My Roku has also recently stopped working and I found that the power cable with long range Wi-Fi is broken. It looks like this a defect of that batch of streaming sticks.
I am in Canada and can't see anywhere to get a replacement online and am not sure if this is covered under warranty (which it should be).
SN 265036334468
MODEL 3810X
Model on the back of the long range wifi extender cord is WR001

This exact thing happened to mine! So now I have a useless streaming Stick when I didn't do anything to damage it The fact that it forces the Wi-Fi receiver cord to stand straight up, basically define gravity, is the reason that the cord gets worn and cracks, as you can see from all of these other comments! And to charge $20 for a replacement? That's really ridiculous when this obviously happens often.
Hi @kaberbabe,
We really do apologize for the inconvenience. Could you share with us your device serial number? I will be able to assist you further.
Please keep us posted!
Thanks,

Hi @robrivo,
Thanks for making your first pots here in the Roku Community.
We'd like to see more on what's going on here. Could you tell us how you are powering your device? Is this connected directly to a wall outlet or your TV's USB port?
Tell us more about this so that we can further assist you
Thanks,
Rey
Hi there, don't hold your breath while waiting for a replacement. I tried getting a replacement for a brand new faulty cable from Roku, and after 3 months of emails back and forth to Roku support, and promises made, they then told me that the item was out of stock and refused any further communication with me. The result is that I have a brand new streaming that has never worked! Won't be using Roku products in the future
Hi @BNicholson,
A warm welcome here in the Roku Community!
We're sorry for the inconvenience that it has caused you. This is not what we aim for. In this case, please purchase it from third-party retailers in the meantime. Once the items are available, we can send them to you as soon as possible.
If you are already in touch with our Support team, we recommend continuing to work with them as they are best able to assist you moving forward.
Thanks for understanding.
All the best,
