We have 2 Firesticks in the van, which we only use occasionally, eg when there’s no satellite signal. One is about 5 years old, the other a couple of years old and must have been in a sale (we wouldn’t normally get a 4k for a small TV.)
Both have been working fine (with occasional issues over signal strength), but over the last few months it’s been impossible to get them working. We’ve had a concerted go with them this morning, but have found that both show as No Signal - this is in 3 separate TVs, including one in the house which we plugged into direct (ie without an extension cable.). We used on USB in the van (which has always worked in the past) and on mains in the house, using the supplied USB adapters. Used both HDMI ports on each TV.
I’ve just spent an hour on live chat with Amazon support (time I’ll never get back!) and tried all their suggestions, to no avail. I don’t see how it can be a plug/socket issue, with 2 Firesticks and 3 TVs. And equally it’s hard to imagine it’s been a power surge- the newer 4k Firestick is only connected when it’s in use, and I think it’s only been used twice.
But for all the world it feels like the Firesticks have both suddenly died. Has anyone else had a similar problem?
