AppleTV Remote not working except for volume buttons.

Hi!

I found this old thread, but none of the answers solve my problem. Suddenly my Apple TV Siri remote doesn’t work. Only the volume buttons work. I’ve restarted the Apple TV box and re-paired but no success. Re-pairing also resulted in another problem: The menu option for controlling the tv is now greyed out (so I’ve had to dig up the tv remote :( )

I’ve tried everything instructed on Apple support pages, and what’s also mentioned in this older thread - but no luck in any way…

anyone with a good tip?

Apple TV 4K, tvOS 14

Hi!

Thanks very much for your quick reply!

I’m afraid I had already tried everything described in those pages with no success.

i eventually gave up and bought a new remote, which works perfectly - so I simply gave up on this non-functioning remote.

I couldn’t see how to close this thread/question in order to not waste anyone’s time. I apologise for that.

Best wishes

May
