding down the home button, holding down the “three” buttons down together. Restated my fire stick, seriously these are just comical things that they are trying to get us to do. Can anyone help???
