Help! Remote not working but light is on.

Our google tv white remote has decided to stop working. I changed the batteries but nothing has changed. The white light is on but the remote is unresponsive. How do I get it working again? Please help, my kids are driving me nuts! Haha

Did you try the batteries in something else to make sure they're good? Try these steps:

  1. Remove the batteries from the remote.
  2. Using your phone or other remote to navigate, go to Settings Remotes & Accessories.
  3. Select your remote and choose to Forget it.
  4. Choose Pair remote accessory to start a new pairing.
  5. Hold the home button on the remote down and re-insert batteries while holding the button down. 
  6. The remote should be detected on the right side of the screen. Use your alternate remote to select it to pair it.
In most cases, your remote will pair automatically after you insert the batteries. If it doesn’t, follow the steps on the TV screen, or press and hold the Back and Home buttons on the remote for 3 seconds.
