How to fix Frozen or Stuck Screen on FIRE TV Stick with Buttons
To fix a frozen or stuck screen on an Amazon Fire TV Stick using only the remote’s buttons, you can perform a soft restart with a button combination. This method is quick, doesn’t erase data, and works on all Fire TV Stick models (including 4K and 4K Max) as of May 14, 2025, at 12:09 PM CDT. Below is a concise guide.
Restart Fire TV Stick with Remote Buttons
Use Your Fire TV Remote:
Ensure you’re using the physical Fire TV remote (standard or Alexa Voice Remote).
Press the Button Combination:
Hold down the Select (center) button and the Play/Pause button together for 5–10 seconds.
The Fire TV Stick should restart, with the screen going blank or showing a loading animation before rebooting to the Home screen in 10–30 seconds.
