Hi Kaylin0507
Welcome to the Roku Community!
We totally understand that you're having an issue with streaming on your Roku TV, let's work on it.
We would like to know, after you've turned on your TV and it flashes then goes black, is there any way to shine a flashlight on the screen to see if the display is on or not?
Please keep us posted and we will be more than happy to continue assisting you.

How can I tell by using flashlight?
Hi Kaylin0507
Thanks for the update!We're here to help you get back to streaming on your Roku TV. Please make sure to power on your Roku TV using the power button itself. Let's check on the screen to see if the display is on or not with a flashlight.
Keep us posted so we can further investigate your issue.
Warm regards,
Arvy"Turn it on and off", "reset", "use a flashlight"! Come on! We've all DONE all these things already! This is obviously a very common issue!
This is ridiculous, and I am getting outraged. This is less than a week after I REPLACED another RCA TV! That one just started randomly exhibiting screen glare and a strange spreading pixelation. I gave up and exchanged it! It was a slightly different model.
This new one is still exhibiting a blank screen, and occasionally displays Roku, sometimes it now displays the home display - but does not respond to my controller, then goes blank again. The remote also doesn't work.
Roku NEEDS to offer better help with fixing this problem, if it is even fixable! HELP!!
RCA use to be known for quality electronics! I'm now longing for a good old fashioned MONITOR that I can just plug things into so that it will WORK!! Smart TVs seem to be nothing but trouble and glitches!
