This happens to our TV about once a year. I keep coming back to your video for help. Works every time. Thank you!
Went to sleep after trying to fix it for hours but woke up, did the first step (home button 5 times, up once, back twice and forward twice) and it worked!! Thank you!
How long did you have to wait until it worked?
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
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 😢

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! 😁
My husband thought the tv and his game systems were broken. You saved him from going crazy lol 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 💕💕💕💕💕
Thank you so much!! I just came home and turned on the TV to a red and black screen. Searched the internet, and then RUclips 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.
Every time I have tech problems I watch a video like this and it never worked until today thank you
This definitely did work!! I have a projector
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
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 🙂☺️🤗👍👍
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.
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
Man I appreciate your help, I put RUclips 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! 👏🏻
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!🔥☝
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.
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!
This (step 1) did the trick. Wish all troubleshooting videos were this efficient!
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!!!
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! 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 RUclips 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.
OMG, you're a miracle worker! The first option didn't work the first time, but did the second. Thank you!!
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??).
My tv has been out for months! Done the second option didn’t work. But did it again and bam!!! My tv is back working. Just keep trying it over and over again you guys!
*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.
Second one helped. Thought my TV was done for. And I just got it last month. Thanks bro
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
Worked for me. Looked at a bunch of other videos first.. this was the last video I watched. Saved me $$$$. I was ready to give up and buy a new TV
. Thank you! 👍👍
Ive come to this same tutorial again because i forgot the combination and it really helped, thanks!
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 🤨
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.
Neither of them worked for me. Still have a black screen
Mines doin the same right mow
Mine tio
Same, just opened out of box. Wont turn on
@@odst2247 bruh same here. Fresh out the box today. I left it on while I went to work and when I got back I can hear sound but can’t see anything
Same here
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
Omg!! It really did work on my 70-inch roku. Thank you so much!
WOW!!! My son and I are blown away! IT WORKED the first time! Thanks for your help.
Jon DeVet same here
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 RUclips that knows how to fix this"
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🙏🏾

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
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 RUclips and this worked thank you!!
Thank you! Worked great..
Note to all... Just make sure you hit home 5 times instantly, not after you go to the home screen.
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
I was so skeptical, but it worked for me! Thanks!
Thank you for the video. It worked. I used the code pattern. I can see what's happening again.
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!! 🙌
I tried them both I’m so sad they didn’t work. Does it make a difference that my TVs power cord is connected to a power strip not an actual port on the wall?
My TV is plugged into a power strip and it worked for me but thats all I know
Try trying to navigate an app. Fixed mine
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
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 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!
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.
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!

Perfect hack to fix the tv, had it 4 years with no issues, I would have never figured this out on my own, brilliant!!!
Literally this video help with everything i thought my xbox was broke it was my tv whole time thank u
ok I found a fix for mine after trying the reset and unplugging I changed the picture settings to low power and no more flickering this fix has lasted for days now, still time to get a new one
This is the first time something has messed up and a video actually worked
yes, yes! You're the man . . .
I feel like I owe you $100.
You beautiful human!!!! You don't even know how much you just helped me, give this man the NOBEL PEACE PRIZE!!! Thank you!
Thanks so much!!! It worked for us. I almost thought we would have to buy a new TV. Thanks again! Great video!
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
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!
THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR THIS! I was in panic mode but the first step fixed mine!
Thank you soo much it worked
This worked for me! The reset with the remote combination! Thank you!
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. 😊
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
Sadly both didn't work for mine. Please let me know if anyone got it fixed by a repair shop or TCL customer service. Wanna know if it's really worth taking it to the repair.
same
@@allysonpeck mine is like when I got RUclips it’s just a. Black screen
@@azyriaelise oh.....
Black screen shows for me when I go to live tv
It didn’t work for me at the start but after I did the button combination and the tv stopped blinking I went to the screen and pressed the restart button on the screen for 15 secs and it actually worked so try doing both the buttons combo then the restart button and hopefully it works
The trick with the keys is no different than the reset that is in the settings menu. It resets the software or firmware that runs the TV. It is no magic fix. Unplugging it kind of does the same thing. If firmware is your problem, which is very seldom, then this may help. Most problems are from the poor design and inability for the TCL to keep locked on a video signal. It flashes black when it is looking for a signal and it comes back on when it finds it again. It all depends on your cable box, game machine or computer signal you are using as an input. Better quality TV's like Lg and Visio don't have this problem.
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,

