Roku TV Turns Off At Startup

This was a community problem a few months ago. Support was looking at it. I offered my TV for use in testing. The problem went away.

Now the problem is back. Yesterday I dismissed it as maybe my error. It happened again this morning. When restarted all is OK. I haven't checked the update history but I'm guessing.......

Anyone else?

Re: Roku TV Turns Off At Startup

I don't have a video. Basically, When the TV is turned on and the home screen comes up, the set turns off when you rocker right to make a selection. It could also be shutting down by time but I haven't tested that. This was an issue a few months ago for many. I volunteered my TV for testing and submitted the necessary information. Today the set was fine but not so the previous two days.

Thanks for keeping us posted, @Tater5 

Could you let me know how you are powering your Roku TV? Is it through a power strip or directly into a power outlet? Additionally, how frequently does the issue occur?

Keep us posted.

Thanks,

Re: Roku TV Turns Off At Startup

It is powered through a power strip. It happens at start-up when the set has been off for a while. After hitting the remote power button and Rocker to the right it shuts down.

It took an update on 3/28/25 @ 2:35pm to v. 14.5.4, Build 5932.

If you can see my messages, I sent the Device ID to Support on 12/19/24. Or, you can send me a PM and I can reply.

Hi, @Tater5 

Thanks for the update!

Can we try plugging the Roku TV straight into a wall outlet and see if that fixes the problem?

Let us know what happens.

Thanks,
Roku Community Team.

Re: Roku TV Turns Off At Startup

Bypassing the strip isn't practical. I don't feel it is related to the issue. The TV doesn't just die. It goes through a shutdown cycle as if you pressed the POWER button. It is behaving just as it did in late 2024. Also the timing is odd with the upgrade last week.
