The first thing to check when your Firestick isn’t working on your Samsung TV is the HDMI port. Make sure the HDMI cable is securely plugged into both the Firestick and the TV, and check for any visible damage to the cable or ports. If the cable or ports are damaged, you may need to replace them.
Check the HDMI Input
Next, make sure the TV is set to the correct HDMI input. If you have multiple HDMI inputs on your TV, try switching to a different input to see if the Firestick starts working. You can usually switch between HDMI inputs using the “Input” or “Source” button on your TV remote.
Check the Firestick Power
If the Firestick is not turning on or responding, make sure it is properly powered. The Firestick should be plugged into a power outlet using the included power adapter. If the power adapter is not working or the Firestick is not receiving power, it will not function.
Restart the Firestick and TV
If none of the above steps have fixed the issue, try restarting both the Firestick and the TV. To restart the Firestick, unplug it from the power outlet and wait a few seconds before plugging it back in. To restart the TV, turn it off and unplug it from the power outlet for a few seconds before plugging it back in and turning it on.
