Overview
- A class-action complaint in California says recent RokuOS updates bricked certain TCL and Roku TVs by causing freezes, boot loops, or black screens.
- Plaintiff Terri Else names Roku’s Select and Plus models and TCL’s 3-, 4-, 5- and 6-series sets that run RokuOS.
- Owners report the failures began one to two years after purchase, leaving TVs that would not turn on or stay stable.
- The lawsuit seeks compensation for lost value and a court-ordered fix to prevent similar breakdowns.
- Roku and TCL have not issued a public response or broad repair, and RokuOS powers millions of TVs, underscoring the potential scope.
