    All buttons on my remote were working fine, for months. Then only the volume button stopped working. I tried all the remedies above but nothing worked. Last ditch effort: changed the batteries. Worked like a charm!

    Volume not working – all other controls (channels/back/toggle etc) functional. Replaced batteries, solved the issue.

    My problem with power and volume not working resulted from having had my Firestick connected to another tv previously. You brought to my attention the Equipment Control settings, and , lo and behold, it showed it connected to my Sceptre tv rather than the Vizio it was now connected to. A change to the Vizio got things working again. Please note that to make this change, the setting under “Equipment Control” must be changed from “automatic” to “manual” . Thanks again.

    When you say “go to settings” are you referring to the TV settings or the remote settings?

    I had volume, power and mute not working, and everything else working fine. Changing the batteries resolved the issue. Probably something to try first.
