I have an Amazon Fire TV stick. I plugged it into the HDMI port. I tried using the port on the TV and the port on the Set Top Box. On both of them I go to the remote, I press TV Input at the bottom of the remote, by repeatedly pressing TV Input I am able to get to HDMI 1 and HDMI 2. But I'm unable to select either HDMI port. I tried pushing OK/Enter and TV Input again. It doesn't work. How do I fix this?
I have VZ P265v2 RC
and Motorola QIP7232 set top box
The power is fine.
When I have the TV monitor plugged into the SetTopBox, On the screen I see "Verizon press menu to watch FIOS TV ..."
I press "TV Input" on the remote and I see Tuner, Composite, HDMI1, HDMI2, VGA, VGA Component
By repeatedly pressing "TV Input" I navigate to the option I want (Tuner, Composite, HDMI1, HDMI2, VGA, VGA Component)
If I just stay at HDMI1 or HDMI2 it doesn't seem to select it, and the FireTV stick doesn't start. I have the stick plugged into the USB so the power should be fine. Is there a way for me to confirm that. There is no little LED or anything. I played with the FireTV remote, but got no response.
This also happens if I press Menu to go to FIOS TV and then press TV Input.
Then I unplugged the set top box from the TV (so it's a "dumb" monitor). Then I followed the instructions below. Still no success. I have a "no signal" message on the tv screen.
Instructions which didn't help, yet
1. Remove Fire TV Stick from TV HDMI Port, just make sure TV is off
2. Unplug power source from Fire TV
3. Wait 15 minutes
4. Turn on TV
5. Plug in power source to the Fire TV Stick then insert to prefer HDMI 1 or 2 or 3
6. Press any button on the Fire TV remote,wait 30 sec on each input until you see the picture on the screen.

Use the Original TV Remote
I called Verizon, the tech told me to switch to HDMI1 using the remote that came with the TV (not the Verizon remote). That worked.
I have a firestick plugged into a 42 inch lg tele. The stick has always worked on hdmi socket 1. Went to use tonight and all of a sudden it's saying no signal on screen. Checked the power that's working, why is it saying no signal???

Maybe went to "sleep", did you press the round button on your firestick remote?
BTW if this doe not work unplug power cord and plug it back in.
Try the following with your Samsung TV: On the TV, go to Menu, System, and then General. Locate the tab called "Game Mode" and turn Game mode "ON". (Most games are connected thru HDMI and changing this setting apparently enables theses ports better access to the Fire TV Stick) After you have the stick connected and setup properly and have actually used it, you may actually be able to turn off the Game mode and have it work properly. Good Luck!!

I was just able to get what seems to be the last fire tv in amazons surplus through their prime now app. I set it up everything went fine then I clicked to update it and it did the normal update process until I looked up and saw a black screen. I unplugged the unit and replugged it and now all I get is amazon logo then black screen. Is there anyway to fix this I was really excited about having the last fire tv. Something I just discovered is that I can still connect wirelessly to the unit via adb.. I just restarted it. I dunno if this can help anything.
PROBLEM SOLVED faulty hdmi cable... This cable was sent to me from mono price about a week ago as a replacement for another defective cable.. sigh...