I had about 20 people over trying to watch the superbowl and this worked so thanks bro appreciate it 👍
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!
Man, I’m jealous of all the people this worked for. Oh well
Same here. No luck. Oh well, new TV it is
Make sure you tv isn’t connected to any internet. Unplug for about 30 seconds to 1 minute and it should work. Thanks for the video! 👍🏾
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 RUclips 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.
THANK, YOU. THANK YOU, THANK YOU MR WORLD OF TECH!! The second option worked. My friend & I thought we were gonna have to buy another TV, GREAT NOW WE CAN CONTINUE ENJOYING OUR NIGHT! 😅🎉
Wow your a genius it worked for me, my screen was dark and I couldn't see anything and when i followed the directions in the video mu tv got back to normal. Thank you !!
Bro was your tv dark and some lights
Sadly, non of these helped
same... same symptoms but not the same cure
Same here

Anyone having the issue but only when playing the Xbox? I've tryed swapping my hdmi n still does it
Try hitting the star button on the remote. Change the brightness level to normal instead of bright, then hit the star button again. ...
Omg dude thanks so much it help me so much I was literally calling my cable service and everything you saved my life.
Till this day this still works thank you very much 😊
First one worked - the combination of buttons. Thank you!
This helped a lot I was so lost do you know why this happenes
I had the same thoughts as many comments on here . WHAT I JUST BOUGHT THIS T.V ???? AND IT IS ALREADY TOAST !! (Thank You ) it worked on the first try ..
WOW ‼️‼️‼️‼️ THANK YOU THAT WAS VERY HELPFUL FOR ME YOU’RE THE REAL DEAL
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!!!!!😊
THANK YOU!!!! YOU JUST SAVED ME $500 My screen was black I was so bummed I went out looking to buy a new TV and I thought to try ONE LAST option RUclips! Thank you! The FIRST! ( Home button 5x Up 1x rewind 2x FWD 2x) thanks again!
Thank you so much!!! Does anybody knows what causes it to turn black like that? It still has sound. I almost took my t.v. back as i had just bought it.I am just curious why it does this and must be they all do it? Thanks
Because it is a pos. Cheap
@@JohnnieV Mine has only done it once so far
Thank you so much bro... I swear I thought I was going to have to buy a new tv... I love u lol... Oh and it was the 1st one that worked
GTFOH LMAOOO this ish REALLY WORK!!!! 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
Yes it does just had to do it again it wirks every time
Me to man, that's Bullshit! When you purchase an expensive it, you shouldn't have to use a fuckin cheat code to be able to use it????
Thank you so much I was scared and confused when it happened
Awesome! It worked on our 65" TCL. Hope it stays working. Thank you.
Update. It did not work for long. Poop!
This worked using the first step!! My videos or games weren’t displaying! Thanks so much!!
Sadly this didn't work for me, I think my LEDs are dead or somethin
Mine has black screen i had it 3 years so gonna go with a different brand
It powers on no Picture on display
32" TCL.ROKU 720P

@@unknownwolf4046 I have the TCL 4k Roku just for exactly 2 years and I am now having this problem! Hopefully this helps in your decision. Btw....mine flickers black screen every 14 seconds. The first fix he showed did work for me though 🤷🏾♀️
1st option. Got rid of my green screen!!!
The first one is Roku’s version of up up, down down, left right, left right, B A, start 😂😂
My entire childhood, right here😂😂
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 RUclips, it was fine. However, if I clicked on a video, THEN it would change to darkness. Thanks for this 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.

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?
Hey this didn't work for me anybody got any other idea's?
Yes mine too. You get it fixed
I'm thinking smash it with a hammer, that's where I'm at at this point
Did you find something too work
@@ygbodybuilder3023 no, I tried everything. Used the remote code reset method over and over.. one out of like 10 times it looked like it was going to work, showed the TCL screen for a few seconds and went black again. I unplugged it several times, held down the power button, pressed the reset button on the back, nothing worked. I really think they did this on purpose. The tv has nothing wrong with it except it literally refuses to work.
Blankness of Face I’m in the same boat as you I’ve tried just about everything I even tried the little rest button on the back and still nothing
I had a flash back to playing Contra on Nintendo while trying this code...lol But neither worked for me...😔

Damn this works ,no filler either ,really appreciate it
