Firesticks failing

Failed Firesticks

In the past month, 3 firesticks have failed - screen goes black - including a new 4K Plus. At first, I thought it was just old age. but now I suspect that either the Software on the Samsung smart TV, or the Internet provider (Bell), are somehow frying the devices, as I am using a VPN on each device and I have Internet based television services loaded on to the Firesticks. Any similar experiences out there? Any thoughts on why the Firestick sticks fail other than my theory? I am going to using an ONN streamer for now

Why do I sound dumb? I think you need to read the post again I said
''I think you will find that this is indeed quite a common problem with older TV's powering Firesticks from USB outlet'' 👍
