I hate not figuring it out myself but he saved me from tossing mine out the window lol

[@tfink9130]

I don't know who you are Mr. How ToTech, but I just need you to know that your amazing and thank you so much. I've been having problems with my Roku that's built into my Sharp TV. Most of the apps wouldn't work and I tried a few different things, all of which did not work. Than I came across your video and I have to be honest I thought it was a joke "click the home button 5, arrow up once etc etc. So I said I'll bite, I'll give it a try and I'll be darned, IT WORKED! So again thank you so much have a wonderful holiday, stay healthy and safe.

[@jadencamejo5506]

OMG THIS ACTUALLY WORK THANK YOU BECAUSE LAST TIME MY ROKU WOULD GLITCH THE AUDIO

[@paintedinink5641]

Jaden Camejo wait did it have a weird ringy, fuzzy sound coming from the audio in all the applications?

[@alysacaseabeer3943]

PaintedIn Ink mine did

[@clanshan]

The reset actually worked for me. My tv had no sound (was not muted and set at medium sound). The audio came back after following his reset instructions. Thank you so much. You got yourself a new subscriber

[@patdthomas]

I'm usually skeptical about these EZ-fix type videos, but damn it worked! Home 5X. Up 1X. Rew 2X and FF 2X. Wait 30 seconds and the TV resets itself! Like freaking magic!

[@Beauty3Love]

Thank you!!

[@cwtessener]

I was getting so irritated, thank you man. Actually saved my sanity.

[@katavia4131]

same here i just bought mine less than a week ago so i was heated.

[@reclusivevulture8329]

Yeah same was using it to game and noticed the my pc said i was at 60fps but the tv was stuck at 30 fps and then youtube as well the remote reset fixed it.

[@linkee57]

Ditto ! I thought hrs from now I still won’t have the answer!

Can I hook my blu ray player to my Roku ultra on one of the hdmi port to show on my projector

[@RussiaForScale]

Even though this video is over 3 years old, it still helped me fix an app not loading so thank you very much for helping!

[@lazyswayze3123]

Thank you so much for making this video the very first option worked for me. Something I would do in the future is repeat something like (Home button 5 times Up arrow 1-time Rewind 2 times Fast forward 2 times) If someone had not put this in the comments I would have been trying to figure it out and getting way more frustrated than was needed. But a very good format and a great video that helped me to not have to buy a new TV or pay to have this one fixed. Cheers!

[@Mayylove_]

Exactly

[@jamesclark7248]

I'm an old Army Aviation maintenance officer and test pilot. Our aircraft troubleshooting guides were written using the KISS principle, so always started with checking the simplest, fastest and least costly things that could go wrong. In my case, the Roku power block had dislodged slightly due to a furniture move. It looked OK, but close inspection confirmed that the power light was out. Reseating the plug solved the problem.

[@ronmounts8075]

Outstanding Sir,,, Retired Navy Chief Here,,, I do know how your troubleshooting techniques work lol!!!

[@21ilikemymusicloud]

the first tip helped me fix a glitch on my roku that was driving me nuts!! youtube, netflix and spotify all kept closing every time i tried to open them. thank you so much!

[@deborahclark9355]

Thank you, Thank you, Thank you; my husband's complaining was becoming difficult for me. After looking up and finding this video, I tried both unplugging and the directions for the remote; it worked!!!!

[@rosieaidan]

I was having the blinking white light on the front of the set issue along with no internet connection and this was the only advice that I could find that resolved the problem. Thanks for taking the time to make the excellent video!

[@graceforbes9729]

Thank you thank you thank you!! I woke up today, my birthday, with no sound on the TV. in the past month my bathroom had flooded, my refrigerator went out, and my washing machine stopped draining. I was at my Wit's End when I realized my TV wasn't working and I thought I was going to explode. I did the reset like you said and it fixed it. It was such a relief thank you so much

[@rwys4721]

Your life is terrible

[@xiyonjames6004]

damn .. quadruple homicide

[@kristinkennedy2012]

It worked!!!!! Single mom, just bought it from Walmart in April 2020. Sound went away July 3rd 2020. Thanks so much. I am not going to purchase another T.V. I got to save for my kids college and for my 1st home. I'm grateful for your knowledge.

[@Wardog01Actual]

Dude, my TCL TV stopped outputting sound from my PlayStation on the HDMI ports. ALL 3 OF THEM! Every now and then, it would surprise me with sound, making me think all was well until the very next time I started my PlayStation, no sounds again! I found the link to this video in a Roku forum filed with frustrated TCL TV owners. And the 1st suggestion using the remote control ACTUALLY WORKED! Thank you, to the uploader, for your efforts. I am subbed to you forever! I've been dealing with this sorrow for over a month now, and thanks to you, I can hear when the zombies in Resident Evil are creeping up behind me again. Yay!

[@healedbytamu]

I was so stressed before watching this video. IT SOLVED MY ISSUE!!!! THANK YOU SO MUCH!!

[@libest1125]

Thank you for the video! I just wish I had found this video about 2 months ago before I wasted $125.00 for work that I don't think the repairman really did anyway. The unplugging and plugging it back in, only worked for a while. The resetting with the remote, PRICELESS. I hope it continues to work. Thanks again!!!

[@sharodrobertson927]

My remote won't pair after resetting minds

[@jerbear7952]

What did you pay $125 for?

[@libest1125]

@@jerbear7952 The tv had no picture and he supposedly fixed the problem. The tv did the same thing the next day when I turned it on. I either unplug and plug it back in, or I do the remote control thing and reset it. Basically, I paid $125 for NOTHING!

[@Wardog01Actual]

I already left a comment here earlier this year, but today my TV lost volume AGAIN! I had saved this video to a playlist after it worked the first time. I found it, input the "cheat code" again and PRESTO! Sound's working again. So I'm thanking you again! I'm playing "Metal Gear Solid V" on the PS3, and anyone who's played knows: you NEED sound to enjoy it. So cheers to you, again, fellow traveler. I hope you're filthy rich right now!

[@alysacaseabeer3943]

This really worked, my audio was being weird, shaky and glitchy, this actually fixed it, I was about to get a new TV😂

[@morganrogers1949]

OMgoodness!!! Thank you so much. We woke up to a completely colorized mess. We tried turning off and on and going into settings...nothing. I tried the reset (Home 5x, Up 1x, Rew 2x, FF 2x)...Genius!!! Thank you!!! Why wouldn't Roku share that information with consumers? The world may never know.

[@mexicanlowcarb8286]

Thank you for writing the instructions, because he was going to fast for my brain to catch it all!

[@bouldersmashing]

Omg this actually worked... girl i was about to return the tv LMFAOOOO

[@sskailyns9246]

***UPDATE: I’ve had to do this 3times so far.. how sad that this tv can’t function properly at the basic level but getting a second exchange or return would be such a huge hassle..

Thank you so much I spended like 20-35 minutes fixing connecting to the internet

[@charitawilliams5836]

Unplugging my Roku Express worked for me. Thanks!

To anyone on here who has the same issue I have, my tv was on and plugged into a power strip, I turned off the power strip while the tv was on. I turned on the tv, everything was glitchy and pixelated (I was terrified I power surged my tv and broke it) but after doing the reboot it works fine. Thank you so much man I was worried I’d have to call geek squad!!!!!

[@2NangMan]

...this actually worked! My Alexa Roku skill was giving me "Something Went Wrong" for every command, even asking "Alexa, TV on". I tried the reset thing using the cheat code and it worked. Had to slow down the playback to half speed because the guy talking in this video says it fast, as though it is the cure for cancer and bigPharma is out to get him!
