I tested the consumption with a cheap USB tester. The Fire TV 4k consumed ~150mA while watching FHD TV, i never had any issues other than no HDMI ARC at startup (could also be the soundbar software).
This helped me soooo much!! Plugging the USB into a random charger block and just plugging into the outlet. Couldn't figure out why the TV kept restarting & every video I watched just said to unplug for 5 minutes & hold power button for 30 seconds which obviously didn't work. Thank you so much for this video
What I did was take a 10ft outdoor/indoor power brick stuck it to the back of my tv with double sided tape. Plugged that into the outlet then plugged everything needed into the power brick it works great and looks great.
Yep, I had the random rebooting until I broke down and ran a long USB cable thru my wall down to the powerstrip. I've thought about getting the power-assisted (battery) cord, but since it's working fine now I haven't bothered.
Great video, I’ve never heard of the issues of plugging into the tv instead of the wall. It doesn’t hurt that you’re handsome either. My firetv stick is always plugged into two usbs and I’ve had no issues. Lucky me 🤘
My TV has 2 500mha USB port and pluging in these will make de firestick reboot all the time. But there is one extra port that is "time machine ready" and has 1000mha prepared for a external hard drive. This one i can use and the stick works perfectly fine.
i got a LG TV from like year 2013 and my firestick works with the TV plug power great. I dont have any issues and sometimes a blackout happened like once every 2 hours once. The only main problem that I have is that I cannot update it because it says it doesnt have enough power, thats the reason why I searched this video up
I didn’t know until Friday that i accidentally had plugged my firestck into my USB port and i right away plugged into the HDMI port. Did i mess up my tv with this USB port?
Am I the only one who is missing that the USB in TV's is exactly and really the only purpose being installed it to power converter/any other device needing USB power? What is Earth shattering about this???
I connected a fire stick a purchase to a TV because I have subscribed to Gen2 streaming services but my tv won't show nothing about installing the Device,what can I do?? it's an 5 years old flat tv
My Amazon Fire stick is connected to my TVs USB 5V 1AMP(MAX) connection. Never had an issue. My old TVs are only 500 milliamps. So, it doesn't work well.
Ok , i tested with an usb tester . The Amazon fire stick 4 k never pass 300 Ma . So really need 1 A ...i don't think so. I don't have any problem connected on a 500 Ma port . If You have a Samsung tv , you have 1 A usb port ( HDD ) , mine is from 2013 so not so new . Good luck !
I have a Nintendo Switch with a spare USB port. It says the USB ports on the switch have a power output of 5V at 1.8. This exceeds the requirement for the Fire Stick 5V at 1. Will I run into other problems by providing more power?
In my tv there is 1 hdmi and another is hdmi earc ‘ I already used hdmi port for my mini pc now i have to install my fire stick in my tv’ now does it support to hdmi earc.. can i install my fire stick in hdmi earc
Hi can we plug firestick to HDMI port and sound bar to Arc, will the firestick sound come out to soundbar because i am planing to buy soundbar but i have an old bravia support ARC but no HDCP
So my friend I have a Smart tv Samsung curve tv! I was thinking of buying a Amazon firestick and contact to the back of the tv! See if I could stream movies with this! Because I don't got internet or router let me know if this works my friend thank you for your time 🙏!
I just bought a firestick and this video was really helpful for setting it up. I really appreciate u for sharing this info
You're the man! It fixed it when I put the USB out of the TV and into an outlet

I have a mi stick connected to tv usb port at 5v 500ma. Yes, performance is slower compared to the usb adaptor but still the stick works.
Hey man, was thinking of getting one myself. I also have a 500ma port. Did you run into any issues?

fire TV 4k comes with hdmi extender. I can imagine this would further increase the power requirement too. Great vid, thanks
i don´t think this a relevante consuption

Can I plug the power cable to a wall outlet with electricity 220v? Or is it only for 120v?

do you have the "time machine ready" usb port in your lg? Here i have no problem what so ever, can even update just ignoring the message.
I'm using usb port to power my fire tv stick and there is no issue since then but can it effect the fire tv stick in long-term?
Yes bro it's not advisible
Thx!

I didn’t know until Friday that i accidentally had plugged my firestck into my USB port and i right away plugged into the HDMI port. Did i mess up my tv with this USB port?
Question I have a Samsung flat tv but the sound is muffled, what can I do.?
battery cable的链接失效了，现在在哪里可以买？
Am I the only one who is missing that the USB in TV's is exactly and really the only purpose being installed it to power converter/any other device needing USB power? What is Earth shattering about this???
not at all, they are for usb devices such as flash drives
I connected a fire stick a purchase to a TV because I have subscribed to Gen2 streaming services but my tv won't show nothing about installing the Device,what can I do?? it's an 5 years old flat tv
I guess USB 3.0 (the blue one) provides 1000mA whereas USB 2.0 (the black one) provides 500mA.. but not sure about this.. in my tv it's that way..
can’t see anything and you take forever to get to the point
I may have to buy a 10ft micro cable then
My Amazon Fire stick is connected to my TVs USB 5V 1AMP(MAX) connection. Never had an issue. My old TVs are only 500 milliamps. So, it doesn't work well.
What if my TV doesn't have an hdmi port and only has usb port. So, will the hdmi to usb converter work?
no
Ok , i tested with an usb tester . The Amazon fire stick 4 k never pass
300 Ma . So really need 1 A ...i don't think so. I don't have any problem connected on a 500 Ma port . If You have a Samsung tv , you have 1 A usb port ( HDD ) , mine is from 2013 so not so new . Good luck !

Did you ever find out?

Any idea on how to connect Roku (via HDMI) and External Hard Drive (via USB) to single HDMI cable into TV (TV only has HDMI port)?
to run hard drive you probably need a powered usb hub
Roku works perfectly with this.
Wish I read this comment before deciding on the first stick over the roku
Does it low the life of fire TV stick? Please tell..
Yes I do not recommend
Sound problem ,no sound
then where are you supposed to plug it into?
Use the adaptor which came with it 🤦🏻♂️
How do I do it- you need to show how not just talk
hi friend, thanks for you cool video, could you help us make a video about our new projector?Thank you very much!
over 5 minutes of NOTHING
00:30 First time viewer... Why don't you just add an outlet behind the TV? you could do it in an hour at a cost of under $20 at the Orange box store.
Can’t. Apartment complex won’t allow it for some reason. Otherwise I would’ve done that so quickly haha.
I don't have a 4k tv.what can I do??? And I won't bye a smart tv.they listen to everything you say.and probably watching you.
Get a grip.
Use powerbank
This dude talks a lot and says nothing
Haha
