Roku Express 4K stopped working suddenly

I was watching something on YouTube, and my Roku suddenly stopped working. And when I turned it on and off, it started showing a bouncing Roku logo that would go on for about a minute and then stop afterwards. What could be the issue and how can this be resolved as soon as possible? Below is the serial number in the body.

    Thanks for clarifying, Vicstix01.

    In this case, have you tried to perform a hard reset on your Roku Express 4K to see if it will make any difference? If not, we highly recommend it.

    Furthermore, please be informed that resetting your Roku streaming player will set you back to default settings, and you may need to re-link your Roku account and sign in on your channel subscriptions. Also, before doing this step, ensure you know your network connection's name and password.

    Keep us posted on how it goes and we'll go from there. We'll be anticipating your response!

    Hello! Vicstix01,

    A friendly welcome from the Roku Community!

    We appreciate you reaching out to us about your Roku device. We're happy to help.

    • Have you encountered this issue before, or is this the first time you have experienced it?
    • Are you getting error messages or error codes when playing content?

    In the meantime, a system restart is the least invasive reset method. By navigating to Settings> System>Power. If you do not see a Power submenu, skip to the next step. System restart.

    Please keep us posted on what you find out, and we will be happy to continue assisting you further. We look forward to hearing back from you.

    Thanks,

    Arjiemar

      Thanks for your response.

      I have not experienced this before.

      The ROKU device does not display anything at all, other than the bouncing ROKU logo, which goes off also after about 30 seconds.

      Like I stated earlier, I am not getting any error message, nothing is just displaying.

      I also noticed that the infra red light (I believe )on the Roku device isn't responding to the remote control.

      Thanks for your response. I tried the hard reset, but it seems not to work. The led light on the device stays on, it doesn't blink despite my attempts at resetting it, even depressing the button for more than 10 seconds at times.
