- Use HDMI-CEC:
- Some modern TVs have a feature called HDMI-CEC. This allows you to control each other by connecting devices via an HDMI cable.
- To do this, you need to enable the “HDMI-CEC” option in your TV’s settings.
- If your TV has this feature and you manage to enable it, you can control the Fire TV using your regular TV remote, and although not all functions will be available, you will at least be able to navigate.
- Use a Bluetooth Device (Once Paired):
- If you already have a Bluetooth game controller, wireless mouse, and keyboard paired to your FireTV, you can use them.
- But to pair them for the first time, you need a working remote.
Note: If your Fire TV is completely off, you’ll usually have to use the TV’s power button directly to turn it on, as the Fire TV must be on to use the app of HDMI-CEC.
After trying all these, if there is no result, then the only suggestion left is to buy a new Fire TV remote and program it to your TV.
