We tried Fire Stick and found Roku sticks much easier and more reliable.

I wouldn't change the Firestick for ROKU, I have 5 Firesticks and they work flawlessly. I wonder if, during a power blip, the TV went on a different HDMI port. Unplug TV and Firestick. (Firestick power should be from wall outlet, not USB back of TV). Plug all back in. Use big circle to power up Firestick, and use TV remote to change HDMI to find it. It's also possible that power outage/surge killed TV. I had one die from a power surge here, now all my electronics are in UPSes.

Any other recommendations?

Mine did the same thing. Brand new fire stick. Next day worked fine. We have xfinity. No clue what happened. Doesn’t help you but maybe it will start again.

Have encountered that a few times when the stick hasn’t been used in a while. Unplug the power source to the stick and plugging back in seems to reboot it ok.

Will have to try the reset from the remote someone suggested here next time.

Pull the firestick out and unplug power. Wait 10 seconds. Do the same to the tv. Then plug back in. Should be back up and running.

There was a solar flare 11/6/22 that locked up a bunch of our electronics. Had to cycle power on the router and the smart TV. Other issues I can't remember now, but just cycle power on everything and see what happens.

Hey...if you haven't already tried this, it could be that your TV is on the wrong input. The remote should have an Input button, which switches between the different HDMI inputs on the TV. Try switching through the inputs, wait a few seconds, and see if the Firestick shows up. Good luck!

Default TV Inputs??

Did you check your TV inputs? Sometimes they get messed up and the TV will change to an unused input.
Make sure you have the TV inputs on the HDMI input the Firestick is plugged into.

Clear App Data and Cache on Fire TV Devices
Go to Settings on your Fire TV.
Select Applications.
In Manage Installed Applications, select the app you are having trouble with.
Select Clear Cache, and then Clear Data.

In what way is Roku more limited than firestick?

Not trying to be a simpleton here, but you might try using the TV remote and make sure that the proper HDMI port is selected on the TV itself. We have one remote that is easy to bump the input selector on and once we reset the proper HDMI port that usually fixes the problem for us. Good luck.
