Re: Bought a brand new Roku express and its stuck on bouncing Roku logo???

Jump to solution

Bought a roku streaming stick (from target) and did the setup. Everything is updated and it needs a factory reset every time we turn the tv on. It automatically goes to a bouncing Roku icon upon turning on. No idea what to do since I’ve tried everything mentioned.

I'm experiencing this same issue but not sure how to direct message you. The Roku is powered through the wall outlet not the TV and still same result even after a factory reset

Honestly I had to just get a brand new one. Nothing I did worked so you may want to try the factory reset and all that but it may not work. If it doesn’t I would contact whoever you bought it from to let them know it’s defective

Same thing is happening to my Roku Express. Only had it for a month and it’s been stuck at the Roku bouncing logo for hours. I’ve tried resetting it for 30 sec. I’ve unplugged the TV, Roku, and all the cables. Shut off the WiFi and turned it back on, and tried to switch different HDMI cables. Still stuck. Help please.

Hi @Kaikea90

Thanks for reaching out here in the Community!

Could you tell us how are you powering your Roku device? Is it connected to the USB port of the TV or to a wall outlet? In some cases, the USB power provided by the TV is not sufficient to power the device. Even though your Roku device may appear to be working, running with insufficient power can lead to instability, crashing, and other unpredictable behavior.

Using the included power cord and power adapter, we suggest plugging your Roku into a working power outlet in the wall. Powering it through a power outlet in the wall has the additional advantage that your Roku player will not need to power up every time you turn on your TV. 

Let us know if there's any difference after.


All the best,
Kariza
