Here’s what you need to do to fix TCL Roku TVs stuck in red screen issue.

Solution 2: Wait for your TCL TV to boot up
There’s a possibility that the TCL Roku TV is still in the boot up process which is why the loading screen is still being displayed. This usually happens when it is still applying a software update. You should try waiting for 5 minutes to complete the boot up process.
Solution 3: Check the power supply of your TCL TV
Your TCL Roku TV needs to have a sufficient power supply from the electrical socket in order for it to function properly. If not enough power reaches the TV then there’s a possibility that it will freeze on the home screen.
Make sure to plug the power cable to a power outlet that is working. You should also make sure to plug the TCL TV AC power cord straight to the wall outlet and not to a surge protector.
Solution 4: Disconnect any external devices connected to the Sony Android TV
One of the causes of a TCL Roku TV stuck in the home screen is because of an external device connected to its HDMI port. Do you have a Blu Ray player, cable box, or any audio visual equipment connected to your Smart TV? Try to disconnect these devices from the TV then restart the TV and check if the loading screen issue still occurs.
Solution 5: Perform a software update on your TCL Roku TV
Another factor that can cause the TCL Roku TV stuck in red screen issue is because of an outdated operating system. You should make sure that your TCL Roku TV has the latest firmware version installed as this will usually have several improvements as well as bug fixes that could fix the stuck in logo screen issue.
