The TV remote has a button for that. Input Select or Source or SEL. However simply turning off anything except the firestick should make it work. I presume the firestick came with a remote. Simply turning it off and on from that should do it. Make sure you can see the firestick when you press the buttons.

SOURCE: It doesn't work. I can not even select which

Hi,
I'm assuming here that the cable reception is not the issue here(working fine on other tv) same as the DVD player and the HDMI cable. This is an indication of faulty Tuner and I/O circuitry in the main board. This is responsible for processing the inputs such as the cable signal, HDMI signals, etc, and feed to the Audio/Video IC which is in this board also. This board is repairable only at the Polaroid Service Centers because the IC's and other parts are surface mounted and quite sensitive to ESD. If you are going to DIY, I would advice you to replaced the entire main board rather than troubleshoot it because the cost is almost the same and this is more convenient for you. It will not require any soldering.

If you don't have necessary tools and can't replace the main board yourself, I would advice you to seek for an assistant of a qualified technician.

Also, check if your unit is still under warranty/extended warranty period, avail it because the manufacturer will fix it for free. Opening the back cover will void the warranty.

Hope I helped you.

Have a nice day!

Thanks for using Fixya.

Are you sure that you are using an HDMI cable to connect your computer to the TV?

Many people use a VGA type cable connector to connect the two, which is the standard type of connector used between computers and monitors. If you are in fact using a VGA cable, then you will need to select VGA or PC on the TV's INPUT MODE SELECTOR in order to view the video signal from the computer.

Also be sure to hit the ENTER or SELECT or the RIGHT ARROW button when you scroll down and get to the input mode that you want to select from the menu options.

Here are some links to a few images which show the different cable connector types just to be sure we are using the same terminology.

HDMI Connector:

Just use your mouse to click on the links, which are the underlined and highlighted sections of text just above. This will open a new web browser page automatically for you and allow you to view the information and images at the websites indicated.

In addition to the cable type you are using, also please let me know what type of computer you are using / connecting to the TV. Specify whether it is a laptop or desktop, and what the brand / model number is.

Please also clarify whether or not your TV works at all now in any mode since this is not entirely clear from the information provided.

Thank you.

Joe.

SOURCE: Emerson TV Model #LC401EM2F Fix after lightning?

Lightning damage on LCD TV's can be a doozie. You really need to get it checked out by a qualified technician. I've repaired several TV's hit by lightning, most of the time the damage was limited to the power supply board. However, it is possible that multiple boards were damaged. If multiple boards were damaged, it's not worth repairing the set.

Am connecting a SANSUI TV to a Dish Hopper. No problem with HDM1, but where to land the HDM2 cable at the Hopper?

I have never heard of a dish hopper before, but this tells you how to set them up. A Sansui is probably not the best choice as they are cheap and nasty televisions.

My tv was working just fine and now my hdm1 tv (hdm2 is the main tv and it seems to work) says there are no data packets and shuts off my tv. Can you tell me what the problem is and how to fix it?

Replace the hdmi and coax cables. This kind of communication failure is usually a signal issue. Have your cable provider check their cable to make sure they are getting sufficient signal strength at the TV.
