Saved the day! Was about to go to a local Walmart in seconds then I found this video. First method worked perfectly. Thank you!

This did the trick - when I was watching a DVD, half the screen started flickering. Tried a different DVD, different HDMI port, updating the TCL firmware, nothing. The Home 5x + Upward arrow 1x + RW 2x + FF 2x combo worked on the first try. Thanks - this earned you a subscribe!

My husband said...call customer service to see what we can do to fix the pixelated screen. When he left for work, I decided to try KZread first. Lo and behold....your first step did the trick! Thanks for your help!

Thank you so much! Your recommendation No. 1 got it totally fixed. My TV is very new, less than 6 months with me, so this was upsetting. The screen went 90% dark where I could barely see images when in motion, yet the pictures were fine and the sound was working well. Anyhow, you got 5 starts from me!

It really works ?

1st tried the remote reset trick, didnt work, became skeptical about this video, then tried the unplug for 30 secs trick and that actually worked! Was genuinely shocked that it worked. Thanks!!

I just rebooted my tv with the steps and it’s working like a charm, super thank you man!!!❤

This worked great. Thank you for putting this video out there.

The third method worked for about a minute. I was so excited and then started up again. I waited a little while and tried it again. It worked on the 4th try!!! So people, if it doesn't work the first time, try it again, don't give up. Thank you so much!!!!

I had a black screen with no images and the power removal worked for me. Thanks!

Dude you are a god. Seriously. My 2-year-old TV started showing dark right screen a couple weeks ago. I did a Google search and saw where that was a known problem, and some said it only gets worse until screen is totally dark. I did a live chat with TCL and nothing they suggested worked. They finally said I was out of warranty so they could not replace my TV. Then today, I could hear sound perfectly but no picture on any channel. I tried your first hack (home 5 x, up 1x etc) and my picture is back.

Fixed my TCL Roku 50" tv!!! Thanks a million!!!!

Yea he think we stupid . this ain't mortal combat fatality codes . wtf

After unplugging it. try holding in the power button while unplugged for 30 seconds while. This method should purge all the reserve power in the system as well. After say 30 seconds. Or try a 60 second hold if the 30 sec didn't work, just in case. But this might also help someone as well. Especially with Roku TCL tvs. I LIKED THE REMOTE COMBO NEVER SEEN THAT ONE. Mine was a backlight sadly. but the purge helped it turn back on a few more times longer before completely having to replace strips. Plus the strips are made in batches!😩so if one goes the rest will follow sadly🤷🏻‍♂️. Found that out the hard way as well . Thanks for the video man

Thanks so much! I’m subbing and liking. I was having an issue where I could hear everything on my tv but not see. Even on games such as my PlayStation. Key combo worked! Thanks 🙏🏻 👍🏻

@@chandlerp After getting in touch with customer service, they determined it was "LED backlight failure", and that I needed to get a new TV (which I did). This time, I'm taking the precautions this site recommends... _"LED backlight failure is common in all LED TVs. With Sharp and RCA Roku TVs, turning down the backlight level isn’t very intuitive._ _Under Settings-> TV Picture Settings Set the TV Brightness to Normal. It defaults to Brightest I’m not sure if this is controlling image brightness or backlight level but safer to set it to Normal._ _With your current input selected (eg HDMI 1), hit * on the remote. Go to Advanced Picture Settings. Set Picture Mode to Low Power, Dynamic Contrast to Off and the Backlight to 60-70. The lower you can tolerate the better. The default for low power is 78 which still seems high. Most picture modes set the backlight at max which will burn out the LEDs._ _Repeat step 2 for all inputs you are using and also check all apps (eg. Netflix, Roku media player you are running."_

I got a TCL smart tv 2.5 years ago and the flickering started a few days ago. It starts about an hour after the tv is on. I've tried all of your fixes and also the ones from a longer video. I tried them all multiple times, except I haven't tried the factory reset. Any other suggestions?

Trying his last 2 options of unplugging TV. Button combo did get my regular cable up & running. Yes! Unplugging worked for the saved channels!! Thank you 😊

Thank you so much for this video. The tips worked great for me!!

woke up today and had this issue. unplugging it didn’t work, but the first solution on your video fixed it. Thank you for uploading this video

Thanks! It seems to be working okay now after the remote combo

Dude you are awesome! I have been trying for weeks to fix TV issue, using multiple KZread videos and suggestions from friends. Had put in an order for a new TV, found your video and in less than 5 minutes may TV is back!!! Going to cancel order for new TV and enjoy the one I already have. Once again thank you!!

