Roku TV keeps restarting on its own
Your Roku is overheating or has a loose power connection — both are quick fixes. First unplug the TV for 30 seconds, then plug it back in. Then check that the power cable is pushed firmly into both the TV and the wall outlet.
Your Roku restarts because it's overheating, the power cable is loose, or a recent software update caused problems. The fastest fix is a complete power-down reset — unplug it, wait 30 seconds, and plug it back in. If restarts continue, the TV needs better air circulation around it or the power cable needs checking.
- ✓Locate where the power cable connects to the back of your TV
- ✓Know where your nearest power outlet is or if you have an extension cord
- ✓Make sure the area around the TV is clear enough to move if needed

Skip, I just want a technicianCommon mistakes to avoid
- Unplugging for only a few seconds instead of waiting the full 30 seconds — the reset won't work if you rush it.
- Using a power strip with too many other devices plugged in — power strips can cause unstable power that triggers restarts.
- Pushing the power cable in gently instead of firmly until it clicks.
Signs you need professional help
- If you've unplugged and reset the TV, checked the power cable, moved it to an open space, and it still restarts every few minutes, give us a call. If the TV is getting hot to the touch during restarts or restarts started right after a factory reset that won't stop, we can check whether it's a hardware power supply issue.
