    Welcome, ethanjaycee​ 

    A black screen on your Roku TV accompanied by a slowly blinking red light indicates a power-related issue. To get further details, can you tell us:

    • Does the issue occur once you turn on the TV?
    • Do you hear any startup sounds when you power on the TV?
    • Is the TV plugged directly into a wall outlet, or is it connected through a power strip or extension cord?
    • Have you tried a different power outlet to rule out electrical issues?

    In the meantime, unplug the TV from the wall. Wait at least 60 seconds (some recommend a few minutes or overnight). Plug it back in and turn it on.

    Hoping to hear from you soon!
