Did your Amazon Fire TV remote suddenly stop working? Did you recently replace the batteries in the remote and it no longer works with your Amazon Fire TV?

 

  1. Try to quickly re-pair your Amazon Fire TV remote. Ensure your Fire TV is on and you place your remote at most 10 feet from your Amazon Fire TV. Hold down the home button on your Amazon Fire TV remote for up to 20 seconds. You should see a confirmation message in the bottom right corner after successfully pairing.
