I’ve noticed that my Roku stick will get hot when connected to my TV. I guess its proximity to the TV might be the cause. Are there any recommended solutions to resolve this problem? :exploding_head:

Same problem! My method is to unplug the cable from your Roku player and make it cool down. The official also recommends using an HDMI extender for long-term use.

If you find your Roku is getting warmer, it’s time to take some measures.

  • First, turn off your Roku device. Shut it down and unplug it from the TV or other power sources.

  • Place it in a well-ventilated area.

  • Do not place cold or damp objects on the device or it will be damaged.

  • The ideal cooling time for the device is about 10 minutes.

These are some key points to prevent Roku from overheating.

  1. Always clean your Roku device. Any dust will block its ventilation holes.

  2. If you place your Roku device on a closed shelf or in a cabinet when using it, it will not be able to dissipate heat properly due to a lack of circulation.

  3. Use a HDMI extender.
