An Alexa Voice Remote along with a pair of batteries are bundled with the new versions of Amazon Fire TV and Fire TV Stick. If you’re a new user then opening the Fire TV Stick remote to replace batteries could be a bit tricky. That’s because the battery cover on the Amazon Fire Stick remote features an unusual design that can be tough to remove.

In this article, we will guide you through the steps to open Fire Stick remote and put in new batteries. Before proceeding, note that the procedure to remove the back cover of the Fire TV Stick remote varies depending on the type of remote included with your streaming device.

The Fire TV Stick 4K and Fire TV Cube come with a 2nd generation Alexa voice remote. Unlike the 1st generation remote for Fire TV, the all-new remote comes with a dedicated power button, volume up and down controls, and a mute button. Moreover, the batteries in it are aligned vertically.

To remove the battery cover on Amazon Fire Stick remote,

  1. Flip the remote and locate the small indent at the back.
  2. Now hold the remote vertically such that its top side is facing towards you.
  3. Use your thumb and apply reasonable pressure on the indent in the upwards direction.
  4. Press and push until the back cover slides out.
  5. Lift the cover and insert two AAA batteries.
  6. Align the cover back into its place and slide down to snap it.

Tip: Push the back cover firmly for the very first time because it can be tight initially. Though it may come out gently after a few attempts.

      Did you ever get it open? I tried for 2 days before coming to this site. I was using one thumb on top of the arrow…would not open. I used 2 thumbs..one on each side of the arrow and it just popped open. So crazy!

      It works most easily if you use something grippy to push against on the cover, like a piece of rubber or a jar opening gripper or silicone. The biggest issue is that the remote is smooth and seems virtually impossible to get a grip on. Hope this helps!

        I’ve given up. Tried what you said and applied pressure until I turned red. This is one Christmas gift going in the trash!

    Absolutely will not open. Can I pry the back off with a knife?

      I don\’t know about you, but I ended up prying it open (from the end with the arrow). This was after trying to run a jewelers screwdriver around the whole edge of the opening. It was ugly. I marred up the case pretty good but I got it open. This was insane!

      The positive side goes towards the top of the remote.

    Tried using a piece of rubber shelf liner. Worked last time, not this time. Arthritis in my fingers is probably the reason. Grrr
