My Firetv has stopped working. The light us blinking orange. Usually you can fix this by disconnecting the power for a few minutes and rebooting. When I do this I get a No Network Connection error and the suggestion to go to Settings.
The problem is that we lost the remote for the FireTV a while ago. And the FireTV app that I’ve been using on my phone as a remote has stopped also. So I can’t click on the go to settings button.
I thought buying a new remote would fix this. But I can’t get the new remote to pair with the FireTV.
I just realized I’m going to have to watch the Falcons game instead of the Patriots game.
My brother is super good with this stuff. Unfortunately he’s gone to the states for work this week I’ll text him and see if he reply’s. I’ll copy and paste.
Like I said in that other thread: Internet posting is not the lucrative career that being an Angry Clown Deity is. I can’t just go buy new stuff every time something breaks.
I’m not familiar with the FireTV stick. If you don’t have a functioning remote, then how can you navigate to the menu that allows you to pair with a second remote?
Edit: It sounds like you’ve already tried everything recommended by the guy in the video below. I am not sure why he emphasizes keeping the fire stick plugged into the HDMI port of your TV while power cycling it, though. I can’t see how that would make any difference, but I am no expert on the HDMI standard.
