Hi I have a problem with my Aftv. When it boots I see the Amazon logo then the screen either goes black or I get a lots of fuzzy dots . It sounds like it's still responding to the remote as I can here it clicking . Tried resetting and no joy . It showed the screen saying it was resseting but went blanked again after that . Any help would be great .

ok, just picked up a Kindle Fire HD 8.9 second gen from WooT, they say it is refurb'd.
Out of the box, it booted fine, I was able to go through the setup and add my amazon account, downloaded a few kindle books.
went to eat, came back, and the device is blank. Nothing I would do would bring it back, pressed power button for about 10 seconds and I see screen goes black ( it was black before, but with backlighting from the device being powered on). Touch poerbutton and it start booting, I think - displays a static 'kindlefire' white/orange logo for about 10 seconds, and then the screen is black again.
I have not attempted anything yet on this device - no root, no rom, nothing. WTH is going on.. put on a charger for a few hours, but there's no lights or indicators on this thing to show if it is charging or not. Did the searches and just find links to stories/videos of fols holding power button for 20 or 60 seconds and then it just works after that. Not mine.. nothing is changing ...
Is this thing dead? I really want it not to be, but I'm thinking in another day or so I'm going to return this to Woot for my money back if I can't figure out how to get this thing working .
[resolved]
I think the unit had some serious issues. Was able to replace it with a different unit, and the new unit behaves as expected.
I have amazon fire tv box and since unplugging it and then plugging back in all i get is the fading and brightening white light , i get the amazzon fire tv logo on the screen but cant do anything else . i cant get the home screen up or access kodi . how do i get this working again ? thanks .
Very strange problem. I have a LG G3 D855 for 1 and a half years now(rooted)
My phone was at a very low percentage, and I heared it go out. Happens to everybody, nothing strange so far.
I connected it to the charger and I turned it on, i heared the startup noise, but nothing happened. No pincode screen or unlock screen. Stuck at LG life is good screen. I actually was able to take a screenshot, i heared that sound when pressing power and volume down key. I know it is just right away from the main screen, but why is my screen freezing at startup logo? Tried to hard reset and clear all data, then I get a secure confirmation (verify) error. then my led starts to flash red and blue. Battery taking out and still no success.
How to fix this? Also screen is recognizing touch at the startup screen (when it fades away i click on it and it turns brighter)
EDIT: I blindly went into whatsapp and i am able to type and answer calls blindly wtf. Now I got a blue screen, everything is operational, the screen is blue now
Phone is functional, the screen is stuck on boot (life is good screen or blue screen)
How to fix?
Lol, the day after I hit my phone on the screen and restarted it and it worked again! I really dont know how it works again, but lmao! Also my secure boot sector is not working, that problem has nothing too do with this fixed one.
My touch was broken . I was bought touch only from aliexpress. When i try to diaatached my display from mainboard I was broke my dispplay connector . then I was replace it with new dispay connector. After replace when i try to connect all things and power on phone it will show white screen on display . no text will come. when holding power button the phone will start . and goes to home screen. I understand it becoause of screenlock sound also pattern lock.. So I think my phone is ok.. but screen not appear due to some reason . I also bought new tough and display but same result . what to do now .. Can anyone help me ??
Hi all
My Fire tv box has started malfunctioning since the latest OS update. I am getting a message flash up about a new feature and then the screen goes black. Restarting doesn't help or doing the Amazon recommeded hard reset by pressing some buttons on the remote control. When i restart i get the Amazon Fire TV splash screen but then most of the time it goes to the black screen. Sometimes it comes up again with the info on the new features (something to do with Alexa) and then goes black. The only thing i can do is hold down the home button and then the screen comes up with 4 options with Apps, Sleep, Settings and one other thing. I can then go into my apps and use them. Any attempt to go back to the normal home screen brings the black screen
Anyone else had this issue? Spoke to Amazon cust service and they have tried troubleshooting and cant fix it. I have been told they cant help as i am out of warranty! So their update does this to my box and they cant help....terrible.
Hope someone can help...

I have the same issue, so watching this thread.
How do I issue the ADB command to a fire tv 2 box please? There is only a USB-A port.
Buy a USB A to A cable was the right answer. I have ordered one now, never had a reason to own one, till now.
