To turn on a Roku TV without a remote, you can use the physical power button on the TV itself. Most Roku TVs have a power button located on the TV panel, typically:
- Underneath the TV near the center
- On the side of the TV
- On the back of the TV
Pressing this button once will turn the TV on. Holding the button for a few seconds can turn the TV off or put it into standby mode. On some models, pressing the button repeatedly cycles through inputs or opens a menu
. If you cannot find or use the physical button, you can also control your Roku TV using the Roku mobile app on your smartphone. The app allows you to power the TV on and off, navigate menus, and change channels once your phone is connected to the same Wi-Fi network as the TV. For TVs without Wi-Fi or if you haven't set up the app, you might need an Ethernet connection or a compatible universal remote as alternatives
. In summary:
- Locate the physical power button on your Roku TV (usually under the screen, side, or back).
- Press it once to turn the TV on.
- Use the Roku mobile app as a remote alternative if Wi-Fi is set up.
- Consider a universal remote if neither physical button nor app control is available
This approach works for brands like TCL, Philips, Hisense, and Onn Roku TVs.
