I'm guessing the Roku is sending a signal in a resolution which the "problem" tv does not support. If that's the case, you should see the normal "bouncing letters" Roku startup screen, but lose your picture when it tries to load the home screen.

I'd suggest trying the Roku on a different TV if one is available, especially if that TV has a working Roku. If it comes up okay there, go into Settings > Display type and change the Roku to the actual resolution of the "problem" set instead of a different resolution or the "auto" setting. When you get to the countdown screen click on the "yes" option to save this setting to the Roku. Now move the Roku back to the "problem" set and see if it works.

Na, this is the ROKU that's been on this TV for a few years now.  It just stopped working.

It's an ULTRA so powered by the supplied power wart.  As I said, I swapped in another Ultra and all functions just fine using ALL THE SAME CABLES ..........

Re: No Signal on Roku Ultra

Hi, I am having the same issues. I only have my Roku streaming stick ultra for a few months. Tried to turn on tv 2 days ago and I received the "No Signal" message. Tried everything I could find on Google. I went as far as putting it on different tv and still no resolution.

Can anyone help me?

Hi Kariza, Danny & Roku Team,

I’m experiencing the same issues as many others on this forum. 

I have many Roku Ultra’s in my home,  it my guest room Ultra has stopped working. I’ve tried everything suggested above and in other links and get no response from the unit, just black screen (no signal being sent). The unit also does not show up on my device list within the app. 

My account email is [personal information]

i would appreciate any help you can provide. 

Thanks,

JD
