Thank you so much!! I just came home and turned on the TV to a red and black screen. Searched the internet, and then TH-cam for a solution and your video popped up 1st. You're a life saver👍. Don't have the money right now to buy a new TV.
Hell yes!!! You saved my 75" TCL TV from getting my foot, fist, and remote through the screen!!! Thank you!!!
I felt the same way, I was about to throw mine out in the middle of the yard. Just had it 2 years and there was no telling when the boss would have let me buy a replacement.
😂😂😂😂😂nah fr
So this actually works bc my tv went black yesterday for sum reason but I can still hear when u turn the volume up
FOOT LOL
I'm the same model TV and it didn't work it's still black even though I tried both of the two
This happens to our TV about once a year. I keep coming back to your video for help. Works every time. Thank you!
even through this was posted 2 years ago you're a literary a life saver!!! it worked after many attempts of messing around with stuff and I decided to watch TH-cam and this worked thank you!!
Thank you so much!!! My family and I rented an Airbnb and encountered this issue and your video saved our night and the whole trip 💕💕💕💕💕
This actually worked like a charm. Just like u said man. Its awesome when a vid actually tells the truth and has real good instructions. Thank you!🔥☝
You are a life saver. My roku tv does this from time to time and I always go back to your video for a reboot 🙌🏼
I figured out (with my tv, not sure if this works on all the tvs but give it a try for your tv) turn on a video, any video or live tv will work, hit the settings button * > picture settings > customize picture mode > fine tune picture > and turn your backlight to 25%... I've tested this for over a month and haven't had my screen turn black since. I watched a few electricians talk about his problem and all of them have said its a lack of power to the back-lit LEDS. I tried this and it worked like a charm. Hopefully it helps with all the the other ONN roku smart tvs out there, good luck! 😁
OMG thank you sooooooo much!!!!! I was extremely stressed out about this and finally after almost crying I thought to myself "Woman relax there has to be someone amazing on TH-cam that knows how to fix this"
OMG, you're a miracle worker! The first option didn't work the first time, but did the second. Thank you!!
You are a life saver 🙏. Thank you so much! The first step worked. I cannot believe it. Half of my screen was black for two weeks and we almost bought a new one...and than l stumbled over your video. Thank you 👍👍
Ive come to this same tutorial again because i forgot the combination and it really helped, thanks!
Thank you so much for the fix!! Bought my Westinghouse 75" ROKU TV a little over 2 months ago and woke up to the right side of screen showing a black shadow. Thought I was going to need a new TV since the Westinghouse 1 yr warranty requires you to box the TV up (preferably in the original box it came in) and send back to them at your expense for warranty repair.
Fix #1 worked for me but after it cycled through, I did have to turn it off and then turn back on. But I'm back up and running....thanks again!!
OMG THANK YOU!!! I just got this TV a few months ago and was about to be extremely pissed off thinking it was already broken. The first method fixed my problem so again thank you so much!! :D
Very helpful an straight to the point. Thanks a bunch
Edit: I didn't have a whole black screen. I had black spots where white should b an this worked. I punched in the code to fast the first 2 times. Take ur time when u punch in the code this worked nicely
Thank you so much bro I was so scared
Me too 🙂☺️🤗👍👍
Thanks for sharing this! My issue was fixed by doing the first solution. My menu screens were working and audio too, but starting any video (any app) would be a black screen. Remote button press sequence fixed it -- glad I didn't need to hard reset, which is what Roku Support page suggested (and not this??).
