Re: Free HDMI Extender. I cannot fill the form. The page have problems

Purchased the streaming stick 4K from Amazon. It doesn’t fit any of the 4 HDMI ports on our TV due to the extra long length of the device. Seems it must be a common problem given the instructions to order a free extender. Problem is that the form to do so states it cannot process the request. Have checked serial number, cleared cookies/ temp files, even tried 3 different devices and different browsers. The problem is with Roku.com not our end. Please advise on how to order, or if these are no longer available so I can return the device before the return window closes.

    Try using the serial number listed in the online dashboard of your account at https://my.roku.com/account.  Near bottom of page will see your linked devices and serial numbers.

    Has been a few problems as of late using the extender page but mainly the page not accepting the serial number.

    You can also purchase these extenders in a store (female to male HDMI connection) for a few dollars if you need immediately.  However, since Roku does offer a small one for Streaming Sticks, can understand if you want the free one as offered and advertised.

    Tagging RokuMary-F and RokuKariza-D who can perhaps offer additional assistance if the above still does not work you.

      Hi.. I too am having problems completing the form. I was told by customer support this problem would be resolved a couple days ago. I tried using the SN on my account for linked products by to no avail. Can you assist as I have been trying for a few weeks? Thx

    Hi, this is my first time posting here, and I have an issue of trying to get that free hdmi extender for my 4K Streaming Stick from the website's page itself.

    After checking the available threads here with a similar issue, I've already determined that I did in fact put down the correct serial number of my streaming stick from my account page (via copy/paste) and did not include any O's that are meant to be 0's/zeroes. I did everything right but the page suggested that my SN was wrong somehow and that the correct one was on the back of my streaming stick.

    The SN on the back of my stick was just the Device ID, which I did put in at first but was given a different kind of error before I copy/pasted the actual SN from my page.

    There any way I can contact support directly just to get this free extender Roku supposedly has?

        Hello RokuNimfa-C !

        Thank you for taking the time to reach back to me about this flaw. My serial number for my 4K Streaming Stick is X01700L97N9C. Hopefully this should help and that the error itself will be soon fixed for everyone else suffering the same thing.
