@ChasityB

Thanks for the post.

Customers who were experiencing this issue were able to resolve the issue by unplugging their TV for 10-15 minutes then plugging their TV back in. Try that to see if it resolves the issue you are seeing.

Please keep us posted.


Thanks,
Danny

Thanks for the post.

If you believe the issue is caused by a software issue, please take a look at the information provided by our Support page here: How do I update the software on my Roku TV?

However, as this may be related to a hardware issue, we would recommend contacting Sharp support to see what options or suggestions they can provide. Each Roku TV manufacturer provides direct support for their products running the Roku OS. 

You can reach them here: http://www.sharpusa.com/CustomerSupport/ContactUs.aspx or at 1-888-935-8880.

Re: Black screen on a onn roku tv that hasnt been dropped

Onn is a cheap brand

shine a flashlight on the screen at an angle, and see if you can see a faint image of whatever is on the screen.

If you can see a faint image, that means the power supply has failed and you have no backlight.

We have tried all recommended options including a factory reset but we can't get the screen to come on. Once in a while there is a flash and you can see Onn Roku then it disappears. Help

Hi @Sharr127,

Thanks for posting in the Roku Community!

If you are having an issue with your Roku TV screen going black, we suggest that unplugging your device for 5-10 minutes then plugging the Roku TV back resolves the issue.

If the issue still persists, this may be related to a hardware issue. Have you contacted your TV's manufacturer directly to report this issue and request additional support

You can reach them here: http://onntvsupport.com/#product_support-2 or 1-844-334-2355

Please keep us posted.

Regards,
Mary
