September 23, 2023 by admin

Is your Amazon Fire Stick not working? here are the Common Problems and Solutions. Hello friends in this guide I am going to write about different issues that arise while using your Amazon Fire TV stick. Many issues may arise in Amazon Fire TV sticks due to which your Firestick may not work properly. You need to have some patience and check for the problem of your fire stick and its corresponding solution.

Firestick not working common problems and solutions

1. The Fire TV stick won’t turn on

The first thing you need to check is the Amazon Firestick adapter if your Firestick won’t turn on. If your Firestick working fine then you need to check the USB cable connecting your Firestick and the adapter. If everything is fine then there might be an issue with the device itself.

Touch the device if it is hot then wait for some time and try turning it on once again. Still, if your firestick won’t turn on then follow this guide.

Make sure that the fire stick adapter is powered ON. Remove the TV plug from the power socket while the fire stick is still connected to the TV.
Wait for 1 minute and then plug the TV unit back in the power socket.
Make sure that the HDMI connection is secure
Check your fire stick input channel it may turn on now.

If the original power adapter and cable that came with the Fire Stick are not working then replace them with a new one.

2. Firestick TV remote not working or pairing

If your Firestick TV remote not working or is unable to pair with your firetv stick then check the batteries first. If they are drained replace them with the new one. Still, your Amazon Fire stick not working simply unplug the power supply from the device wait for 30 seconds and then plug it back into the power supply. If you are not able to fix the issue then simply follow the guide which I published earlier.

Hope you can fix this issue after reading this guide.

3. App errors, Audio/video issues, blank or frozen screen issues

If you are facing app errors, audio and visual problems, and frozen or blank screen issues then there is one common fix. You need to restart your Fire TV stick. You can do this in two ways

You can restart your Fire TV stick by holding the select and play/pause buttons at the same time or
Navigate to “Settings” on your Fire Stick.
Scroll down and select “My Fire TV.”
Choose “Restart” and confirm.

4. Home is currently unavailable

This is the most common issue which every Firestick user may face.

Is Amazon Fire Stick not loading home?

This issue may arise when your Fire TV stick won’t connect to a Wi-Fi network.

All you need to do is to check that you have access to the Wi-Fi connection and that your Fire TV stick is connected to it. A stable internet connection is crucial for streaming with the Fire Stick. If your fire stick is not connecting to the Wi-Fi network restart your router and then connect to it. This may resolve your issue

5. Fire TV stick not showing the picture

If your power adaptor as well as the USB are functioning well and the TV plug is properly connected to the socket then check for the HDMI cable. A faulty HDMI cable may result in no picture you need to check with another cable.

Also, modern TV sets will have multiple HDMI Ports. Check the HDMI input if the Firestick is on HDMI 1 and you are looking for a picture on HDMI 2 you need to switch the input from HDMI 2 to HDMI1.

6. The fire TV stick is Struck and is not responding

When your Firetv is struck and is not responding even if you press the buttons on the remote then a simple restart will fix this issue. You can simply turn off the power switch of the adapter and then power On it will restart.

If the firestick is struck on the particular app and the remote is working then follow these steps

Navigate to “Settings” on your Fire Stick.
Scroll down and select “My Fire TV.”
Choose “Restart” and confirm.

Once the device restarts, check if the problem is resolved.

7. FireStick struck on Software Update or Optimizing System storage and applications

This problem arises when there is a software update to your Firestick.

It may usually take 5 to 10 minutes depending on your internet connectivity for the update to happen. Wait for the suggested amount of time. In case your Firestick is struck on this screen or continuously rebooting then there will be a bad update. Perform the following operations on your Fire TV Stick

Check the power adaptor and USB cable. If they are faulty replace them with another one.
Restart your Fire TV stick
Check with different HDMI Ports
Reset your Fire TV Stick.

Even though you have performed all the above steps and still the problem is not solved you need to contact Amazon Customer Support. I have faced the same problem my Fire TV Stick was not working no matter how many times I have tried restarting, changing cables and resetting the Fire TV stick.

I made a call to Amazon customer support and they replaced the Fire TV stick with a new one. The new one is perfectly working. If you are also facing the same problem and don’t know what to do then simply chat or make a call to Amazon customer support they will solve the issue with your Fire TV Stick.

8. Fire TV Stick Overheating

In case your Fire TV Stick is overheating make sure you plug it off and let it cool down for some time. If it still continues to overheat then take it to a hardware shop they will open and apply heat sink paste on it. Your Fire TV Stick won’t heat again.

I have written down all the possible ways to fix your Fire Stick not working. If you are facing other problems with your Fire TV Stick just comment down below I will try to write down possible solutions for the issue. Thank you.

Display driver stopped responding and has recovered issue. Solved!

