Stream Bar Stopped Working
Hi, Iwas watching TV, backed out of Netflix and the TV went blank. Roku Streambar was unresponsive. I tried numerous variations of troubleshooting tips for the TV and Streambar, but nothing works. I unplugged it the streambar, waited a minute, plugged it back in, hit the reset button. I also removed batteries from remote and reinstalled them. Finally, the streambar started flashing a yellow light. Still nothing on TV. Stream Bar is no longer showing up on the TV's HDMI port. Changed the HDMI cable and nothing. Removed Streambar and replaced it with a Roku device and everything works. Plugged the Streambar into my TV upstairs and same thing. Yellow light is flashing, but nothing is registering in the HDMI port, and nothing on screen. I think it is dead, but wanted to check here in case I am missing something.
