How to fix 'insufficient power' or 'low power' warning

I'm watching the LSU-CLEMSON game and all of a sudden, my Roku says "insufficient power"..."USB port will not power this Roku." What happened? How do I fix?

    Need more detail. What is the model number of the Roku (not name)? How is it powered now? Are you using the cables/power adapters that came with the Roku, or 3rd party devices?

        Ok, great. Are you using a USB port in the TV to power the Express?
