Re: Roku TV TCL Black Screen on display

Same thing, its a software issue. My backlight is still on.  Roku advised the secret menu but that didn't work.  Now after factory reset I can't update fixes on a black screen! Roku said they are aware of this but I have my suspicions on the escalation of this matter... Both roku and tcl are pointing fingers at Each other..

Re: My TCL Roku tv has a black screen and yet I still can click buttons and hear audio? follow up

Hello, I was wondering if you could update me on what is going on with the information you sent to the support team? It has been like almost 4 days since I've been able to use my tv and was wondering if you have any new information about how i can fix my tv?

@AasherKhattak 

 

Look thru this entire thread. Have you seen them provide one single solution? They can’t. The solution is to buy a new tv. They aren’t going to replace your tv. Remember this the next time you buy

Re: My TCL Roku tv has a black screen and yet I still can click buttons and hear audio? follow up

I have two tcl roku tvs that had to be replaced.  They were both less than 2 yrs old.   I was going to save them to see if a fix ever comes out but not sure if that will happen.  

I was at SAMS yesterday and a dude in front of me had a 65 TCL roku tv on a cart.  I was debating with my wife if I should say anything.  She kept saying don’t do it but I said f’ it.  He has to know.  So I pulled up this forum and showed it to him.   We had a little discussion about the issue and he ended up putting the tv back and got another one that was non tcl non roku.   Hated to do it but couldn’t justify just standing there knowing he was most likely going to have the same issues we’re having.

Did the same as I was buying my 85"Sony run on Google TV.  To a couple people and expressed my frustration with the sales guys, they were very familiar.

Re: Roku TV TCL Black Screen on display

I will advise you of the very same thing I have sent to Roku's legal counsel through the medium listed below, and this reply and my response will also be noted for further review. 

Ma'am, this is clearly an intentional act on behalf of a knowing plaintiff. The assertion of this becoming an issue after an update without providing a glimpse of accountability and solution illustrates that clearly.

Respectfully, your reply is laden in absolute untruth.

This serves as a good faith notice on behalf of consumers

Notice of Intent

This is on behalf of consumers effected as discussed in the thread below. 

 
Though Roku and TCL are assigning blame on one another, it is mutually agreed that this issue has arisen shortly after the “updates”
While this poses no solution, it does clarify both parties collusion to defraud consumers through unabashed admission that the issue in question was a result of both parties negligence, or ignorance, in coding the update.  This thread starts in October 2022, before many consumers in this thread bought their devices, yet the intermittent and random conclusion of all consumers having encountered this issue indicates a deliberate and knowing act on behalf of TCL and Roku.
 
This is a notice of intent in lieu of a statement and solution from Roku in this matter. This is not a solicitation of inquiry regarding the fault of TCL or Roku and it is advised that it not be treated as such, it is solicitation of remedy. In lieu, this is a notice of good faith. 
 
Please advise of Rokus official position in the matter so consumers, as a whole, can act accordingly. Thank you.
