Top 6 Ways to Fix No Signal on Amazon Fire TV Stick

Quick Tips
  • Unplug the Fire TV Stick, wait for about 10 seconds, then plug it back in to reboot the device.
  • Ensure the Fire TV Stick is securely connected to the HDMI port on your TV.
  • Make sure your TV is set to the correct HDMI input to which the Fire TV Stick is connected.

Preliminary Fixes

  • Check Power Source: A common reason for the No Signal error on your Amazon Fire TV Stick is an inadequate power supply. Verify that the Fire TV Stick’s power adapter is securely connected to both the device and the power outlet.
  • Check Amazon Servers: Check if there are any reported outages or issues with Amazon’s services by visiting Amazon’s official service status page. Alternatively, visit websites like Downdetector to see if other users are reporting similar issues with Amazon’s servers.
  • Check the Power Cable: A faulty or improperly connected power cable can cause the No Signal error on your Fire TV Stick. Check the power cable for any signs of wear and tear. If possible, use the power cable to charge another device to see if it works.
  • Check HDMI Dongle: The HDMI dongle or adapter that connects the Fire TV Stick to the TV can sometimes cause issues, especially if it’s not securely connected or if it’s faulty.
  • Check Internet Connection: A poor or non-existent internet connection can also result in your Fire TV Stick not functioning correctly, leading to a No Signal display. Ensure that your Fire TV Stick is connected to the correct Wi-Fi network. Go to Settings > Network to verify the connection status.

Fix 1: Reboot Amazon Fire TV Stick

Because there is no signal error on the Amazon Fire TV Stick, you won’t be able to perform a software reboot using the Fire TV Stick remote. Instead, you must remove all the devices connected to the TV and try again.

Turn off the TV and remove the HDMI stick from the HDMI port. Disconnect the Amazon Fire TV Stick from the power source and wait for 5 minutes. Switch on the TV and reconnect the Fire TV Stick. Press a random button on the Fire TV Stick remote for a few seconds before moving on.

2. Check the Fire TV Stick With Another Hardware

This problem happened to many users of the Amazon Fire TV Stick 4K. Older televisions don’t support high-end Fire TV Stick models because of the minimum hardware requirements.

We used the same Fire TV Stick with another television and then to a monitor using the HDMI slot, and it worked without any issue. You can also try the same.

Fix 3: Router Issues

Do you face internet issues on all your smart devices? the problem could be with your router, not with the Fire TV Stick itself. You should restart your home or office router and try again. You can also update your router firmware to the latest version.

If your FireStick is in the Wi-Fi dead zone, get yourself a dedicated Ethernet adapter. It enables a wired internet connection on your streaming device, and you won’t face any no signal issue.

Fix 4: Wrong Input Sources

Most modern TVs come with three or four HDMI ports to utilize. Suppose you inserted your FireStick to HDMI 1 port and use HDMI 2 or HDMI 3 as output sources on your TV. You will see a no signal error due to an incorrect input source on your TV.

You should pick up your TV remote and switch between HDMI inputs to find the correct input source.

Fix 5: Screen Resolution

Incorrect screen resolution can result in a no signal error on FireStick. You can cycle through available resolutions through your FireStick remote. You can press the up and rewind buttons simultaneously for five seconds to switch between available resolutions.

Fix 6: Defective FireStick

If all else fails, the Fire TV Stick itself might be defective. You need to inspect your FireStick closely and look for any significant damage on it. Connect the Fire TV Stick to a different TV to see if it works. If the problem persists, it’s likely an issue with the device itself. Reach out to Amazon customer service for further assistance.

If you live in warm areas, the Fire TV Stick might get hot and stop working. You need to remove the Fire TV Stick from the TV and let it cool down. Reconnect and try to get back the signal on Fire Stick.
