insufficient power warning

Hi, chloe2246 

Thanks for posting, and welcome to the Roku Community.

We understand the issue you have experienced with your Roku device, which has a power difficulty. We're here to assist. If your TV is providing insufficient power to your Roku streaming player, you may see the following message when the device boots-up:

Alternatively, you may see this message:

Follow the steps to address the issue:

1. Verify that you are using the USB cable that came with your Roku streaming player
   • If you are using any USB cable other the one that came with your streaming player, replace it with the one that came with your player.
2. Try a different USB Port
   • Some USB ports have different power characteristics. Connecting your streaming player to a different USB port on your TV may resolve the issue.
3. Connect power to power-outlet
   • Using the included USB cable and USB power adaptor (if included), connect your streaming player to a working power outlet in the wall.
     • If your streaming player did not come with a USB power adaptor, see our article on powering your streaming player. 
   • Connecting to a power outlet in the wall has the additional advantage that your Roku streaming player will not need to power-up every time you turn on your TV. This means your player will be up and running faster than it would be connected to a TV.
