Roku setup

[MarkGash]

My Roku stick is "frozen."  I have tried repeatedly to unplug it, let it cool, and plug it back in.  Nothing works and I cannot Navigate to "settings."  I have tried to set up a replacement online, but the site will not accept the serial number printed right on the stick.  I have tried calling several Roku phone numbers and am unable to reach anyone.  I would like to speak live with someone in Roku support about how to get the stick replaced.  I have had it for less than a year and it is under warranty.  I am extremely frustrated by, and disappointed with, Roku.  This experience has been terrible and reflects very poorly on the company.

Look more closely at the serial number. A Zero (0) looks very similar to a capital O. The zero has a bit of a squeeze in the middle, while the letter O is completely round.  That's what usually trips people up.

I tried it both ways and neither was accepted.  Why is it so difficult to speak with someone?

You know that number printed on the stick that's next to S/N or serial number or whatever?  Guess what?  It's not the serial number.  Only Roku...

You can find the serial number the website is looking for listed under your linked devices displayed at https://my.roku.com .

Why so difficult to speak to someone employed by Roku?  Commercial considerations (wages), but you probably figured that out already.

The number on the stick itself is 225OD7397524.  The O could be a zero.
