I'm looking for some further input here. I have firetv black screen shows signs of power.. my small dog got a hold of the remote but not actual damage visiaully but now the tv won't turn on. I have - unpluged for 30 seconds, - tried different outlet, - swap batteries in remote remote gets warm and batteries get warm. . my thought is to get new remote but still the tv should still turn on .. the last thing I did was tell the tv go go in to sleep mode.
@MPCavalier yes , I forgot to mention this but the app doesn't seem to detect the tv
@Bacon
When this happened to me, i disconnected the ac from the back of the tv for a while and then reconnected and turned the tv on manually. Im sure you've tried that though, thats what fixed it for me.
@Bacon Could the power button be stuck internally? Can you open the remote and poke around to see if it is making contact?
@Bacon Also, there have been times when I had to unplug the fire tv module itself, wait, plug back in, and let it run through the processes before things worked normally again.
@Bacon what about the power button on the tv?
@Bacon most smart and flat screen TV.s have a ''hard reset'' procedure.
-usually it is something like unplug it , hold ''on'' button for 15sec and plug it in. (maybe google could help with this)
it fixed our TV that was stuck on a black screen. hope it can help
@Bacon if the remote is broken the power button on the tv should still turn on. You can get a new remote
@Pennyformythoughts funny thing I found there was power button on the tv it self used that power the tv on but I do believe the remote is broken. ordered one on amazon. YAY tv works was able to login to it from the firetv app
@Bacon that's great news!
@Bacon
If you have a cel phone, i believe there is an app for fire tv remote.
