This message means the TV is not receiving a picture from your device. It sounds serious, but it is usually very simple.

Start

Press Input on the TV remote

Use your TV’s remote, not the streaming device’s. Press Input or Source, then choose the HDMI number your device is plugged into.

Check the device has power

Look at the small light on your stick or box. If there is none, check the power cable and the wall outlet.

Push the cables in firmly

Push the HDMI connection firmly into the TV. If you use a short extender, check both ends. Loose connections are very common.

Try another HDMI port

Move the device to a different port, then choose that number with Input.

Unplug everything for a minute

Unplug the TV and the device from the wall. Wait one minute. Plug in the TV first, then the device.

Check the power source

Plug the device’s power into a wall outlet, rather than the TV’s USB port. The TV’s port is often too weak.

Final step

Still need help?

That is completely fine. A photo of the back of your TV is very helpful. Message us on WhatsApp or by email, any day from 6 AM to 11 PM Eastern Time. Tell us your device and what you see on the screen. A photo of the TV screen helps a lot.
