If your Roku is not working, start by checking your internet connection and making sure it's stable. Restart your Roku device by unplugging it for a minute and then plugging it back in. If the issue persists, check for system updates under Settings > System > System Update and install any available updates. Resetting the Roku device to factory settings can also be a solution, though it should be a last resort as it will remove all personalized settings. If these steps don't resolve the problem, contacting Roku support for further assistance is recommended.
