Hi @Thefamof5,

Welcome to the Roku Community!

We understand you have an issue with your Roku device that has sound but no picture.

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
    You must select the input (sometimes referred to as the source) that matches the one to which you have the Roku player connected.
  2. The video cable is not connected properly, or the cable is faulty
    Check that the video cable is firmly connected to the back of your Roku player and the HDMI or composite connector on the TV. If you have a Roku Streaming Stick, then make sure it is firmly connected to the HDMI connector on your TV.
    If you can, check to see if you have a faulty cable by connecting your Roku player with a different cable.
  3. There is a problem with the TV
    If you can, try connecting the Roku player to a different input on the TV to see if the problem is with the connector on the TV.
    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.
    If all else fails.
  4. Disconnect and reconnect all cables, including the power cable.

Please keep us posted on what you find out!

Best regards,
