Key notes
TheAmazonFire Stickis a handy little device that lets you essentially turn any old TV (as long as it has an HDMI port) into a Smart TV. However, like every other electronic device, it is not free from problems, as some users report that Firestick is showing no signal.
This issue can be frustrating, as it renders the device useless for some time. Fortunately, it is not the most difficult problem to solve, and we will show you how to do it in the ensuing sections of this guide.
Why is my Firestick saying no signal?
Below are some of the causes of the Firestick no signal issue:
How do I get rid of the No Signal message on my TV?
1. Check the HMDI cables and Ports
2. Consider doing an Amazon Power Stick “Reboot”
3. Check to see if the screen resolution is adequate
Incorrect or un-adaptive resolution may also affect the streaming with the Amazon Fire Stick.
As such, try to modify the screen resolution as per your Amazon Fire Stick’s compatibility.
4. Check your Internet connection
5. Check the input source
In some cases, the Firestick, no signal for the current input device issue, might occur because you are checking the wrong input source. You need to go through all the input channels on your TV to be sure.
6. Check the power source
Sometimes, this no-signal issue might be because the power equipment you use for your Firestick can not serve it well. This happens if the cable or adapter is not the original one that came with your device.
If you don’t have the original power set, you might need to order another one. Also, you should check your cable and adapter for any physical damage.
This is because any wear or tear on your power equipment can make them malfunction, leading to different issues.
7. Check HDCP compatibility
Another factor that can cause this issue is HDCP compatibility. HDCP is a feature introduced in modern TVs that puts a limitation on the rate at which digital content can be distributed illegally.
However, this feature is not available on older TVs. This can be the cause of the Firestick no signal error on TV. Unfortunately, the surest fix to this is to get a newer PC that is HDCP compatible.
Another option is to use an HDMI splitter which has a fallback mode. However, it must be noted that you should never use the HDMI splitter to distribute or private any digital content.
Finally, this option is not set in stone to work, but it has worked for some users. So, you should try it too.
With this, we can safely conclude this detailed guide on how to fix the Firestick no signal issue on Samsung TV and other products.
