    Unplug everything and take a close look at those connectors. You should see a small slot below the HDMI connector and a label "Micro SD" below the "HDMI" label. This is according to https://www.roku.com/products/roku-3#!

OK.  Here's what worked for me.

Inserted a Kingston 8GB micro sd card, contacts facing up, turned on the Roku and...nothing.

Returned to this forum and read some more.

Went back to the Roku with a very small screwdriver, pushed against the edge of the micro card so it popped part-way out, turned on the Roku and then, with the screwdriver, pushed the card in until it clicked and seated properly. Immediately I got the alert on the TV screen asking if I wanted to reformat the card.  It took about 5' for the reformatting to reach the 100% mark.
