Voice Remote Select Button not working

jose1982 — Fri, 13 Oct 2023 09:02:52 GMT

Hi all,

I am having an issue with my voice remote. The "Select" button stopped working out of the sudden. This is what I have tried so far:

Changing batteries
Reboot Chromecast
Voice Remote Factory reset
Unpair/Pair Remote

None of the above has worked for me. Does it mean I need to get a new remote? or am I missing something?

Kind regards

Hi Erika0405,

Thanks for posting here. Have you tried the steps above? If you did, let’s try this workaround and let me know how it goes:

Remove the batteries and give it a 2 to 3 minute rest.
While the batteries are out, press and hold down the power button for 15 to 20 seconds to fully drain any static power left on the chipset/motherboard of the Chromecast Voice remote, then release the button.
Let the remote rest again for 2 to 3 minutes. Take this time to unplug the Chromecast device from power and give it a 1 minute rest before you plug it back in.
Test it and observe.
If it persists, you can factory reset the remote one last time and pair it again.

We look forward to your response.

Thanks,

Kimy
