If the Google TV remote suddenly becomes unresponsive, you may think that the batteries are low or dead. But what if the remote doesn’t work after changing the batteries? As a quick troubleshooting, you can reset your Google TV remote to revert its functions back to defaults. Whether you own a Google Smart TV, Google TV Streamer, or Chromecast with Google TV, we explained the resetting process for all remotes.
Steps to Reset Google TV Streamer Voice Remote
The steps to reset your Google TV remote are quite easy, and it will usually take less than a minute.
1. Hold the Select and Mute buttons on your Streamer Voice Remote simultaneously.
2. The LED light at the bottom of the remote will blink white while you press those buttons. If the LED doesn’t blink, replace the old AAA batteries with newer ones.
3. Once you hold those buttons for 10 seconds, a countdown sound will begin to play.
4. Continue to hold those buttons until the blinking LED light becomes solid white. The solid LED light indicates that your Google TV remote has been reset successfully.
Now, all the data on your Google TV remote will be cleared, and you need to pair it again to control your device.
Steps to Reset Chromecast with Google TV Voice Remote
If you have multiple Google devices in your home, take the remote that has a Google Assistant button.
1. Remove the battery panel at the back of your Google TV remote and remove the batteries.
2. Press the Power button at the bottom of the remote and hold it for a few minutes.
3. Take a fresh pair of 2 AAA batteries and insert them on your remote while holding the power button. Make sure that you have inserted the batteries properly by watching the positive and negative diodes.
4. Continue to hold the Power button even after inserting the batteries. The LED light on the remote glows solid during this process.
5. Once the LED light on your remote blinks, release the Power button.
Now, your Chromecast with Google TV remote has been reset to its factory settings.
