Brand New Roku LE won't turn on

I bought a brand new sealed Roku LE and it worked very well until i unplugged it and changed the charging cube, then it didn't turn on. I changed back to the old charging cube and again it won't turn on.

 

I've done everything to try to turn it on but it simply doesn't, i need help!!!

  • It seems there are three likely possibilities:  The Roku was defective and could only survive one power cycle, or the power block was defective and fried the Roku, or a cable/connector got yanked "too hard" and broke.

    The only Roku LE that I know of was a special edition for Walmart to sell on Black Friday 2021 for $15.  It was basically a 2019 Roku Express 3930.  As such, I probably wouldn’t put a lot of effort into debugging it. Most here recommend the Roku Express 4K+ 3941 as an entry-level (but good!) Roku.
