Why Is My Roku Not Turning On?

A bad power cable or not enough power getting to the device.Loose connections.A missing update.A firmware issue.Overheating.
Regardless of the cause of the issue, there are some things to try if your Roku device isn’t working properly.
How Do I Get My Roku to Turn On?
If your Roku won’t turn on, here are a few troubleshooting steps you can try in order from easiest, most likely to work to hardest, least likely to work.
What to Do If Your Roku Is Not Working
If none of the troubleshooting steps above work to get your Roku going again, you should reach out to Roku for support. The company might be able to solve the problem, or if the Roku device is still under warranty, to replace it altogether. If your Roku is plugged into a USB port on your TV for power, try plugging it in with an external power cord. Sometimes the USB connection can’t pull enough power to operate the Roku. Similarly, try using different cables with your Roku device (Roku branded if you can) to see if the cables you are using to make the connections to power and with the TV might be bad. If an update is available for your Roku, it should begin to download and update the device.
