Roku TVs can freeze, slow down, or stop
0:03
responding unexpectedly. And the
0:05
quickest way to fix most of these issues
0:07
is with a reset or reboot. In this
0:09
video, I'll show you step by step how to
0:11
reset and restart your Roku TV, both
0:14
with a remote and without one, so you'll
0:16
always have a solution when something
0:18
goes wrong. If you have your Roku TV
0:20
remote and want to completely reset the
0:22
TV, go to the settings menu. From there,
0:25
open system, then advanced system
0:26
settings, and select factory reset. The
0:29
TV will show a code you'll need to enter
0:30
to confirm. And once you do, the TV will
0:33
erase your apps, accounts, and settings
0:35
and return to its original factory
0:37
condition, just like when you first
0:39
bought it. Before resetting, remember
0:41
this wipes everything. So, only use it
0:43
if nothing else works. If you don't have
0:45
the remote, you can still reset the TV
0:47
manually. Look at the backer side of
0:49
your Roku TV and find the small reset
0:51
button or pinhole. Use a paper clip to
0:54
press and hold it for about 10 seconds
0:55
until the screen goes black and the Roku
0:58
logo appears again. Another quick option
1:00
is to unplug the TV's power cord, wait
1:02
about 30 seconds, and plug it back in.
1:04
This won't erase anything, but it helps
1:06
clear temporary glitches. Depending on
1:08
how long the reset button is held, the
1:11
TV will either reboot or perform a full
1:13
reset. If your remote isn't working,
1:16
remove the batteries. Press every button
1:18
firmly to clear stuck contacts and put
1:20
in fresh batteries to rule out a remote
1:22
issue before troubleshooting the TV. If
1:24
you only need to restart your Roku TV
1:26
without deleting anything, there are two
1:28
easy methods with the remote. The first
1:31
method is using a key combination. Press
1:33
the home button five times, then press
1:35
up once, rewind twice, and fast forward
1:38
twice. The TV may pause for a moment
1:40
before it restarts itself. The second
1:42
method is from the settings menu. Go to
1:44
settings, then system, then power, and
1:46
select system restart. This will reboot
1:49
the TV normally without removing your
1:51
apps or accounts. These two options are
1:53
great for fixing slow performance,
1:55
freezing, or lag. If the remote is
1:57
missing, the fastest way to reboot your
1:59
Roku TV is to unplug it directly from
2:01
the wall for about 30 seconds and plug
2:03
it back in. This works like a soft
2:05
restart and is safe for the TV. Another
2:07
option is to use the Roku mobile app on
2:10
your phone. This only works if your
2:12
phone and TV were already connected to
2:14
the same Wi-Fi network before the TV
2:16
froze. Open the app, select your TV, go
2:18
to settings, choose system restart, and
2:21
the TV will reboot immediately. It's a
2:23
simple way to control the TV when the
2:25
remote isn't available. That's it for
2:27
this video on how to reset and reboot
2:29
your Roku TV with or without a remote. I
2:32
hope these step-by-step methods make it
2:34
easier to fix your TV anytime it freezes
2:36
or stops responding. If you found this
