SOLUTION!!! How to fix 'insufficient power'

Jump to solution

We bought a new (replaced) power supply/cord as one unit from the Roku website, and since then we haven't had any issues.  It's been a couple years now.  You can't use any generic power supply/cord.  It must be a ROKU power supply or this will continue to happen. It's relatively inexpensive and ships quickly.  Highly suggest.

I am literally using their plug and cord they provided me. It still will have low power issues. @ixtasis23

It may need to be replaced.  It happened to us with the one that came with it too.

All Roku devices are black so exactly what box are you speaking of?

The voltage is not low. I checked it. I only get this message when I disconnect the unit for the AC outlet. Could it be that the device is telling me the voltage was low when I unplugged it? The message goes away after a minute or two.  I have attached this unit to different tv's and its always the same and the voltage is always good.

Hi @PETENOW,

Thanks for reaching out to the Roku community!

Can you please clarify the issue you are experiencing? What Roku model device are you using? Just to verify you are receiving a "low power" message when you plugged through wall outlet?

See more tips and troubleshooting steps for this type of issue here: What to do if the red light is flashing, or you see a "low-power" warning | Official Roku Support 

Please keep us posted and we'll continue assisting you from there.
 

Best regards,
Mary
