The Remote Rebellion: When Buttons Behave Badly
-
Battery Blues: Is your remote sluggish? Do your commands take longer to register than a sloth on a sugar crash? It's probably a battery issue. Pop in some fresh AA soldiers and see if that jumpstarts your remote back to life. Pro Tip: Invest in rechargeable batteries to avoid a mid-movie meltdown.

The Great Disappearing Act: Lost your remote like a misplaced sock? Don't worry, it happens to the best of us. For the Alexa Voice Remote: Hold down the home button on your Fire Stick itself. If your remote is nearby and listening, it'll emit a high-pitched shriek, revealing its location like a furry gremlin caught in the spotlight. For other remotes: You might be out of luck, but a good under-the-couch excavation mission is always worth a shot.

Button Bonkers: Are some buttons seemingly possessed? This might be a sign of dirt and grime buildup. Take some rubbing alcohol and a cotton swab to those grimy crevices. Remember: Your remote is not a teething toy for your toddler (or overly enthusiastic dog). Treat it with respect, and it will (hopefully) treat you the same way.
