Amazon Fire TV Stick: Firestick stop working on TV

Wed, 11 Feb 2026 15:58:11 -0700

My firestick stopped working so I ordered anew one. It won't pair and I cannot get the app screen to stay on. I have ITV and other apps on the TV and can't get to them or the settings. The only thing that comes on without my choosing is one channel on teh ITV app. Nothing on the firestick can change it. Really strange problem.

Thanks for your input

Amazon Fire TV Stick: Can't connect to new Wi-Fi...

Wed, 28 Jan 2026 11:04:15 -0700

My firestick is connected to my old Wi-Fi and that Wi-Fi is off now but I'm trying to connect it to my new Wi-Fi and it's not allowing me because it's telling me that it's not connected to my home network. My remote won't allow me to get into my settings to change the Wi-Fi. Can someone help me? Also the charger that came with the firestick is gone so I am using my phone charger. Is that a problem? Help me please someone!

One of the triggers keeps going off randomly, and the only way to stop it is to pull the trigger up. What is the problem and how do I fix it? And if it can't be fixed, is there a way to change the trigger deadzone?

Amazon Fire TV Stick: How to factory reset the Fire stick without any remote or app?

Mon, 06 Oct 2025 09:10:30 -0700

Why is my Fire Stick disconnected from the internet after I ran a "Share it app"? The remote also stopped working. I can't use the Fire TV Remote App as the Stick has no internet access.

I sideloaded an android app "share it" it on firestick but when I tried to send the data from my phone to fire stick, the screen just froze. I had to restart the TV but by then fire stick had lost the network access. Fire Tv -Stick is dispaying "No network access" message. Earlier it was connected to two modems but now its not detecting either of them. Somehow remote also stopped working. I tried two diffrent physical remotes (with fresh batteries) but now I can't navigate inside it by any means.

I don't know the reason but I guess the ‘share it’ app tried to create a shared hotspot network to allow data transfer but maybe fire stick is not configured for it.

Is there any method to factory reset the device without turning it on ?

Roku 3: roku keeps shutting off

Mon, 22 Sep 2025 22:05:29 -0700

why does my roku 3 keep shutting down?

Thanks but I did. Tried different HDMI as well as the three RCA jacks and also 2 different tv’s. I also reset the Roku to factory settings and even then, it shut down while loading all the channels. As I was re-setting it up it accepted the wireless name/password and started to load 1 of 88 channels but shut down while the channels were loading. I unplugged and plugged back in and it started loading 1 of 52 channels then shut down again midstream. Re-booted again and loading 1 of 33… shut down a couple more times but finally completed. After ALL that back to the same thing. after 2 to 5 minutes of watching whatever it shuts down.
