Hello! @Jewanda,

Super excited to have you here in the Roku Community!

Thanks for reaching out to us about your Roku streaming stick. We're sure we will get your issue resolved positively. 

  • Is this the first time you have experienced this issue?
  • Do you have any other device/s connected to your TV?
  • How are powering your Roku device?

These are the most common reasons you may not see the picture on your TV:

1. You have the wrong input (source) selected on your TV

  • Look to see which input you have the Roku player connected; the video connector will be labeled with the input name; e.g. HDMI 1, HDMI 2, AUX, VIDEO IN 1, etc.
  • Look for a button on your TV remote control that says Input, Source, AUX, Video, TV/Video, or something similar. Press this button. Depending on your TV, pressing the button may cycle through available inputs, or it may display a menu with a choice of inputs.
  • If it cycles through the inputs - wait 10 seconds between button presses to allow the TV to detect the video.
  • If a menu is displayed - use the arrow buttons on the TV remote to choose the right input and then press Enter or Select Alternatively, select each input one at a time. Wait 10 seconds between each to allow the TV to detect the video.
  • In both cases, if no video is detected on the input, then the TV will usually show a message such as “No video” or “No signal detected”.

2. The video cable is not connected properly or the cable is faulty

3. If you can, try connecting the Roku player to a different television to see if the problem is with your Roku player or the TV.

4. Enable CEC or disable auto power savings

Hi @Kelly15,

Welcome to the Roku Community!

We will be more than happy to assist you with the Roku streaming stick 4K issue since it stopped working. Please be advised that you may need to ensure that your power cable is connected properly and plugged in. If it still won't turn on, remove the power cable for five seconds, and then plug it back in. If that fails, then you will have to reset your Roku device using the reset button.

You can also check out this support article here on how to system restart or factory reset your Roku streaming device.

Please keep us posted on what you find out.

All the best,

John

hi. i am using the hdmi cable and power cord that came with the stick. not sure how to use a different cord as it seems specific to the stick.  i did plug an old roku into my tv and it works so i think it’s the stick that isn’t working.
