Firestick No Signal
 

Have a Firestick on a Hitachi TV. Been working fine for 3 years. We stream with Internet from Century Link. We were away for a couple of weeks and when we came home this TV doesn’t work. TV turns on but then says No Signal. Other TVs in the house work fine so it’s not the Internet connection. Have tried the suggested fixes of unplugging the Firestick from the TV. That doesn’t help. Also tried plugging the Firestick into a different HDMI port and that didn’t work either.
Any other recommendations?

Firestick, Settings, My Fire TV, Restart.(while fire stick is plugged in)

- Make sure the TV is looking for a signal from the HDMI and not the antenna (you probably already did this but I would hate to overlook something)
- Try plugging the firestick into another TV to make sure the firestick output is good
- Try plugging a firestick from another TV into this one to make sure the power cord and the HDMI input are good

Can’t get to settings. Can’t get past the No Signal message.

I think you should retry what Bill14564 was suggesting, from your tv remote you want the menu device settings, scroll thru each one until your fire stick pops up.

Did you check the batteries?

They do crap out. Lots of sales now. Found Roku much better. Check slick deals.net

Roku Ultra LT 2021 4K/HDR/Dolby Vision Streaming Device w/ Voice Remote

To reboot without going through settings, hold down the ok button and the pause/play button simultaneously for 5 or so seconds until you get a powering off message. It will reboot and come back on.

While you were gone there was likely a power outage. Unplug stick and attempt to access settings.

Does the fire stick have power? If you have it plugged into the USB port on the TV for power you may want to try plugging into its own outlet. Let it “charge up” a bit then attempt the input search for the fire stick on TV.

This is useful for some Fire Stick problems.

Roku sticks are on sale for half price at Best Buy and Amazon, $24.99. In my opinion, they work better than the Firestick.

Unplug the TV and Plug in again and restart. I had that problem and it was the TV that had to be restarted.

I have found that it is usually a good idea to use a plug-in house current USB device to power the streaming stick instead of the USB port on the TV.

I changed all my fire sticks to Roku sticks, much better product..
