Hi, @Janet10 

Welcome to the Roku Community.

We understand the issue you have brought to our attention regarding your Roku TV's display that goes black for a second and comes on, and off again. We're here to assist. For this matter, we recommend restoring your Roku TV to factory defaults to resolve the issue. Kindly follow the information below.

Factory Defaults

Using the physical button

Located on the back or bottom of your TV, the physical Reset button is either tactile or pinhole-designed and requires a straightened paperclip to open. Once you locate the Reset button and your Roku TV is powered on, press and hold the button firmly for about 10 seconds.

Please let us know if the issue is fixed or reply to the thread for further assistance, we will be glad to help you.

Best wishes,
Kash
