Vern I have a problem lol I ordered this remote with the volume but it's a ruko box hooked to the TV so when my son presses the volume button it tryst to pair to the TV then the remote won't work so I'm taking out the battery's because it won't pair how do I stop the volume button to stop trying to pair up with the TV it's driving me crazy 😂my son is autistic and gets mad 😡 I have to turn the TV off and on then he presses the dang volume again ugh help please

Nice job. Mine has no screws, too. Remote always accumulate crude over the years and button contacts can get dirty, too. This is the way to give your remote a tune-up!

thank you i spilled tea on mines and the roku remote buttons was like pressing on its own so thank you

Thank you, accidently put my remote in the wash and needed to open it to dry it this helped so much

Thank you!!!! Ugh... my 5 year old daughter thought it was a good idea to stick the end of the controller in her mouth while she had a mouth full of juice..... then wondered why the tv kept pausing and playing over and over.... just got the controller open and yeah the board was all wet.... going to clean it with alcohol, let it dry and hope for the best. Thanks for the video!! I subscribed to you!! Much love from a mom in Canada👍

Well did it work? My 1 year old did this and now I'm wondering if my warranty will cover the cost foe a new remote

i love videos like this cause this is exactly what i needed. you're great .

THANK YOU. Couldn't get the back off my remote. You make it so easy.

Thanks helped out, There is actually an open slot at the bottom end of the battery compartment , its easier if you start there and pry your way up towards the front of the front. Much easier.

Thank you at first I thought “man I’m weak I can’t do that” then it popped off just takes a little patience I washed my remote in the washing machine when I went to do my bedding it came with it lol so now I’m just going to wipe it off in case detergent residue and let it dry and hope it still works

2 hours....after watching this 2 minutes. Thank you!

Hello, thanks for this, I just spilled a bottled water on my Roku remote! This may help, I just watched a video where the guy sprayed the contacts ( where the batteries go ) with WD40, this allowed him to take the outside shell apart in seconds. He then used a short handed flathead to pry it open.

Thank you! My arrow buttons weren't working. If I pressed the right button it would go in all directions; down, left, ok. This was so easy and now I don't have to replace my remote again.

Thanks!! was able to fix my volume control

Tyy I literally almost broke the Roku remote replacement it was free from temu farmland I got it in the 150 point u can get like 70-150 points a day but it’s only one time u can get it but it’s good remote and I tried to open the back part in the sides I tried to open it with the line the side of the remote to get the back part out and the back part was like coming off but I tried to do the right side or left with my hand not a nife And it still don’t wanna come off it just stayed hard and I had some scratches in the remote and the back piece came up a couple times but than I let go this was after trying to find a video than after I failed getting the video I tried that and than saw this video just to push down open up a remote lmao I just needs the back piece for the batteries but thx and pray before going to bed amen bye amen pray ❤😂🎉😢😮😅😊😊❤❤❤❤❤🤲 🙏

I found an even easier way to open it up that has less potential to damage the printed circuit board. Use a flat head screw driver to wedge it starting from the bottom of the remote inside where the batteries were. Once the screw driver is wedged in, you can start wedging around the board from the bottom up, but keep your wedging symmetrical, such that if you wedge the left side, wedge the right side also before going up further. This will reduce the likelihood of breaking anything. Another thing to keep in mind when doing this is that you don't want the screw driver to go too deep into the remote because you risk dislodging parts that shouldn't be. I used this method and cleaned the grease off my remote with dish soap, a toothbrush and water. Then dried it all with paper towel and air. And now its back to new working order. Remember not to get water on the side that has the electrical components (resistors, capacitors, chips, etc), because the chips could trap moisture for a long time. P.s. I'm an electrical engineer

My 5 year old put my remote in his chocolate milk. Your procedure let me clean it with vinegar. Thank you.

Thank you for doing this video it was very helpful for my rechargeable remote that was apparently dead on arrival. A couple months after getting the remote I needed to charge it but it never charged. I think the battery inside is dead so with your handy tutorial I was able to get inside my remote but I'm still not sure what's wrong with it. Anyone else know info about the Roku voice remote pro dead battery inside them? I've seen many users say their remote will not charge either. I would love to salvage the remote because the shortcut buttons for netflix, hulu, and Disney I actually have so I would love five shortcut buttons with the two programmable as well perhaps I actually use but the remote will not charge. If anyone has any good info on The voice remote pro rechargeable battery not charging and how I can easily replace it or if I even can please let me know. I'm trying to find research on this but Roku is such a popular brand name it's hard to find accurate information about this specific problem. It was hard enough just to find this video. The main problem of getting inside of it when it has no screws has been solved but what do I do from here to change or replace this dead battery. Please help if anyone can. EDIT/UPDATE: An hour after seeing this video I cracked my remote open, had to look around, all the connections seem to be fine but it still will not charge. The battery seems to be stuck with adhesive, padding etc to the board of the remote. Not exactly sure what kind of battery it is. My completely remove whatever adhesive it is taking the risk open to pinpoint what exact battery type is needed. Not sure if it's proprietary or one that can be replaced from Amazon or something. I would still love to know what exact battery type it is if anybody has this information. At the moment it's looking like no hope but in the next few days I will probably get around too investigating its battery more at the risk of irreplaceably damaging the board. It's a coin flip at this point whether I'll be able to acquire enough info about the correct replacement battery needed. Hopefully it's printed somewhere on the actual battery if I can get it unstuck from the board. I saw a lot of people posting that the battery would not charge and was dead completely. I know many others have had the same problem. Apparently they had a bad batch of batteries but I've not seen anyone post if there's a way to fix this. Most people probably give up scene no visible way to open the remote cover. People like Us however and figured out a way, still need more info on that battery though.

Remote chews through batteries one pair a month without cleaning.

You've got to be fuckin kidding. How's an older person supposed to do this?

Snapped my remote in half

Dude, take the back off, remove the batteries, use a screwdriver at the bottom, work the two pieces loose with your hands. How hard is that? I was done in less than 30 seconds but still watched your weak attempt at instructional eptitude. I accidentally washed mine with my clothes. LOL. Thanks for the good video. No subs from me though 👍
