I plugged my Roku into my TV via S-Video, but all that happens is that the busy light turns on. No video signal or anything. I got it as a gift, slightlkly used, but I tried the factory reset and nothing seemed to happen.

Any ideas?

I forgot to mention, its the Roku Photobridge HD.

When you did a reset to factory, was the front LED (power light) flashing?
If so, was it on-off, or flash, flash flash and a pause (repeat).
Either your in the wrong mode, or the unit has a voltage issue.

Do you have a TV that can take composite video?

BTW, welcome to the Roku forums!

no blinking. Just a flat busy light. The set does take componnent, do you think S Video is the problem?

No, I think its a power/voltage issue I think. Does the busy light ever go off or blink?
Sorry to keep asking, but its important. The front power light (green in color, right next to the power button) is not on, right? The onlyl thing you see is a solid busy light?
You can try component, incase the unit is in some different mode, but since you have no power light and and the busy light stays on, but I think it's broken.

Do you have a volt meter? If so, are you up for some internal troubleshooting? If so, let me know and I can walk you though opening it up and probing some test points that will tell us a lot.

This post may help you too.
