New Roku stick not working with regular Insignia Tv.

I just bought a Roku stick for my tv about a month ago. For the first two weeks everything was working fine. Now, any time I try to use it the screen turns on but stays black. I have tried all 3 HDMI ports and they’re all having this issue with the Roku stick. I have tried the Roku stick on a different tv and it worked fine with no issues, so I know the problem has to be with the tv itself and not the Roku stick. How can I fix this??

Re: New Roku stick not working with regular Insignia Tv.

Hi @gopekto2,

Welcome to the Roku Community!

Thanks for reaching out to us about your Roku streaming stick. We're happy to help.

These are the most common reasons you may not see the picture on your TV:

1. You have the wrong input (source) selected on your TV

  • Look to see which input you have the Roku player connected to; the video connector will be labeled with the input name, e.g., HDMI 1, HDMI 2, AUX, VIDEO IN 1, etc.
  • Look for a button on your TV remote control that says Input, Source, AUX, Video, TV/Video, or something similar. Press this button. Depending on your TV, pressing the button may cycle through available inputs or display a menu with a choice of inputs.
  • If it cycles through the inputs - wait 10 seconds between button presses to allow the TV to detect the video.
  • If a menu is displayed - use the arrow buttons on the TV remote to choose the correct input and press Enter or Select. Alternatively, select each input one at a time. Wait 10 seconds between each to allow the TV to detect the video.
  • In both cases, if no video is detected on the input, the TV will usually show a message such as "No video" or "No signal detected."

2. The video cable is not connected correctly or the cable is faulty

3. If you can, try connecting the Roku player to a different television to see if the problem is with your Roku player or the TV.

4. Enable CEC or turn off auto power savings

Please keep us posted on what you find out.
