I got back from a trip this afternoon and my Roku box won’t work.

That’s odd- mine crashed yesterday-the remote control wouldn’t do anything, and the screen was gibberish. I checked the charge on the battery, it was good. So then I unplugged the the power cord and removed the chip from the back, reinserted it, and it still didn’t work.

I then unplugged it again, let it sit for a minute, plugged it back in, turned the tv off and back on, and TA-DAAA, it’s working again. I have the ROKU Ultra.

I don’t know how these things work, I just push the buttons.

Hope this helps.

Interesting...maybe it’s a Roku server glitch. I’ll unplug and reboot it tomorrow.

Thanks.

The last time that I had this type of experience there was a bitcoin mining virus going around on AppleTVs. I do not see anything like that currently being reported for Roku boxes but people sometimes forget that these are tiny computers and they can experience similar maladies.
