My firestick remote stopped working out of the blue. I tried everything i could find on the internet, resetting this and that, hold these buttons for 10 seconds blah blah. Then i read a post where someone said they left the batteries out for 10mins and then it started working. This gave me an idea.

I took out the batteries and using a spare wire,

connected the positive and negative terminals for a couple seconds,

put the batteries back in and was back in business.

I didnt find this solution anyplace so i figured i’d post my experience. Good luck out there!
