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? ![]()
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.
-
Always clean your Roku device. Any dust will block its ventilation holes.
-
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.
-
Use a HDMI extender.
Highly recommend the fire tv stick, it’s never been that way!
