Roku Ultra No Video Displayed

I have a Roku 4802x that has stopped displaying video on the TV.

  1. I have been able to restore video output by pressing the reset button.
    1. This brings me back to the initial configuration screen
    2. After pairing the remote to the Roku and selecting a language
    3. The Roku downloads updates and returns to a black screen.
  2. I have tried connecting to different HDMI ports on the TV
    1. For example changing the HDMI 1 input from my cable box, which was working to the Roku, the display goes dark.
    2. Don't know if it is significant but I can hear key click sounds from the tv
  3. Device details:
    1. Model 4802X
    2. S/N SODA2226TTU3

Re: Roku Ultra No Video Displayed

Hi @Tigger23505,

Thanks for your first post in the Roku Community!

We appreciate you for letting us know about the behavior you're seeing with your Roku device, along with all of the troubleshooting that you've done.

For troubleshooting purposes, have you tried connecting those Roku devices to another TV to see if you are experiencing the same issue with the flashing purple light?

In addition, we also suggest restarting your Roku device, you can either unplug the power cable, wait a moment, and then reconnect it. Or you can use the following steps to restart it from the Settings menu:

  1. Press Home on your Roku remote
  2. Scroll and select Settings
  3. Select System
  4. Select Power. If you do not see a Power submenu, skip to the next step.
  5. Select System restart

If the issue persists, please refer to the support article here for additional troubleshooting steps: What to do if you cannot see the picture from your Roku® streaming player on your TV | Official Roku...

Please keep us posted and we'll continue assisting you from there.


Best regards,
Mary

Re: Roku Ultra No Video Displayed

I had the Ultra hooked up to a different display with an  HDMI input and everything is good on that display and I was able to complete the registration and setup. Unfortunately when I reconnect everything to the TV that we usually use I am back to audio-only with a dark screen. I'm wondering if there is a compatibility issue with our Insignia Fire TV?

Re: Roku Ultra No Video Displayed

Got it fixed - turned out that like so many others, the fix was at the TV end and not the Roku unit.
