Modern electronics often get bugs in the machines, and the easiest way to get rid of them is to perform the infamous IT adage of turning it off and on again. It will fix most technological problems, truthfully. But what do you do when the device doesn’t have a power button? Pulling the power might be overkill or a step too far. You might be able just to reset it.
Where is the Power Button on the FireStick Lite?
When you hit the power button on your FireStick Lite remote, it doesn’t turn off the FireStick Lite but puts it into Sleep Mode.
The same goes for if you ask Alexa to turn your FireStick off. She will still put it into Sleep Mode so that she can listen for more commands. The only way to have it go off and come back on is to do a reset.
All of these methods yield the same results and the same reset. The only difference is methodology. It is all the user’s preference in which way they want to go about it.
