Introduction

If you replace the batteries on your Roku 2 remote and it is still not operational the Dpad or the other buttons could be faulty. The Dpad on the remote is how you navigate the television. If this button falls off or is nonfunctional (i.e. not turning channels or letting you click on shows) the Roku remote may need a replacement Dpad. Follow the steps in this guide to replace these buttons.

    • Turn over remote and press down on tab to remove.

  2. t4rpReky4b36AOVx

    • Remove batteries

  3. J1vEMMBJPKRJVNqr

    • Place the new batteries into the remote. Make sure the positive terminal is facing the positive terminal of the slot. Similarly the negative terminal should be touching the negative terminal. If done right the batteries should be facing opposite directions of each other.

    • Insert Roku tab back on to its slot.

    No. They should be facing in the same direction, not the opposite direction. Roku does it differently than most other manufacturers.

So I tried every trick to get my remote to work (all the Youtube tricks). Found this, took the remote apart and got it to work with the cover off. New remote coming in two days but I just wanted to say thanks cause now I can watch TV while I wait for my new remote to arrive!!!!!!!!!!! I would not advise using the remote with the cover off, just sayin, but I am lol….

The OK button on my remote stopped working. I used these instructions to open it, cleaned the button contacts on the board with isopropyl alcohol, then very carefully reassembled it, taking care to observe the orientation of some plastic films carrying contacts for some of the buttons. It now works, though I lost a few bits of plastic opening it. This was a pain. Except for the savings in electronic waste, it was not worth the price of a new remote.
