Fix Roku HDMI Extender Not Working Issue

If your Roku stick gets too hot or doesn’t fit well in your TV’s HDMI port, you can get a free HDMI extender. The extender will help improve the fit and cooling of your Roku stick. But what if your Roku HDMI Extender Not Working?

The HDMI extender might not work. This could be because your TV doesnt support it. There may also be a problem with the extender itself.

If the HDMI extender you ordered online for free isn’t working, don’t fill out the form again for the same one. Try getting a premium HDMI extender instead to see if that solves the issue.

Now, let’s tackle this issue in different ways:

Why is the HDMI extender not Working on Roku 

After getting a new HDMI extender and plugging it into your TV’s HDMI port and Roku stick, if the TV screen shows “no signal” or something similar, the main cause May be due to the faulty HDMI extender.

I’m not saying that Roku intentionally sent you a faulty device. There could be unknown reasons for sending you the extender.

Your TV may be old, causing the HDMI Extender No Signal issue. This means that the HDMI port on your TV is not receiving the signal from the extender.

How to fix the Roku free HDMI extender not Working 

Here are some courses of action you can take step by step:

1. First off, if your Roku streaming stick is not new, connect it directly to your TV’s HDMI port to see if it’s working fine

2. Make sure your Streaming stick+ is connected to the power outlet to get sufficient charge.

3. Check the connection between the HDMI extender, Roku Stick, and your TV.

4. Double check the input option of your TV, or it is good to switch the input options (If you are not sure which HDMI port you have used)

5. If possible, use the Roku stick and HDMI extender with another TV.

6. Apply for another HDMI extender on Roku’s official website or instead of waiting, get a new one locally or from any online store that can function faster and better.
