Firestick won’t work when switched to another




I had a Firestick connected to my main Sony TV set, it was giving a little trouble, a friends brother in law is sorting it out
I have a second TV, mainly used by the children, it's set up is as follows: the aerial goes into a Humax PVR out from the PVR to a Samsung TV. that Firestick. It worked perfectly.
I decided to borrow the second Firestick while waiting for the one been updated. Here is where the trouble started. When I put the Firestick into the Sony TV , it tried to update the software but it just kept looping, so I decided to move it back to the original TV now it doesn’t work on either TV !
The Firestick is in HDMI 1 and the power source comes from the wall socket.
What can I do to get my Firestick working again?
Thanks for any advice you can offer. Kevin

Does anything come on the screen ? Likely dead. I have one that only has the start up screen after a similar incident.

When firesticks update they can appear to loop ( as differ ent components update one after the other) If the stick hasn’t been updated for a while this could take some time. There is a sign on screen telling you not to unplug the stick as you run the risk of bricking it. Which sounds like you have.1
