Hi Laura0413,
Greetings from the Roku Community, and thanks for letting us know!
We understand you are having a problem with the Roku streaming stick since it is not working. We're happy to assist you further. We recommend running down the checklist below and seeing if you are able to resolve:
- Carefully unplug the power cable from your Roku player and allow it to cool down.
- Find a cooler location for your Roku player; avoid placing the unit:
- Inside a cabinet or other closed space;
- On top of other electronic devices such as cable boxes, routers, or audio/video receivers,
- In direct sunlight.
3. Wait at least 10 minutes for your Roku player to cool down. Once cooled, plug the power cable back in and wait for the Roku player to power on. If you still see the overheating message, then immediately unplug the power cable.
4. Repeat step 3 one more time. If the problem persists, then you should stop using your Roku player until you take further action.
We hope this helps.
Best regards,
John