Update: Wow! It actually worked!!! This is awesome. 💯💯💯You went straight to the point and made it clear twice, and it WORKED FOR MY INSIGNIA ROKU THAT WAS FLICKERING FROM LIGHT TO A DARKER SCREEN MAKING IT HARD TO SEE PROGRAM CLEARLY. I CHANGED PICTURE SETTINGS SEVERAL TIMES and nothing worked until this video. THANKS 4 TAKIBG TGE TIME TO POST AN EXCELLENT VIDEO THAT WORKED. NO NONSENSE TALKING BUT A REAL SOLUTION . I subscribe based on this alone
Ok, did the button pushes and thought it didn't work yet it took a few seconds for it to shut off. I hope this takes care of it going light then turning dark with the picture screen. But not sure yet
i’ve watched so many with the key combinations and they didn’t work! until i did the key combinations then unplugged the television like you said. NOW IT WORKS🥳🥳🥳🥳THANKS MANNN🙏🏾
WOW!!! My son and I are blown away! IT WORKED the first time! Thanks for your help.
Jon DeVet same here
It worked. We used the pulling the plug out of the wall method. Because we still had a Menu and Channel Apps visible. It started when the Wallpaper became Black and separated from the Home /Menu page. Thank you so very much. We have subscribed to your channel. 😊
Mine still isn't working but im glad you were able to help so many people
Yeah it didn’t work for me either 😩
ye mines not working either its still just completely bkack
Same 😢
Same
Same
Thanks again man! I had this problem a year ago and used your video to fix the problem and just had this issue happen again. Again your video saved the day. Thank you!
Second one helped. Thought my TV was done for. And I just got it last month. Thanks bro
Man I appreciate your help, I put TH-cam and Netflix and other streaming services and I was freaking out because the videos were all black only audio, so I found your video and saved me! 👏🏻
Thank you soooo very much. I am 70 years old and I thought that I had lost my tv, but the first step worked. Thank you again. God bless you.
This is honestly one of the most useful videos I’ve watched in a long time
theres a ton of awesome youtube channels. the key is to look thru content and visit the channel instead of watching what an algorithm is telling u to watch. after a while even the algorithm learns not to show u bs too much
Thanks step one worked great
CAP
This is the most useful remote code, but this video is $#!+ as the code referenced clears the cache, not fix black screen! This guy is rubbish!
Thank you so much!!!! I'm so relieved that the first fix worked perfectly because I thought my tv, that I haven't had for a year yet, was messed up.
Did this really work
@@ronniechidsey1709 yes it surely did. I was settling in for the night and was wanting to watch a lil tv before falling asleep. When I noticed my tv showing very dim, I got on Google to search a solution and this was the 2nd pop up video that I watched and it worked, unlike the 1st one I watched.
Worked perfectly for my 50” Philips/Roku. I used the remote code method. Thank you for sharing this wisdom!
Thank you! The 5-1-2-2 combo worked!!! So grateful! 💖🙏🏾
Thank you! It worked. I used the first method but here’s a little tip: My tv was still blank after I did the steps so just manually turn off the tv with the button on the side & then turn it back on. Once you do that the brand of the tv will appear once cut back on. In my case it’s Hisense TV. Hope this helps someone out. I subscribed because it worked for me. When in doubt TH-cam it out! 🤣🤣
Mine isn't still working. Can u help me out
@@corporateretreatandmarketi1435 try unplugging and letting it sit for a few minutes then plug back in
Mine is still dead. Just a flash on the right side of the screen when it turns on, then like every ten seconds. It's less than two years old.
Tried all of tricks.
THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR THIS! I was in panic mode but the first step fixed mine!
Thank you soo much it worked
Every time I have tech problems I watch a video like this and it never worked until today thank you
I used the one with remote and it worked!! Lifesaver!! Thanks for sharing with us.
Thank you for the video!! We thought our TV was done for. Great help right here!! Thanks again!!!
Thank you! Worked great..
Note to all... Just make sure you hit home 5 times instantly, not after you go to the home screen.
Heck yea man!!!! So awesome!!! U fixed my shop tv brother!! I been panicking all day just outta nowhere today my tv looked normal until I would watch a video then the video would be really dark . Did ur first reset and now it’s all btr! Thx a million my man!
Wow your Awesome! My tv subscriptions were all black & red color so I was very concerned. Now after doing that everything is back to normal! Thank you!!!
Thank you so much. I was freaking out that I was gonna have to buy another tv. I did have to do the first step twice before my screen returned back to normal.
