t's possible that the 5-year-old accidentally changed the input source on the Samsung TV, which is why you can't get the Fire Stick to work. Here are the steps you can follow to switch the input source back to the HDMI port where your Fire Stick is connected:
Turn on your Samsung TV and your Amazon Fire Stick.
Using your Samsung remote, press the "Input" button.
A list of input sources should appear on your screen. Use the arrow keys on your remote to select the HDMI port where your Fire Stick is connected. The HDMI port may be labeled as "HDMI 1," "HDMI 2," or something similar.
Press the "Enter" or "OK" button on your remote to select the HDMI input source.
Your TV should now switch to the HDMI input where your Fire Stick is connected, and you should see the Fire Stick's home screen on your TV.
If you're still having trouble, try unplugging the Fire Stick and plugging it back in to make sure it's properly connected. Also, make sure the TV and Fire Stick are both updated to their latest software versions.
Sounds like the TV doesnt recognize the Firestick as an HDMI source. Or the Firestick isn't getting power. Or the Firestick is broken.
Does the firestick work in the HDMI port the DirectTV is currently in?
When you used directv how did you get the signal? was it automatic? if so the firestick should work. Are you sure you getting power to the firestick. I have had problems in the past using the USB for Power that is on the TV. I always plug the usb power from the Firestick to an outlet instead of the USB power if available on the TV.
Firesticks can be plugged into your TV via a HDMI slot. It works like Roku, it has streaming apps and it does allow you to watch Amazon Prime. It no longer has the YouTube app in case you watch that.
Fire TV Stick connections.... 1 Connect USB cable into fireTV stick, and plug in power adapter. ... 2 Amazon fireTV stick and power adapter. ... Connect fireTV stick to HDMI port via HDMI extender. 3 Amazon fireTV stick connected via HDMI EXTENDER CABLE TO Monitor HDMI port. ... 4 Turn on TV and select HDMI port
Plug your Firestick into one of the HDMI ports on your TV. Plug the USB power cable into your Firestick and into the wall or a USB outlet on your TV (if there is one)
Turn on your TV and set the INPUT device to the correct HDMI port. There should be a splash screen or setup screen on your TV at that point.
Using your Firestick remote, navigate to network settings and scan for your WI-FI router, Then enter the Wi-Fi password for your router (the same one you use for your smart phone or laptop).
You should be able to fully use your Amazon Firestick, and if you have Amazon Prime, be able to access all prime and free offerings from Amazon.
