Updated this week

If your SnackTV Stick isn’t behaving the way it should—don’t stress. This guide walks you through common issues and quick solutions to get everything back on track.

Troubleshooting Steps

1. No Signal On TV / Black Screen

Symptoms:

  • TV displays “No Signal”

  • Screen is black or frozen

  • Nothing shows after connecting the device

Steps To Fix:

  • Make sure the HDMI cable is firmly connected to both the SnackTV Stick and your TV

  • Check that your TV input source is set to the correct HDMI port

    Reference the HDMI port label on your TV (e.g., HDMI 1, HDMI 2)

  • Confirm the SnackTV Stick is powered on (LED lights should be visible)

  • Try a different HDMI port or a known working HDMI cable, if needed

2. Device Not Powering On

Symptoms:

  • No LED lights

  • Device unresponsive

Steps To Fix:

  • Confirm the USB-C power cable is properly plugged into the SnackTV Stick and the wall charger

  • Make sure the charger is connected to a working outlet or power strip

  • Test with another outlet or a different USB-C charger if available

3. Can't Connect To Wi-Fi

Symptoms:

  • Wi-Fi setup screen doesn't appear

  • Device won't connect to network

Steps To Fix:

  • Restart the device by unplugging the power cable, waiting 10 seconds, and plugging it back in

  • Move the SnackTV Stick closer to your Wi-Fi router

  • Double-check your network name and password

  • Try using a mobile hotspot to confirm the device can connect

4. SnackTV Dongle Doesn't Auto-Connect To Wi-Fi

Symptoms:

  • Device powers on, but doesn't return to SnackTV screen

  • Appears offline or stuck on a blank display

Steps To Fix:

  1. Turn on your TV

  2. Press the power button once on the SnackTV remote — the LED light on the SnackTV Stick should turn on

  3. Before the LED light turns off, quickly press the Home button on the remote

  4. This will return the device to the SnackTV screen, bypassing the need to restart or reconnect to Wi-Fi

This is a common behavior. SnackTV dongles sometimes don't auto-connect on boot until prompted.


5. SnackTV App Not Launching / Crashing

Symptoms:

  • App freezes or closes

  • Unresponsive to input

Steps To Fix:

  • Restart the device by unplugging and reconnecting the power

  • Confirm the device is connected to the internet

  • Relaunch the app from the home screen using the remote

  • If the issue continues, contact Snackpass Support for help or next steps

6. General Lag Or Performance Issues

Symptoms:

  • Sluggish interface

  • Delays in response or app loading

Steps To Fix:

  • Restart the SnackTV Stick

  • Ensure your Wi-Fi connection is stable and has strong signal strength
