TCL remote not working?

The fastest fix is switching to Wi-Fi control on your iPhone. Our free TCL remote app connects to your TCL Roku TV over HTTP REST (Roku ECP) (port 8060), auto-discovered via SSDP. No PIN or pairing code is required — the connection is instant. Full remote control is available in under 15 seconds. Meanwhile, check the physical remote: replace batteries, power-cycle the TV, and try the re-pairing sequence. The app is a permanent wireless remote replacement if the physical remote can't be revived.

The three most common causes for a TCL Roku OS remote failing completely: (1) Dead batteries — even rechargeable and solar models deplete without visible warning; (2) Lost HTTP REST (Roku ECP) connection — caused by TV firmware updates, power surges, or the TV being factory-reset; (3) Physical button damage from liquid exposure or drops. For causes 1 and 2, battery replacement or re-pairing fixes the issue. For cause 3, our free iPhone app is the most cost-effective permanent replacement, connecting via HTTP REST (Roku ECP) (port 8060).
