Check the Connecting Cables
If Roku is not working on your Sharp TV, double-check the power cord and ensure it fits snugly into your TV and a wall outlet. You should also try plugging the TV into another outlet to see if a dead outlet is an issue.
Hard Reset your Sharp Roku TV
A hard reset is very effective at clearing bugs and glitches that may have occurred within the TV. This is done by completely discharging the TV and wiping all temporary memory.
It’s worth pointing out that a hard reset does not erase any of your saved preferences or downloaded content.
How to hard reset your Sharp Roku TV:
- Unplug the TV from the wall power.
- Disconnect any devices from the TV.
- Press and hold the ‘Power’ button on the TV for 30 seconds.
- Wait a further 10 minutes for the TV to fully discharge.
- Plug the TV back in and reconnect your devices.

Your Roku remote could be experiencing interference with the infrared (IR) connection to your TV. Sometimes this spottiness requires multiple presses to the power or home buttons before the TV responds. Also, point the remote directly at the TV, and you aren’t too far away.

Here’s how:
- Press the ‘Home’ button on your remote.
- Navigate to ‘Settings > System > Advanced System Settings > Network Connection Reset’.

Check the Batteries

Sometimes the remote may need to be paired again to your TV. To re-pair, the remote, follow the steps below.

- Once your TV is plugged in again, please turn it on and wait for the home screen to load.
