One day your on Roku TV is working just
0:02
fine and the next it's like it gave up
0:04
on life. No sound, no picture, maybe
0:06
just a tiny red light staring back at
0:08
you. Annoying? Definitely. But before
0:11
you think about pricey repairs or
0:12
replacing it, don't panic. In this
0:14
video, I'll walk you through the most
0:16
effective fixes to get your TV working
0:18
again. And the best part is most of them
0:20
are quick and easy to try at home. If
0:22
this helps, give the video a like so
0:24
YouTube recommends it to others. And
0:26
don't forget to subscribe for more
0:28
simple fixes that save you time and
0:30
money. The first thing to check is
0:31
power. Make sure your OnRku TV is
0:34
plugged directly into a wall outlet and
0:36
not into a surge protector or smart plug
0:38
because those can sometimes cause
0:40
issues. To be absolutely sure the outlet
0:42
is working, plug in something else like
0:44
a phone charger or a lamp to test it.
0:46
While you're there, take a good look at
0:48
the TV's power cable. Check for any
0:50
damage, frays, or a loose connection
0:52
where it plugs into the back of the TV.
0:54
If something looks off, that could
0:56
easily be the reason your TV won't turn
0:58
on. Next, let's rule out the remote.
1:00
Even if the batteries look fine, swap
1:01
them for fresh ones. Weak batteries
1:03
sometimes don't send a strong enough
1:05
signal. Then, try turning on the TV with
1:07
the physical power button built into the
1:09
TV itself. Depending on your model, it's
1:11
usually under the screen or on the back
1:13
near the edge. Also, make sure nothing
1:15
is blocking the signal path between your
1:17
remote and the TV's sensor. You'd be
1:19
surprised how often something simple,
1:20
like an object in front of the TV,
1:22
causes problems. If that doesn't work,
1:24
it's time for a quick power reset.
1:26
Unplug the TV from the wall completely.
1:28
With it still unplugged, press and hold
1:30
the physical power button on the TV, not
1:32
the remote, for about 20 to 30 seconds.
1:34
Once you've done that, leave the TV
1:36
unplugged for at least a full minute.
1:38
Then, plug it back in and try turning it
1:40
on again. This simple reset clears out
1:42
any stuck power issues and often fixes
1:44
the problem. Now, if the screen still
1:46
looks black, but you suspect the TV
1:48
might actually be on, for example, you
1:49
hear sound or see a faint glow, try a
1:51
special reset code using your remote,
1:53
press the home button five times, then
1:55
press up once, then rewind twice and
1:57
fast forward twice. Do it carefully step
1:59
by step. This will trigger a soft reset
2:02
that can bring the display back. Another
2:03
step is to unplug all HDMI cables and
2:06
external devices like game consoles or
2:08
streaming sticks. With only the power
2:10
cable connected, try turning on the TV.
2:12
Sometimes a connected device can confuse
2:15
the TV and keep it from starting
2:16
correctly. If the TV powers on,
2:18
reconnect your devices one by one and
2:21
test each input. Also, try different
2:23
HDMI ports or cables, since a faulty
2:26
cable can cause a black screen. Here's
2:27
another unusual but effective trick.
2:29
Unplug the TV again and find the vent on
2:32
the back. Use a hair dryer on a cool or
2:34
warm setting, not hot, and blow air into
2:36
the vent for about 2 to 3 minutes. Then
2:38
let the TV rest and cool down for 15 to
2:41
20 minutes before plugging it back in.
2:43
This can help if the TV shut itself down
2:45
due to overheating. Finally, grab a
2:47
flashlight and shine it very close to
2:49
the screen in a dark room. Look
2:51
carefully to see if you can spot any
2:52
faint outlines or movement on the
2:54
screen. If you do, that means the screen
2:56
is working, but the backlight isn't. At
2:58
that point, the TV will likely need
3:00
professional repair for the backlight.
3:01
If you don't see anything at all, the
3:03
issue could be deeper inside, and a
3:05
technician might be necessary. And
3:07
that's it for this guide on how to fix
3:08
your on Roku TV when it won't turn on. I
3:11
hope one of these steps helped get your
3:13
screen working again. If this video
3:15
saved you time, give it a thumbs up. It
3:17
really helps. And don't forget to
