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???

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
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'm having some problems with my fire tv 2. It is rooted and on the latest rom found in this forum. The problem is with my unrooted fire tv 1, whenever I need to turn it on I can just press the remote and it will power on. With this new fire tv, pressing the buttons will not turn it on and when I turn on the tv and try it, it won't turn on as well. Only a small chance that sometimes hitting the button would turn it on. The only way that I usually turn it on is through unplugging and replugging the power cord. Is this a common issue and is there a fix? Thanks.
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?
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
