3 Ways to Fix Menu Button Not Working on Fire TV Stick

Basic Fixes:

• Restart the Fire TV Stick: The menu button on the Fire TV Stick remote may malfunction due to a temporary glitch. A simple device restart can help fix this. To do this, use the Settings menu and restart your Fire TV Stick device. Then, try using the menu button again.

Fix 1: Check Fire TV Stick Remote Status

Your Fire TV Stick allows you to check the status of the Fire TV Stick remote. If the remote runs low on battery, the menu button may not work as expected. Here’s how to check that using your Fire TV Stick’s settings menu.

Step 1: Open Fire TV Stick and go to Settings. Here, select Controllers & Bluetooth Devices.

Step 2: From the options, select Amazon Fire TV Remotes.

Step 3: Check the battery status from the right-side panel.

If the status shows anything other than OK, change the remote batteries and check again.

Fix 2: Reset Fire TV Stick Remote

You can reset the Fire TV Stick remote to resolve any issues resulting from the previous pairing. Please note this will only work if the menu button on your Fire TV Stick remote is unresponsive and not broken. Unplug your Fire TV Stick and wait for a minute. Then, follow the below steps.

Step 1: On your remote, simultaneously press and hold the Left button, Menu button, and Back button for about 12 seconds.

Step 2: Now, release the buttons and wait for another 5 seconds. Remove the batteries from the remote and power your Fire TV Stick back on.

Step 3: Put the batteries back in and point the remote toward your Fire TV Stick. Now, press and hold the Home button for 10 seconds.

Release the Home button once a light appears on the remote. Additionally, you should also see a pairing notification on the screen. If that doesn’t happen, use the following method.

Fix 3: Reset Your Fire TV Stick

If you can’t reset the Fire TV Stick remote or if that fix doesn’t work, try resetting your Fire TV Stick device as a whole. This will delete all Fire TV Stick settings, accounts, apps, etc., and reset it to factory defaults. This should fix any related issues. Follow the below steps to do it.

Step 1: Open your Fire TV Stick and select Settings from the menu options. Scroll down and select My Fire TV.

Step 2: Then, select Reset to Factory Defaults.

Step 3: Here, select Reset to confirm. Wait for your device to finish resetting.

Then, set up your Fire TV Stick and try using the menu button to see if it’s working as expected. If the issue persists, we recommend getting a new remote or using the Fire TV Stick remote app.