May 6, 2021 by admin

Hello friends I am back with one more guide. Today in this guide I am going to write on how to fix display driver stopped responding and has recovered issue. I got windows 8 operating system running on my PC and was looking to edit a personal video. While the video editing software was about to start I got a notification pop up on the bottom of my screen.

It has greeted me with a message that display driver has stopped responding and has recovered. If you too come across such an issue and don’t know how to fix then here’s a quick guide for you.

Here’s a fix for display driver has stopped issue

Before we try to fix this issue lets know about the cause of this issue. In a PC the graphic driver enables communication between the operating system and the Graphic card. If your video adapter or driver has taken longer than the time expected to response then windows will detect this issue and attempt to recover and reset the hardware.

As a result your system will become unresponsive and an error message “Display driver stopped responding and has recovered” will pop up on the bottom of your screen.

In order to fix this issue I have modified the registry values of the graphic driver. You too can do it by simply following the step by step process

Before we start make sure that you close all the running programs on your PC.
Now go to the search box and type REGEDIT. An user account control window will pop on your screen. Click on Yes. If you are using Windows 7 or older version of windows then you will not see this Pop up window on your screen.
A new window called Registry editor opens up on your screen. Before we start modifying anything make sure you take back up of registry. You can do it by simply going to the file option on top and click on Export. Save the registry backup on the location of your choice.
Follow the path and locate to the following registry subkey:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\GraphicsDrivers

Right Click on the Graphic Drivers folder and select New > Dword (32-bit) value
Rename it as TdrDelay, right click and select modify
Enter the value 6 and keep Hexadecimal checked. Close the registry window.

Not Receiving Instagram Security code SMS? solution

December 5, 2020 by admin

Hello friends today I am going to write on an issue that arises while creating a new Instagram account. This guide will come to the rescue for those who are not receiving Instagram security code SMS while creating a new account. Two weeks ago I have gone through a similar kind of problem and this guide is the result. If you too are looking for a solution to this issue then you are on the right page.

Here’s my story! Earlier I made an Instagram account using my mobile number and somehow I thought of deleting it and making a new one. I deleted that account thinking that I might be able to make a new account on the same number.

To my surprise, I am not receiving Instagram Security code SMS on the mobile number. I tried verifying by email but I am not receiving the Instagram verification code on my mail also. I will cover this issue in the later part of this article.

Thinking that the server might be overloaded and it will take time for me to receive the verification code. I tried the next day also, to my surprise I am not receiving the security code. Here’s what I have done to get the code.

The first thing to do is Check your Internet Connection

If you are not receiving the Instagram security code SMS then check whether there is an active Internet connection on your side. If not try to connect to the Internet. Once you get an active Internet connection then try restarting the device through which you are trying to sign up.

Check your Phone number as well as your signal strength

Make sure you have entered the correct phone number in your Instagram settings and see whether there is a strong cellular network. If not then contact the customer care of your cellular network and tell them to resolve the issue.

Check Spam Folder: Sometimes, SMS messages can be mistakenly marked as spam by your phone or messaging app. Check your spam or junk folder in your messaging app to see if the security code message ended up there.

Wait for some time if you are trying for the first time

In case you are creating a new Instagram account for the first time. The first thing you have to do is to have patience and wait for some time. You will get the code for sure after some time. Still, if you haven’t gotten the code after a long wait it’s better to try the next day. In case of a server overload, your number might be in the queue. So you need to have some patience and wait for your turn to get the SMS.

Change the number if you have already used it

In case if you already own an Instagram account on a mobile number and trying to create one more using the same number. You need to change the mobile for the new account as you won’t get any Security code on this number. Many Instagram marketers try to create more than one account in order to promote a product or brand. Forget about receiving the code. Instagram won’t allow you to create multiple Instagram accounts with the same phone number.

Try Incognito mode else log in from another device

If you are not able to receive security code SMS from Instagram there might be a chance that your IP address may be blocked to use Instagram. So try changing the login from another device. In case if you don’t have another device you can try VPN for changing your IP address. Some users online say that logging from Incognito mode has solved the issue for them. Give it a try who knows it may work for you too.

Try an alternate verification mode

Well if you are not getting a verification code to your mobile number. You can try email verification. You need to signup using an email ID which is not used earlier. Once after successfully sign up, you will receive the security code in your mail.

While you click on sign up there is an option to login with Facebook instead of creating an account. This might help you get rid of Instagram verification.

Try receiving the code from another device

If you are not getting the SMS code on your mobile then try changing the device there may be a hardware issue with your device. So swap the sim card on another device and then try signing up on Instagram. You may receive the code in case there is a network antenna issue on your mobile.

Check whether Instagram is offline

No matter how hard you try still you are not getting SMS then you need to check whether Instagram service is down. You can check at the down detector. A simple Google will reveal the URL for you.

Check whether you have accidentally blocked your number
