Working now...I had another WIFI source and connected to it. I received the link right after. No issues.

I'm having the exact same problem  All my apps, specifically YouTube with the same black display display screen hassle, became enormously buggy and the inner clock were given all out of whack.

Hey @emi354

Thanks for the post.

Experiencing the same problem... All of the details are present in the initial post. After a nap is no longer working no matter how many times you uninstall reinstall it turn off your TV turn on your TV the final result is the factory reset. Upon doing the factory reset and entering your email correctly it continues to say we're sorry to email you provided isn't working despite the email being associated with the account and being able to login to roku.com. Essentially locked out of our own TV and unable to get the activation link

FIXED. 

As part of all these problems-on-top-of-problems, I took the suggestion to restart the modem and router (even though the internet is working fine). That did it.

For whatever reason, a fresh connection helped jumpstart the TV and its Roku system back to full functionality.

If you're struggling with all this, try restarting the connection gear. It makes no sense, I know, but give it a try.

YES!! This is the only thing that worked!

Pretty late here, but I was having the same problem and I found that just by simply capitalizing the first letter of your email will fix the issue.

I just got a Roku Express to replace an old XS. I'm having the same problem. I've tried rebooting my network equipment and using a capital letter as the first letter on my email address. It still doesn't work. And I'm logged in with my Roku account while writing this email, so my account is definitely working.

Thanks for the post.

If you are still unable to resolve the issue, can you please provide the serial number/device ID on your Roku device? I'll be able to assist you further from there.

Thanks,
Danny

I sent the requested information via PM. I also called phone support about this. They never asked for the serial number, though. They were very nice and called me back saying that they needed to escalate the problem.

I see there are several threads in the forum about this type of problem. FWIW, I liked the old Roku activation better where the Roku gave you a number and you typed it into your account. It was a lot easier.
