How to Fix a Blank or Unresponsive Fire Stick Screen

There are a few things you can try to fix a blank or unresponsive Fire Stick screen: 1. Restart your Fire Stick. Unplug the power cord from the back of the device and wait 30 seconds. Then, plug the power cord back in and turn on the device. 2. Check your HDMI cable. Make sure that the HDMI cable is securely plugged into both the Fire Stick and your TV. If the cable is loose, it can cause the screen to go black. 3. Try a different HDMI port. If your Fire Stick is plugged into an HDMI port on your TV that doesn't work, try plugging it into a different port. 4. Update your Fire Stick. Firmware updates can sometimes fix bugs that can cause the screen to go black. To update your Fire Stick, go to Settings > My Fire TV > About > Check for Updates. 5. Factory reset your Fire Stick. This is a last resort, but it can sometimes fix a black screen issue. To factory reset your Fire Stick, go to Settings > My Fire TV > About > Reset to Factory Defaults. If you've tried all of the above steps and your Fire Stick screen is still black, you may need to contact Amazon customer support for further assistance.
