Hey all,
I hope someone can assist me here. I've got Philips 48PFS8109/12, last year or so I upgraded the firmware on the TV. Since then the TV won't turn on.
I've tried using the joystick at the back and it's not turning on the TV, the remote control is not working either.
The light at the front where it says Philips light's up when plugged in to power supply and Optical light at the back of TV is on as well but no other lights are visible, so I'm sure the power supply is all good.
Is there anyway to downgrade the firmware on TV without actually turning on the TV? The screen stays black the whole time and doesn't even show the philips logo.
I hope someone can assist me further here. Thanks a lot for any responses and suggestions
Anyone any suggestions? thank you
just go to philips homepage and download the firmware for your device...and follow the instructions xD

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 got no picture and it's brand new. I did get it to start up a couple of times. I had unplugged it and turn it on a few days later and got it to start but now I'm getting a black screen and TV said no input. There is a blinking white led on the front but if I hit any of the remote control buttons, it does nothing. Is there a way to connect from usb to usb to my laptop to do something to get it fixed?
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 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.
