Sometimes, even though your Roku remote works properly, its green indicator light keeps flashing.

Roku remote blinking green light can be due to some issue with the battery, or maybe you have accidentally pressed the pairing button. It can also be a software glitch.

I have tested multiple methods and identified the best methods to solve the Roku remote not working and blinking light issue.

Why Is Roku Remote Blinking Green Light?

There might be a couple of reasons why your Roku remote green light stays on or keeps blinking. Some of them are:

Low or drained remote batteries

How To Fix The Roku Remote Flashing Green Light

Follow the tips mentioned below and troubleshoot your Roku remote instantly.

1. Recharge Or Replace The Batteries

Green light flashing on your Roku voice remote, it can be due to the drained batteries. So, you need to replace or recharge the batteries.

Remove the back cover of the Roku voice remote and access the batteries

Roku Voice Pro Remote users connect the charging cable to charge it.

The green light will blink slowly while charging and will change to solid green when it is fully charged.

2. The Remote Is In The Pairing Mode

If your Roku device remote light is still flashing, it might be attempting to pair with the Roku TV or stick, or you can say it is in pairing mode.

You may have accidentally pressed the pairing button and enabled the pairing mode.

The pairing button of the Roku Voice Pro remote is present on its back.

There is much chance that you have enabled the pairing mode by accidentally pressing the pairing button.

However, it will disable the pairing mode automatically after some time when it will not find a device to pair with. Consequently, the remote light will stop blinking.

In the Roku voice remote, the pairing button is present in the battery compartment under the cover.

So, there are very less chances of the button getting pressed.

However, there might be something in the battery compartment pressing that press the button repeatedly.
