My Amazon Remote Control stopped working today!! I checked on Amazon and they wanted $29+ for a replacement!! The entire Firestick costs $39+ !!!

Checked on YouTube for a fix and found a video with 3 steps to repair mine.

Step one was to remove the batteries for 30 seconds (Newly charged batts).It worked!! I 😍 YouTube!!

Have you tried replacing the batteries? I have found they need replacing quite often.

I have switched most of my battery operated devices to rechargeable batteries, so yes I keep them charged.

Another fix was to hold down the on button for 10 seconds.

The last one was to unplug the power cord for 30 seconds..
 

my remote for my TV the batteries are screwed in....never seen anything like it ....

I love Youtube!! I had my kindle reader do that, just stop, and found the answer for it somewhere online, but often, it is on youtube ;) Mine I just was to hold down the Start button for 20 seconds or so. It actually fired right back up!!
 
For emergencies (when did a broken remote become an emergency?) there is an app on your smartphone - Google Play, make sure it is the free one. Don't have an iPhone could be an app there.
