I have really enjoyed using my $20 ONN box but the remote has stopped working. It quit controlling the television and the box. Sometimes repairing it to the box works and sometimes it does not. Is there a fix for this besides trying to get a new remote?
I take it you’ve exhausted the button push on the box?
It is important if the little light on the remote itself works or doesn’t work. I had a remote that shortly after I started using it just died and didn’t even have the light working. If it still works, it may just be a matter of re-connecting, like @Streaming429 mentions.

Batteries, maybe…? 
Yes, I used that push button several times since the remote would not take you to settings.

Replaced batteries with same result. It is just frustrating that sometimes the remote works, many times it does not.
Thaks, I will check the light aspect.
repair push button on onn and hold buttons on remote home and go at same time. Onn will repair the remote.
Well, it was worth a shot. That is the one thing a lot of people don’t think about.
Tbh, the ONN devices are sooo cheap. I would think just getting another one would be more prudent than buying another remote.
Here’s a guide and a link for ONN Support:

I ran into a more of a bothersome than a major problem with my ONN remote. I have an older ONN box that is running Android TV 12. I had two updates for my system. One was for the box, the other update was for the remote. After running the update for the remote, the sound, mute and input buttons no longer work. All the other function keys are fine.
I have tried repairing the remote. Pressing the repair button on the side of the box, unplugging the box and checking prior topics to see if others have experienced a problem with this update.
All is not lost because oddly, the remote from my Vizio TV will control all the functions of the ONN box. But I would still like to know why the ONN remote is not working properly. I have a sneaky suspicion that it may have something more to do with the TV rather than the ONN box.
Has any other ONN box users experienced this problem after running the latest updates?
I’ve suddenly lost my "Set up remote buttons menu.
I can no longer control my volume with my Onn remote.
Where do I enter the code from?
Remote hasn’t a keypad?

If you got a 4K Maxx remote see if you can pair it to the onn box.
Good video. He’s a very good speaker.

One thing I’ve noticed scrolling through this feed and reading is that the ppl that are having problems with their remote have it set up to control their TV too. I don’t have any issues withy onn remotes and I don’t have them set up to control my TVs.
I’d suggest changing remote settings to that it don’t control your TV then re-pair them .

Onn 4k pro remote seems to only push volume up or down in 1 increment. Won’t go up or or down while holding volume control. Is this normal?? Hopefully somebody here has 4k pro. Thanx
Mine has been working flawlessly until this afternoon when pressing the mic and asking Google for weather…
I received a popup with the following message: Sorry I’m Not Available in this Profile.
What’s more is, this is affecting both my remotes and my Dads two remotes on our Onn 4k devices & Onn 4k Pro devices. I’ve of the mind it may be Google, but can’t find where they’re having any issues.
Anyone else with the same issues…
Thank You
