The Amazon Fire TV stick is one of the most widely used streaming devices. The device, which runs on the Android platform, can make any regular TV into a smart one. Customers who use the Amazon device have occasional issues like a firestick not turning on, black screen or no sound, just like anyone who uses any other device. If you're having trouble with your Fire TV streaming device, here are some of the most common issues, as well as potential fixes.
 

How to Restore a Failed FireStick

Even if you're having a really difficult time with your FireStick, you might be able to solve it by restarting it, updating the software, or doing a factory reset. Let's have a look at those tried and true methods. You should probably start with these easier choices before moving on to the harder ones.

The Easiest Ways to Fix Your Non-Working Amazon Fire Stick


In this article, we'll take a look at the seven most common problems that Firestick owners face. Based on which of these issues you're having, a specific solution will become available. There is, however, considerable overlap on several of these issues.

If you want a quick fix for your Firestick, try restarting it through the settings or the remote as described below. You can also try restarting the wireless router. Many of the most widespread issues will be solved by this.

If none of these methods resolve your issue, you may want to try a factory reset, which we discuss below as a last resort. To fix stubborn issues, you'll need to repeat the setup process and possibly reinstall any channels or apps you previously had on your Fire Stick.

My FireStick's display is currently blank.
Please re-activate the Fire Stick.

If you turn on your Firestick and all you see is a black screen, try rebooting it. Press and hold the "select" and "play/pause" buttons simultaneously for about five seconds to accomplish this without accessing the settings screen.

If you see the Fire TV logo, that means the device has powered down and is resuming normal operation. It's also a signal that it's time to put down the controller.

Check your battery life.

If this doesn't happen, and the Fire Stick won't restart, you may need to make sure the remote's batteries are still good. Since Alexa's remote relies on Bluetooth rather than IR, it needs to be powered by reliable batteries.

Make sure the HDMI cable is connected.

The last thing you can try if your Fire TV device still only displays a black screen is to double-check the connection to the HDMI port on your TV.

My Fire TV Stick is not Working.


Please re-activate the Fire Stick.

If your Fire TV is unresponsive, try restarting it by pressing and holding the select and play/pause buttons for a few seconds, as you did before.

Check out the power source.

If nothing happens, try switching out the remote's batteries. Because it uses Bluetooth, the Alexa remote consumes more power than standard remote controls.

Take the Firestick out of the wall.

If your remote doesn't respond to new batteries but you've tried restarting it, try unplugging it, waiting a minute, and then plugging it back in. After recharging, the Fire TV logo should appear on the screen as the device boots up again.

Fix the current screen-mirroring difficulties.

Display mirroring requires the setting "Enable Display Mirroring" to be enabled.

To adjust the visuals and audio on your Fire TV, head to the menu. You can enable display mirroring by selecting this option in the settings menu. Many other devices should still be able to reflect your Fire TV regardless of whether or not this mode is on. However, activating it will facilitate the discovery of your Fire TV by other devices.

Utilizing the same wireless network

If you are still having trouble, check to see if your Firestick and the device you wish to mirror from are on the same WiFi network. Amazon also suggests keeping the devices no more than 30 feet apart, so bringing them closer together can improve the connection if it is weak.

Improve your technology.

Last but not least, make sure that your Fire TV and other devices are up-to-date; this will prevent mirroring issues when using your Fire Stick.

Incompatible app for the Fire TV Stick.

The Need to Reinstall, Restart, and Update Software

There are a few things you can try if your Fire TV apps keep crashing. One option is to uninstall the app and then reinstall it. The next step is to power down the device and then power it back on. If you suspect that outdated software is at fault, checking for Firestick updates could be of assistance.

Always Connect With the Appropriate Cable and Plug

Be sure to charge it with the original power supply cord and adapter. Since the Firestick draws power from a USB cable, you could theoretically connect it to a phone charger or even a USB port on your TV, but doing so is not recommended.

Using a different power adapter may result in the Firestick not receiving enough power or receiving power at inopportune times, which could result in the malfunctioning of the installed software or the complete freezing of the device.

Do a factory reset and see if that helps.

The only thing left to try is a factory reset. The Amazon Fire Stick can be completely reset by selecting this option, which can be found at the very bottom of the "my Fire TV" settings tab. As a result, you'll need to re-establish the Firestick's settings before using it.

Help! I can't get my Fire TV Stick to work!


Restart the router.

Stop by your WiFi router and give it a whirl if your Amazon Fire TV Stick is having trouble connecting to your network. The quickest way to do this is to unplug the router, leave it for a minute, and then plug it back in. There's no harm in power cycling your Firestick off and on while you wait.

Don't mess with the WiFi Network.

If the Firestick is still unable to connect to the WiFi after rebooting both devices, try erasing the network from the Firestick's settings by pressing the menu button (the one with the three horizontal lines) in the "Network" section. Relogging into the network requires reentering your login credentials.

Bring the Fire TV stick and the wireless router into closer proximity.

If your Firestick has trouble connecting to your WiFi network, try repositioning the router and Firestick so that there is less metal between them.

Validate that your router is suitable by checking its compatibility.

Finally, test your Fire TV to make sure it is compatible with your WiFi network. It's highly unlikely that the Firestick won't be compatible with your network, as it can use almost all 5 GHz and 2.4 GHz networks. However, some older routers may have trouble establishing a connection.
