Amazon Firestick Not Working! How To Fix?

[Smith]

My Amazon Firestick isn’t working properly—it’s either freezing, not loading apps, or not turning on at all. I’ve tried restarting it, but no luck so far. Has anyone experienced this before? What’s the best way to fix a Firestick that’s not working?

I’ve had that happen too. Try these quick fixes:

1. Unplug the Firestick from power for 30 seconds and plug it back in.
2. Check the HDMI connection and try a different port.
3. Replace the batteries in the remote or re-pair it.
4. Make sure your Wi-Fi is working.
5. If it still won’t load, go to Settings → My Fire TV → Restart or do a factory reset as a last resort.

A simple restart usually fixes most Firestick issues.
