Re: Black Screen Problem tried everything

Hi @forvalafiva

Welcome to Roku Community.

Sorry to hear about the issue you are experiencing with your Roku device. We're here to help. 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.

To make sure we have tried all possible troubleshooting steps to resolve the issue, we suggest you follow this link: What to do if you cannot see the picture from your Roku® streaming player on your TV.

Keep us posted on how it goes. 


Regards, 
Nimfa

@forvalafiva

Thanks for the response. 

Have you tried the suggested steps provided on the link above for No picture on your TV and see if it helps clear the issue you are experiencing? To clarify, are you seeing a Red Light Solid in front of your device or a Red Light Flashing? 

The FLASH RED shows when your device has insufficient power, the RED LIGHT IS SOLID (not flashing) your device is overheating. Be careful! The unit may be hot. Unplug and remove your device immediately and refer to: go.roku.com/tempcheck

Keep us posted on what you find out. And kindly, include the serial number of your Roku device so we can look into this further. It can be found printed on the bottom or back of the device.
