You have to do a factory reset to get a link code. If you have access to the menu:
settings> system> advanced system settings> factory reset

Thanks for the post.
We recommend rebooting both your wireless router and your Roku device.
I'd also recommend trying to connect your device to an alternate network, such as a mobile hotspot, to see if you can generate a link code and finish setting up your Roku device. Then once your device has been activated and setup, try switching back to your home wireless network.
Please keep us posted what you find out.
Thanks,
Danny

babygirl1962, can you give more details. If you're getting a Home Screen with all your installed channels/apps then your TV is linked to some account. You can see the account by going to Settings->System->About. If you're saying you're not getting that far then let us know exactly what's going on.

I was told by Amazon to upgrade my Roku device on Roku.com which I did to the recommended 3930X model. I am using RCA cables through an adapter recommended by a tech. During the TV set up I was told to input the link code shown on the TV which I can't do as the screen only show colored bars across the screen.
P.S. I originally tried using the previous device which cut in and out during a movie where I had to go back to Roku and search for the movie to resume watching it so I removed that device and installed the new 3930X model that only shows colored bars across the screen.

I already did factory reset but it still won’t give me my link code. I’ve been trying for 2 days. I really want to activate my tv but it won't give me the link code. please help

be_li-da, when you performed the factory reset your TV should have started over with asking you for your language preference. Did that happen?
- be_li-da4 years agoReel Rookie
yes it did! the tv wont allow me to sign in either i don’t know if that can be a reason or an effect of not linking it
