Hi, Mary here. LED lights can be blocked with inexpensive black electrician’s tape. But if an LED is close to the Infrared Portal that receives commands from your remote, you might block the Infrared Portal and thus prevent commands from getting from your remote to your TV or other devices. If that’s the case, there’s a product made by Anytime Sign called Infrared Magic Black self-adhesive 1.5 Mil Mylar Sheeting that can be placed over the area to block the LED light while allowing the transmission of IR commands from your clicker to your device. The product is described at

On your Roku remote hit follow the sequence: home button (5x), FF, Play, Rewind, Play, FF - this gets you into a secret menu. Choose adjust LED brightness and you can reduce the white LED light to 0%. :-)

There is a way to do this. After you finish watching your programs from your Roku player just click on the top Home button icon that will take you back to the home page on your Roku. Once there select on your TV remote the source button and select TV or Cable TV, which ever one you have. Once it's back to the TV then turn off your TV. The Roku box will shut off, light and all, between 15 min to an hour. If you do not exit what you are watching on your Roku it will continue playing the programs. That's why the light stays on.

That is not totally true. It should normally go off but sometimes it will stay on and sometimes it will come back on. When it stays on too long the Roku box will become extremely hot.

For all of you who have been wondering how to turn off your Roku 3 device well it's true there is no way to turn it off but to unplug it. I have found a way to turn off the light and allow it to go in to "sleep mode". You can pair it as an Anynet+ device on your TV. Then on your Roku settings go to Screensaver and put your time setting to 1 minute. So when you get ready to turn off your TV, press the home button on your Roku remote so it will not continue to stream, then turn off your TV. The LED light on the Roku will turn off automatically within one minute. I hopes this helps everyone. Advance to Roku offer an off switch on your devices. If you add an additional setting to where the consumer can set when they want updates to be installed, they can be sure to have the device on at that time so that the update can begin. This will give your customers a peace of mind with your product.

Thank goodness!! This worked. I love my Roku, but that light was way too bright. I used to put something in front of it so I could sleep. I used the

Home>Settings>System>Power>Standby LED

and it worked, gave me the option to turn light off completely. Thanks so much! So glad I found this forum.

There is no official way to do this. You'd have to unplug the power source. You can use your TV as a remote but that requires setting up and a SmartSwitch.

The Roku 4, to date, is the only device with some sort of way to power it off. You can read more about it https://www.orduh.com/turn-off-roku/,

Hello,

At the point when the LED lights on the front board are on, the Receive and Send LED lights can be changed from strong Blue to Green with the goal that the majority of the lights are similar shading. This is very easy to turn off the front panel LED light, just go to the Configuration link on the main menu and click the turn off front panel LEDs except power LED drop-down menu and select Enable. For more help visit https://www.roku.com/ and read some instruction. If you need some instant help then visit here and get instant help. http://www.customer-support-numbers.com/...

This worked perfectly! Thank you for posting...that light was driving me nuts. (The secret menu posted above to dim the light also worked, but didn't turn it off. This actually turned it all the way OFF!)

As much as I know, you can't turn off the light, you can only dim it. The only solution to get rid of that annoying light is to either unplug your TV when you sleep or to cover it with something. Some people say that there is a "sleep mode" option, but I don't know if that works or not. I didn't try it, because, for me, this light is not a problem I even like it. I've also ordered LED lights from ukled.co.uk in the dorm. I don't like it when it's totally dark in the house, it doesn't feel secure.
