Low power light flashing and remotes won't work

My Roku started flashing the red light indicating low power supply, which is strange as I have it plugged directly into a wall outlet. Also I cannot seem to get the remote to work on it. I did a factory reset but cannot use the remote to go through the steps of resetting it up. Any help is appreciated

@MadamDerp 

Which Roku device? The model number should be on the actual device somewhere.

The model number is ##100012589 It is an onn. Roku TV. Is a Hisense Roku TV remote compatible with this onn. Roku?

Re: Low power light flashing and remotes won't work

So it's a Roku TV?  Not a Roku device connected to a TV?  I don't think a flashing red light on a TV means low power.  It's up to the manufacturer (which isn't Roku) and probably indicates a significant fault.

@Tivoburkeewould know if the remotes are compatible, but my guess would be that they are not.

You may want to contact the manufacturer of the TV.

The only times I have seen a flashing red light on Roku tv is when its being bombard by IR from another source, remote with stuck button? Remote in a cushion? The offending IR source doesn't have to be a Roku remote, check ALL remotes in the room?
