Under normal circumstances, when your Roku Ultra streaming player remote control is flashing a white light or is off, everything is running smoothly. But, when you see a red light blinking or flashing, it means one thing: your remote control has low or insufficient power. What you can do is charge it!
Then again, you tried charging it like the usual and still the red light continues to flash. You extended the charging time to five hours and to no avail! What can you do then?
It can mean your remote control has a connectivity or charging issue. You may need to divert your attention to your charging ports. Check for possible tearing or damage, which can affect connection. You can also change charging ports to see if it is where the issue comes from.
If none of the above helps, you may need to reset your Roku remote.
