    Roku switching inputs & turning off by itself, and turns on/off if you touch the top strip

    I have factory reset twice, unplugged for an entire night, turned off CEC, turned off one touch, checked for updates (there are none), changed batteries twice, turned off the ability to be controlled by the app Incase it's someone else doing this- I'm out. I don't know what else to do. The TV switches input on its own, turns off whenever it feels like it or if I try to close the input window while it's up. If I close the input switching window, it'll come right back up. If I touch the top of the tv, it either turns off/on, or starts to control itself. I'm lost. I don't know what this would be or what to try next. There's nothing plugged into it either. I'm at such a loss, it's only happening to my tv, no one else's in my house. It's making me lose my mind. What do I do?

    How do I fix my TCL Roku tv Black screen/ dim light

    My daughter was watching tv and all of a sudden the screen went black, we can still hear everything but the screen was black . I’ve only had this tv for 6 months so I’m confused as to what is going on. I’ve tried holding the power button on the both the remote and the tv to reset, I’ve unplugged it , I’ve used the reset button on the back of the tv, I’ve changed the picture mode using the dictation to movie, I’ve factory reset it and nothing seems to work. When I turn on the tv you can see the red screen for just a split second before it goes dark. You can tell the tv is a low dim cause at a certain angle you can see the words on the screen very faintly . what should I do

    Roku TV keeps disconnecting from wifi when i turn it off and back on

    SO... This jusr barely started happening last week. So ill explain, i have a HiSense Roku TV 40" and when i turn my tv off. leave somewhere and come back i turn it on and its not connected to the wifi i have to restart my tv from settings or i usually clear the CACHE by pressing "Home" 5x Then Up button 1x Then Rewind 2 x then Fast Forward button 2x and it works but then i turn my tv off and leave then come back and i have to do the process over again. i have restarted my wifi router as well. and it didnt change this. I also updated my roku tv a few weeks ago, not sure if that is a bug that roku hasn't fixed but just wanted to throw that in there as well. And will having a MONSTER LED light Bar interfere with my connection? cause my roku remote changes the light colors on my monster light bars. lol i just wanted to add that just in case its the light bars that are interfering with the connection. if anyone has any suggestions please let me know THANKS.

    TCL Roku TV has a small marking on the top right corner of screen suddenly.

    It’s been like this for two days, from a distance it doesn’t appear, but when I’m close enough, like near my desk. It’s super noticeable when I watch a tv show, or when I play my games. Veryyyy aggravating. I've only had this tv for two months now. It was meant to replace my older TV that I had for nearly two decades, and to see my screen like this kinda makes me wish I didn't get rid of my old TV.

    TCL Roku TV Never Restarts After Software Update

    I got a new TCL Roku 65R655 (J102X) and I plugged it in to use it in all its greatness. It opened the initial setup screen , I went through it, and connected to my internet via ethernet. It automatically checked for updates and downloads it super fast. It displays a message saying it will automatically restart after installing the update. Here's where things go wrong. Once it downloads the update and restarts, the TV never turns back on again. I disconnected the power after a while, waited 15 minutes and then plugged it back in. The TV turns on to the initial setup again. I go through it again. It turns off to restart again. It never turns back on. I have done this 6 times and it's always the same. I have searched far and wide for fixes and tried the following: Disconnect power for a 24 hours and retry setup - no luck. I skipped the internet connection setup, did a factory reset, and tried setup again - no luck. I pressed the reset button behind the TV and tried setup again - no luck. I downloaded the software update to a USB and went through all the steps on https://tvupdate.roku.com - no luck. I reached out to TCL support and they said to enable Fast TV start, drain excess power, and try the setup again - no luck. The TV restarts okay when I use the reset button, and when I do it manually through settings. This leads me to believe that this might be cause by the new software it installs but I may be wrong. In case this is helpful, the fresh-out-of-the-box software version is: 10.5.0 build 3168-DK Right now I am using it as a "dumb" TV, and my worst-case workaround is to use a Chromestick for the smart features since the HDMI ports seem to work okay. This is a new TV but more importantly, this is my first TV and I have been looking forward to it for a long time so any pointers, and suggestions to fix this will be great. Thanks!

    YouTube App Unusable After Update on Roku TV

    After the update on 3/18/23 I haven’t been able to use my YouTube app on my Roku TV at all. I’ve been on support chat multiple times to fix the issue, but I keep getting the “no memory available” message even though the YouTube app has been my only app for about 5 years now - I don’t use the tv for anything else. I was told to factory reset and now I can’t even redownload the app, which for me means my tv is now unusable. Does anyone know if it’s possible to uninstall the update? I’ve tried all the online suggestions and nothing is working.

    One Channel Just Shows Black Screen on Live Antenna TV

    RCA Model RTRU5527-B-US Hardware ID 7815X Serial YN008R992768 Software version 11.5.0 Build 4312-AM It's been a few days now that only one channel (44.1) just started displaying a black screen. The channel info says I have full strength and it also displays the current show that is playing and a full description of the show. The channel guide even shows the thumbnail image of the current show running. The other channel 4.1 works fine.

    [11.5.0] Build 4312 TCLRokuTV update. DynamicContrast enabled during GameMode

    In build 4312, a bug was reintroduced from version 10.5.0 that kept DynamicContrast enabled when GameMode was also enabled despite the fact it says it is "unavailable." All Inputs with game mode turned ON keeps adjusting the screen brightness even though the Dynamic Contrast is turned OFF/Not available. Inputs with game mode turned OFF do not have this issue and work properly. For example, when watching a show/playing a video game and the scene changes, the screen will flash brightly for half a second then quickly adjust back to the correct brightness. This is extremely annoying and distracting especially for gaming. This is extremely frustrating because the issue was finally fixed after 7 months of not being fixed and now it's back only being fixed for 4 months.
