If the remote is still not working, try pairing it with your Fire TV Stick again. To do this, press and hold the Home button on the remote for 10 seconds. The LED light on the remote will flash blue. Once the LED light turns blue, release the button.
4. Update your Fire TV Stick software
If you're still having problems, try updating the software on your Fire TV Stick. To do this, go to Settings > System > Advanced > System Update. If there's an update available, follow the on-screen instructions to install it.
