So I have a couple Roku SE's in my kids bedrooms and one of them just stopped working all of a sudden and just had the blinking white light. After trying a few different scenarios it turns out the Roku works perfectly and its just the power supply that no longer works.

Where can I get a replacement power supply? The connector looks like an old cellphone charger.

On the back of the charger it says:

Model No - WA-06A12FU
Input - 100-120V
50-60Hz, 0.3A Max
Output - 12V 0.5A

Honestly all the above is foreign language to me :)

Anyone have any idea?

Well that's probably why it stopped working! Do you have a 220v to 110v converter?

Oh yeah sorry forgot to mention, it is connected with a universal adapter (so UK/EU to SA plug). The other 3 Roku's throughout the house are using the same adapter and they all working perfectly.

Our universal 12V 1A power supply should work fine. Do any of the included tips match your original supply?

This is what it looks like.

Is the one you have quite big / clunky? The tv is mounted against the wall along will all the wires so not too much room back there.

The universal tips are right angled so should work very well in a tight space. Is it possible to measure the length and width of your power supply tip (silver bit only)? I'll do the same and see if we have a match :)

The plug size is what worried me the most but on second look now there is a way I could make it work - forgot I had the roku power supply connected to an universal adapter which kind of made it the height of two plugs connected to each other so shouldn't be a problem.

Judging by the picture of the connector, do you think one of the adapters would work? If so I will order 2 of them (just in case the other power supply decides to die as well).

Let me know.

Yes, I think so. Worst case scenario, you could post it back, or cut and attach your original tip to the universal adapter's cable
