Causes of Fire Stick Turning Itself Off

A Fire Stick turning off by itself can be caused by a wide variety of things. However, if your TV itself isn’t turning off with your Fire Stick, this means it’s usually a problem with the Fire Stick itself. Though, this problem can be caused by issues with your TV or issues with the connection between your Fire Stick and your TV, among other things.

Whether the problem is with your Fire Stick, your TV, or something else, though, steps to fix this problem don’t require much time or energy and can be attempted in 10 to 15 minutes.

How to Fix Fire Stick Turning Itself Off

While there isn’t usually one specific reason why a Fire Stick turns itself off, when this happens the problem can often be fixed without much struggle as it is usually a temporary glitch.

Restart your Fire Stick. Unplug your Fire Stick, wait 30 seconds, and plug it back in. After power cycling your device, turn it on and check to see if it continues to turn itself off. Temporary bugs can often be resolved by doing this.

Try using your Fire Stick on another TV. If the problem is with your TV and not your Fire Stick, your Fire Stick will resume working normally on a different display. If not, then the problem is likely with your Fire Stick.

Try using your Fire Stick with another HDMI port on your TV. If you don’t have another TV to test your Fire Stick on, try using a different HDMI port on your TV. Sometimes, problems can be specific to a port on your TV, and issues like this can cause strange problems like devices shutting themselves off.

Connect Fire Stick directly to your TV. If you have a setup where your Fire Stick isn’t directly connected to your TV, like if it’s connected to an HDMI hub for example, try connecting it directly to your TV. All devices may not be compatible with Fire Stick, and some can cause issues when used with it.

Reset your Fire Stick. If none of the above steps do anything to address your issue, try resetting your Fire Stick. If your problem is software-related on the Fire Stick itself, resetting your Fire Stick back to factory defaults can solve these issues.
