How To Fix The Green Light On FireStick Remote

If you’re using weak batteries in your FireStick remote, then it will give a sluggish performance.

Sometimes something unusual happens, and BlueTooth turns off on the TV. And when there is no Bluetooth connection, the FireStick remote keeps blinking green light until it finds a FireTV.