To fix the black screen/blank screen, we use the following steps to troubleshoot it:\
Your FireTV went to sleep and you just need to wake it up. You can wake up your FireTV by pressing the “Back” button on the remote.
Try the Fire TV Remote Shortcuts to see if one of them will wake up your Fire TV.
On the [easyazon_link identifier=”B00NO8JJZW” locale=”US” tag=”arizonacaorg-20″]Fire TV Remote[/easyazon_link], hold the REVERSE (or “rewind”) button and the UP button at the same time for 10 seconds. Your FireTV should start switching through the different video display modes (or resolutions). You can expect the light on your TV to change colors and/or blink. When it switches to a display resolution that works, press the SELECT button to select that mode. This will fix your display issue if your fireTV happens to be set to a video resolution not supported by the TV you have it plugged into.
Your FireTV needs to be reset to the factory default settings. To do this, press BACK and REVERSE and RIGHT and SELECT to get your FireTV to prompt you to do a factory reset.
Your FireTV is deceased. If you tried #1 and #2 above, perhaps your Firestick has perished.
You could be forcing a screen resolution such as [easyazon_link identifier=”B00V0923TG” locale=”US” tag=”arizonacaorg-20″]1080p[/easyazon_link] 60Hz. Try changing the display settings back to Auto, No Scaling (by hooking the FireTV to a [easyazon_link identifier=”B01CF3L3RS” locale=”US” tag=”arizonacaorg-20″]TV[/easyazon_link] that it’s known to work on).
Press SELECT & PLAY (Hold the buttons down for 5 or 10 Seconds) to restart your FireTV / firestick.
I hope it will help you out.
I have a weird issue with my new Harmony Hub remote and the Fire Stick. If the Stick is awake, the Harmony Hub can run the "Watch Fire Stick" activity flawlessly.
However, if the Stick is asleep, I get a black screen. Everything switches properly but the Stick doesn't wake up. It also becomes unresponsive to the Stick's remote. If I hold down the Up and Reverse buttons, I can force it into the resolution search mode. These modes seem to get the Stick to work. The only other way I've found to get the Stick to respond is to unplug it and plug it back in.
Any ideas on what could be the issue?
I have been using Fire TV Stick with remote on my android phone. I reset the stick to factory default as I felt it was running a bit slow. After the reset, it is asking me to press Home button on the remote. I have not used the actual remote in a long time as I always use the app to control. Now, it is not responding to remote even after I changed 3 different sets of new remote batteries. On the app, it can not find the Fire TV Stick.
Any ideas, please?
SOLVED:
needed to reset the remote by holding Menu (three lines)+ Back (the one to the left of home button) + left arrow (on navigation circle) for 10 seconds. Then disconnect the power from Fire TV stick for 30 seconds and then restart.
No display from Fire TV
Background
The box was working perfectly.
I powered it off for a couple of weeks and when I attempted to use it again, it seems to power up, but there is no picture/menu/logo displayed.
Things I've tried so far:
1)Powered off and on again - no change. The light on front flashes normally and then stops flashing. No flickering/image on TV.
2)Pressed select "Select"+"Play" to reboot the box. I can see the LED go out and then come on again. No flickering/image on the TV.
3)Pressed "Up"+"Rewind" - I can see the LED on the AFTV change to orange and flashing for while, but again no image on the TV.
4)I can successfully ping the box from a PC.
5)I've disconnected all other HDMI cables from the TV and carried out all the tests above - no change.
6)I've disconnected the AFTV from the HDMI cable and replaced with a laptop - this works perfectly, I can use the TV from the laptop.
7)When the AFTV has gone to sleep/standby and the TV is switched off, pressing "SELECT" wakes up the AFTV and switches on the TV, but still nothing is displayed.
So it seems that the AFTV is functioning correctly and receiving commands from the remote, but it still refuses to display any image/picture/icon/menu, i.e. anything.
Any ideas? Something else I can try? Known problem? Can fixed by opening the box?
Thanks in advance
Hi Folks,
got a Amazon Fire TV Box Gen 2 (Model DV83YW) which hangs on the white amazon logo with black background. Front light pulses slow white 3-4 times and turns in quick orange 3-4 times in a endless loop.
I’ve tried different TVs with different HDMI ports and another power supply with no luck.
It is possible to reset the box via right circle + back button over the remote. The box restarts and shows “Resetting your Fire TV, Please do not unplug power cable during the update”. After it’s finished it restarts again with only white amazon logo and black background and pulsing front light. After this reset I always have to pair the remote over pressing left circle + menu + back button on the remote.
If I plug in a network cable it appears on my network management as "amazon-5c2b6dfed.fritz.box" with IP and Mac-Adress. When I try to connect via adbLink it is not possible over the IP-address shown on my network. It says “Can`t connect to <IP-Adress>”. I have a USB-A to USB-A cable to connect with my MacBook Pro but adbLink wants the serial number as adress to connect via USB and I have no idea where to get the serial number.
I have no idea which OS or version is on the box.
Any ideas how I can bring it back to life?
Cheers
