To get your Roku remote to stop blinking, follow these steps:
1. Unplug the Roku 3 from the power source. This will ensure a fresh start for the troubleshooting process.
2. Remove the batteries from the remote. This will allow you to perform a full reset of the remote.
3. Insert new batteries into the remote. Using fresh batteries is important to ensure that the remote is functioning properly.
4. Do not replace the battery cover just yet. Keeping the cover off will allow you to access the reset button on the remote.
5. Plug the Roku 3 back into the power source. This will initiate the booting process for the device.
6. Press and hold the reset button on the remote for about three seconds. The reset button is usually located inside the battery compartment.
7. After holding the reset button, replace the battery cover on the remote. This will ensure that the batteries are securely in place.
8. Once the Roku 3 has finished booting, you should see a pairing notice on your screen. This indicates that the remote is ready to be paired with the Roku 3.
9. Follow the on-screen instructions to complete the pairing process. This usually involves pressing a specific button on the remote to establish a connection with the Roku 3.
10. After the remote has successfully paired with the Roku 3, it should stop blinking and be ready for use.
If these steps do not resolve the issue and the remote continues to blink, there might be a more significant problem with either the remote or the Roku 3 itself. In such cases, it is recommended to contact Roku customer support for further assistance.
I hope this helps resolve the issue with your Roku remote blinking.
