Amazon Fire TV Stick users are just realizing they’re making ‘turn off mistake’ that’s causing black screen glitch
AMAZON Fire TV Stick users who are struggling with their device turning off randomly could be making an input mistake.
It’s easily avoidable and could save you some valuable TV-watching time.
According to LifeWire, if your Fire TV Stick turns off randomly, you could be making an HDMI port mistake.
The error can leave you facing a black screen when you should be watching your favorite shows.
You might notice the issue if your Fire Stick starts turning off by itself.
This can indicate a glitch in the HDMI port you’re using.
The solution is to try using a different HDMI port.
In a worst-case scenario, Lifewire suggests using a different TV.
You can also try rebooting or restarting your device.
Restarting your Amazon Fire TV Stick is easy.
The Amazon website states: “Restart your device from the device menu or by unplugging the power cord or adapter and then plugging it back in after 3 seconds.”
Restarting devices can help resolve common issues such as slow performance.
There are also two buttons you can hold down on the Fire Stick remote for a quicker restart.
Hold down the Play button and the Select button on your remote.
Press them simultaneously for around five seconds.
You should eventually see a logo appearing on your TV, which indicates that the device has restarted.
The button trick saves you from getting up and unplugging the TV only to plug it back in.