Short and to the point. Un plugging for a minute did it. Thanks a bunch!
I figured out (with my tv, not sure if this works on all the tvs but give it a try for your tv) turn on a video, any video or live tv will work, hit the settings button * > picture settings > customize picture mode > fine tune picture > and turn your backlight to 25%...

Thanks for posting. First solution worked for my Hisense tv. Lost my background only, so it was black, but had total functionality. This hack reset my tv and I was able to reset my background and screen saver. Much appreciated!
I love you for sharing. I watched both steps, but because I was in a HURRY, I skipped to the second step, unplugged the tv counted to 30, plugged it back in, and BOOM, I was so tickled, I came out smiling, telling my husband, it worked!! I was on my way to Amazon to shop for another smart tv,

YOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!! THANK YOU MY DUDE!!! LITERALLY 120 SECONDS AFTER WATCHING MY TV FIXED. THIS IS ABSOLUTELY CLUTCH. HISENSE ROKU TV 55". I HAVE NEVER SEEN SOMETHING MORE USE CORRECT.
*The second option actually worked. My screen goes dark only when I go to the PS5 screen and the unplugging it, waiting for 30 seconds, plug it back in and turning it on fixed it. Thank you.*
Mine too...only mine didn't get fixed....it's perm stuck. Started when I used the PS5.
Doesn't do it when I use the other TV's though.
Unplugging it and wait for a minute WORKED! So easy thanks!!
Thank you! The first step worked for me. For some reason my home screen wasn't loading properly. I could see use the apps that have a button on the remote but couldn't use anything I need to access from the home screen! Thanks again for your help!
Thank you!!!! You're a life saver. I have older parents and they were so sad they didn't know what to do. I followed your first step and it worked! Thank you! Thank you!!
Wish I could say the same. I’m in the same situation but nothing is working. Can’t even see anything with a flashlight on the screen like some have suggested. TV isn’t even a year old.
@@05weasel Aww I'm sorry to hear. The first step he showed was what worked on my parent's tv. Maybe make sure the tv is turned on (Some tv have a red glowing button along the corner to indicate if the tv is on or not.) And then try to do the steps. Really sorry you are experiencing this. :( Hope there's some way get it working again
@@Oneshelee thankfully it was still under warranty so TCL is sending a replacement. Even told us to do whatever we wanted with the old one. Might see if I can get it working.
@05weasel OMG! That's great news!! 🙌
WOW ‼️‼️‼️‼️ THANK YOU THAT WAS VERY HELPFUL FOR ME YOU’RE THE REAL DEAL
The 1st option worked for me! I didn't have a black screen, but a dark screen and all my settings were normal. It looked like it was on a colorblind setting almost. When I turned on an app like TH-cam, it was fine. However, if I clicked on a video, THEN it would change to darkness. Thanks for this video!
Fantastic! The first combination of buttons worked great!
Omg dude thanks so much it help me so much I was literally calling my cable service and everything you saved my life.
I guess this must be a common problem with Roku tvs. I got one last week and it did this today. Movie mode worked, but other picture modes were extremely dark. I went to settings and did a factory reset and it seemed to fix it, so hopefully it's just a glitch in the software. It does make me feel uneasy though since I just got it.
Hey bro your the best. My girlfriend called roku and they were saying crap about no one to help on a weekend. While the agent was talking to her I hit up TH-cam and came across your video. And instantly the first way you mentioned worked immediately. THANK YOU MAN. I WILL SUBSCRIBE TO YOUR CHANNEL RIGHT NOW.
Omg!! It really did work on my 70-inch roku. Thank you so much!
My husband thought the tv and his game systems were broken. You saved him from going crazy lol thank you!
You saved my life I thought I had to buy another tv with money i do not have thank you so so so so much.
Did it actually work
Yes it actually worked. I was thinking the same thing.
Yes it actually works my tv does it more times than it probably should its a cheap 32" but it does the trick everytime
Bro if this video ever gets taken down I’m gonna be very sad. I’ve been coming here for YEARS and it ALWAYS works
Commenting for future ppl!
