tv suddenly not detecting consoles

Three days ago I was able to play the nintendo switch on my tv. Now all of a sudden it's saying no signal. I go to my xbox one, it says no signal. I tried unplugging it and holding the power button on the remote for thirty seconds, nothing changed. I switched the hdmi slots and it still doesn't work. It was working perfectly fine and now all of a sudden NOTHING works.

Re: tv suddenly not detecting consoles

Hi @scott22,

Thank you for posting here in the Roku Community!
We will be more than delighted to assist you further with this problem that you're having with the Roku TV. Please disconnect the HDMI cable from your source device and the TV and then reconnect, making sure the connection is secure. If the issue continues, try using a different or new HDMI cable. Connect your source device to a different HDMI port on your TV, and then change the TV input to match the port used.

Let us know how it works.

All the best,

John

Hi @Heartlikecoffee,

Thank you for posting.

Have you tried the suggested fix by @RokuJohnB? Changing the HDMI cable would most likely sort out this concern so we highly recommend trying it.

Please let us know what you find out.

Regards,
Janadee

Re: tv suddenly not detecting consoles

I’m experiencing the same thing, switched hdmi cords and ports multiple times. It was working just fine the night before. I have a Onn. Roku tv and I’m having trouble with it saying “no signal” when trying to play on my play station. It detects that it’s there when trying to remove the channel from my Home Screen and my PlayStation is turning on just won’t pop up on the screen for some reason

Re: tv suddenly not detecting consoles

Yea same for me, My Xbox has been streaming to my tv for almost 2 years and just now it’s acting like my Xbox isn’t even on even though it is, i don’t know if it’s my Xbox or my TV or My HDMI cord but it’s just so weird

Its a Hisense Roku TV and I’m trying to connect it to a Xbox Series S console

Re: tv suddenly not detecting consoles

We were just experiencing the same issue. Was able to play Nintendo last night on Roku tv. Then today no image but only audio. We tried changing cables and ports. No luck. We verified that Switch with the same cable was working well with our screen monitor. So it's the TV's problem. We eventually restart Roku system and it's good now.

 

Settings -> System -> Power -> Restart system
