I bought a used Roku 2500K to use with my old CRT TV which uses composite A/V cables. Apparently the device is no longer supported (or at least not supported very well anymore) by Roku. When I try to enter the 4 digit on-screen activation code into the Roku link website, it does not accept the code. Is there still a way to use this device? I want to watch Netflix on my old Trinitron! Thanks!

No, the 2500 is now 14 years old, and no longer supported by Roku or literally every streaming provider. It's nothing but a paperweight now. Your TV probably requires something with analog outputs. That's virtually impossible to find in a streaming player today. There are HDMI to analog converters that some have used successfully with a newer Roku player. But I can't provide any brands or model numbers of what would work.