Thank goodness I don’t need to buy a new TV. The bottom HALF of my tv was black!
I have a 50” ONN Roku TV that is 2 years old. I was playing my PS5 when it crashed on me.
I tried all the tricks all night. Nothing. Woke up the next day and still had the issue.
What I did to actually make this method work for me:
1) Unplug all HDMI devices from the TV
2) Turn brightness to Darker (the last option. I saw that ppl say to do normal but that didn’t work so I tried the lowest setting)
3) Do the remote reset
4) un plug and replug in the tv again.
5) repeat (I did this 3 times before my tv fixed itself)
Thank you guys!!
Thanks a million!! I have a 65” TCL and hadn’t watched it in almost a week and this fixed it in less than 5 minutes. The first step worked 💖
YAY! This worked for me! The first step, clicking home button 5 times, volume up 1x then rewind 2 x and forward 2x! Thank you!
Your a life saver man. This has happened to me twice now but the first time it fixed itself on its own, My issue was that my screen was on and I could see color but it was just super dark and no matter what mode I put it to it wouldn't change but thank you for this!
How did you fix it
@@SheLuvvJakai if you had the same problem too the first one will probably work, it’s what I did and it fixed
I got the same issue with a super dark screen but it didn’t work for me
Have you foxed it? I have same problem i have roku stick
@@meregonkrazy9725same
The 1st one worked for me. Thank so much for your help!!
First one worked! I bought this TV only 6 months ago and was getting anxious. Thanks!
Thanks for this!👍 I've had my TCL Roku TV for almost 2 years (maybe 3) and this is the first time I had a problem.
Strangely, what fixed mine was casting your video to my TV. LOL! For some reason I decided to see if casting from my phone would force it to work since, as you mentioned, I could see the volume number go up/down and hear the sound when pressing my remote buttons. Anyway, I may not be so lucky next time so thank you very much! I have something important to watch tomorrow so I've written down your instructions for future reference. Have a great week! 🙂
For some reason when I tried to cast to the TV..it started working also. Thanks
1st one and thank you I thought my tv was messed up and I just got it like a couple months ago
Only fix for me the black screen is cut it on and it eventually cuts on for me but I have like a sparkling back ground in the dark areas or it looks like strobing lines moveing real fast upwards
Second one word
The second one work
Same here ❤️
Same
Thank you so much! My tv got lines while I was watching it so I knew there had to be a easy fix. You saved me lots of time and money.
I couldn't figure out why my Roku TV would dim, then become brighter. Was driving me nuts. This worked. Thanks.
You totally helped me out here. I thought my tv was done for. Thanks so much.
Lucky, didnt work for me
Thank you so much I was scared and confused when it happened
This worked for me! The reset with the remote combination! Thank you!
I am shocked that this worked so perfectly!! Did the first steps. Problem solved! I had no sound or picture just the blue/ black screen when turned on. AWSOME to know this.
Increíble, si me funciono la combinación de botones
Gracias 🙏 desde México 🇲🇽
Thank you! Straight to the point!
you’re a life saver man. my screen wasn’t technically black nor flicker but the screen looked very weird every time i went on my ps5 or tried watching tv. it was like a dark ash color it would still play evening & i’d be able to see the screen but it was just a weird color. i did this method & it worked!!!!!😊
This worked using the first step!! My videos or games weren’t displaying! Thanks so much!!
Man, you are my hero. I was only able to use my TV in the movie setting. I used the first trick while on my PS4, listening to tour video and everything was happening as you were saying it. You’re awesome!
This happened to me today. Only movie mode worked. All the other picture modes were extremely dark, to the point one could barely see what was happening on the screen. I went to settings and did a factory reset and it fixed it. I only use movie mode anyways, but I still didn't like the fact that the other modes seemed broken and I just got the tv.