Thanks for posting this video! My tv had very dark pixelated screens only after playing a movie but menu options on streaming services were clear, which I found weird. However, I followed your steps and it’s as good as new!!

Thank you for the fix!!! The first one did the trick!!

That was extremely helpful!! Thanks bro.

Thank uuuuuu!! I got this thing a week ago and it already did this but thanks to you it doesn’t anymore. Thx again 🙏🏻

None of them worked but you do a great job! I may have a different problem. My front light lights up, after the code it shows another flicker(progress) then just shuts down. I waited a bit, 5 min or so and nada. The front light does flash looking for some input. It's not always solid. Any other suggestions since the video.

Yup. My dad's tv did the same. After the 1 minute, I'm getting a flicker, but that's it.

Step 1 worked for me. I had sound and menu and closed captions, but no video. Step 1 fixed the missing video. Thanks! Too bad for Asurion, which had the extended warranty coverage. Instead of sending me a link to your video, they sent me a gift card for the full purchase price of the TV!

Thanks. Your suggestion worked and was very easy. Did not have to unplug the TV and also reset button is in the back. So if your TV is mounted so did not want to mess with the angel. So this suggestion was great.

The first solution using the button combination worked like a charm!

I know this video is a year old but u said give a thumbs down if nothing worked so 👎🏽.. I do thank u for the video tho. This tv is less than a year old and I’ve tried everything and the most I get is two flashes after plugging it bk in and nothing else from the other methods. Hope you’re having a great day!

The first tip worked. Thanks for the help! I'm concerned though it will happen again, since I had just done a factory reset last week.

Thanks! The first suggestion worked for mine. It's crystal clear again.

Thanks it's already fixed. You help is so very appreciated. God bless!

First method fixed my 2019 r6's volume ui icon flickering issue. Thanks

Thanks man! My PS4’s display just didn’t look very good so I reset the TV, it looked pretty shotty and choppy. Needless to say, we’re all good now! From one techie to another, appreciate you man!

First thing worked for me Thank you

Thank you so much for the quick comprehensive video, my tv started right back up !! 🎉👍👍👍

key strokes worked for my TCL. Thanks! About every 5-10 min the screen would go black for a second or two. Using it for a computer monitor only, so don't know about the sound if that was an issue.

Thank you so much, 1st one worked perfect

If all that fails try this. Worked for us. **FACTORY RESET** Introduction You may need to factory reset your TCL Roku TV in order to resolve an error or network connectivity issue. Please be aware that performing a factory reset will remove all of your personal data including, settings, Roku data, and menu preferences. Before performing a factory reset, make sure that you have your network credentials available to reconnect the TV to your network. You will also need to repeat the guided setup, the antenna TV setup (channel scan), and input configuration after the reset is complete. 1 Factory Reset Select the Home button on your remote to open the main screen. Select Settings. Select System Select Advanced system settings Select Factory reset. (Number Code will be on the screen to enter) Select Factory reset everything

1st remote reset trick actually fixed my flickering screen. Saved me a trip and a few dollars by not having to buy new hdmi cables. Thanks!

THUMBS UP ALL THE WAY MAN! Unplugging baby!!! Idk what the **** happened to be honest. Was working fine one day, screen started getting a little darker, finally went black, turned it on to play some games today, and it was completely static and than went back... tried to resetting. Didn’t work, finally unplugged it and restarted it completely. Removed all hdmis plugged them back in and now it seems to be running fine...

Awesome. Thank you for fixing our tv

Didnt think it would actually work, but in about 30 seconds, it worked. Thx alot

THANK YOU SO MUCH I WAS SO CONFUSED

Unplugged TCL Roku for a minute and replugged power card fixed the dark screen! Thanks for the troubleshoot!

Thank you, my flickering issue is resolved. 🙌🏼

OMG ITS WORKED THANK U SO MUCH😊

I was just about ready to take my tv down and go get another. I tried the sequence a few times....noticed a few ROKU flashes but no good. This morning I got up and I tried the sequence and the screen appeared once. I kept doing the sequence a few more times. Bingo....it came back on. Been on for a few hours. Thank you very much.

The roku button reset really works im in awe

thanks this really worked😊

The 1 minute wait worked for me.....well actually it was unplugged for 20 minutes because I forgot and then plugged it in and it worked!! Thank you!! I will subscribe!!!

Hey man just want to say thanks for saving me a headache. Heads up everyone i tried these three steps and it still hadn't work. However after the three steps he suggested i took out the batteries out of the remote and put them back in. Then i clicked the power key and next thing you know its back on. My issue was that the tv didnt power on