Yooo this worked I almost got my butt whooped thank you❤️
lol
You And the million other people who posted the same comment
Lmfaooo what a save
I already did
Bro that's the same reason I came here
Woke up tv was weird dark spots etc . Did the usual search etc found how to take it all apart replace led lights . I can buy another one for 300 plus some change . As a former equipment mechanic etc i call that going deep . Like my engine won’t run some guys take it out right away . I always would say did you check your ground cable . This did work thank you sir
First method worked beautifully ! Thank you !!
yes, yes! You're the man . . .
I feel like I owe you $100.
Totally worked step by step per your instructions, exactly as you said it would. Didn’t have to unplug anything. Thanks!
DO you think it wll work if you have a crack in your sceen?
The first step worked for me. Many thanks.
Thanks so much!!! It worked for us. I almost thought we would have to buy a new TV. Thanks again! Great video!
Dude this was awesome! I thought I was going to have to buy a new tv, but the first course of action you prescribed worked and I’m very grateful for you posting this instructional video.
mine only shows alittle light literally, mind you ii dont have the remote ii use my phone and its not working.
@@neveahjeff12 try unplugging it from the wall for about a minute then plug it back in and turn it on.
This is the first time something has messed up and a video actually worked
Awesome! It worked on our 65" TCL. Hope it stays working. Thank you.
Update. It did not work for long. Poop!
This didn't work for my JVC 70" RoKu. I can see it doing what you said because the red light powers down, flickers and then back on so I know it's performing the reset but it stays black with a mili-second flash of roku and never leaves the black screen. I have tried it like 6x plus did the unplug reset as well. I've had it for 2 years. Was so excited hoping it would fix ours but maybe we have bigger problems or backlight issues. Thanks for the info! So glad it worked for others!
Omg thank you so much I thought my tv was frl broken!!
Thanks! The first one worked. My dad handed me the owners manual. I laughed and said I got ol’ reliable in my pocket
First step worked. You are the best. Thank you!!!
First step worked for me! Thank you so much!!!!! ❤️❤️❤️
2nd one following the 1st did the trick! I had tried unplugging it before (pretty much what a power outage had already done) to no avail. But trying #1 first and THEN #2 did the trick! Thanks so much!!!
First step worked like a charm. Thank you so much!
I had about 20 people over trying to watch the superbowl and this worked so thanks bro appreciate it 👍
Just watched this first worked thank you so much bro definitely subscribing
Thank you so much igor a new tv and i was so ready to return it thank you ! 😭
Man, I’m jealous of all the people this worked for. Oh well
I was experiencing blue screen on different platform movies . Tried this and it fixes my issue. Thank you!
This was soooo helpful great instructions and it did exactly what you said and IT WORKED ❤️
I appreciate the info and glad it worked for others. I've tried everything. These tvs are GARBAGE!! Right after warranty... never had to do this with my Samsung...🤨
Me and my girl are switching to Samsung roku is not the go
Haven’t had our 70” Samsung TV 2 years and It already died 🤨
The second one worked for me, I've been trying to play my xbox on my roku its acted fine up until a few days ago I noticed the screen stayed black when I switched over from cable to my xbox but now its working fine, much appreciated for the help man 👍🏻
My TCL has black screen of death i had it 3 years it sucks so gonna get a different brand maybe onn or Hisense
Thanks a lot almost went an bought a brand new tv today
The first one works
So glad this worked on my Westinghouse Roku. Very helpful video
Thanks for the video! I had some success with unplugging power in the past. The picture would always come back, but it might be immediately or 20 minutes after turning my TLC tv. Your remote trick worked right away! This might be a reliable way to get the picture back the next time it happens.
I figured out (with my tv, not sure if this works on all the tvs but give it a try for your tv) turn on a video, any video or live tv will work, hit the settings button * > picture settings > customize picture mode > fine tune picture > and turn your backlight to 25%... I've tested this for over a month and haven't had my screen turn black since. I watched a few electricians talk about his problem and all of them have said its a lack of power to the back-lit LEDS. I tried this and it worked like a charm. Hopefully it helps with all the the other ONN roku smart tvs out there, good luck! 😁
