Restart the internet connection
The error code in question means the Prime Video service is unavailable from your internet. To potentially fix this, users can try restarting their internet. That includes restarting or power cycling the internet modem and router by unplugging the power on each device for about a minute.
After unplugging both the modem and router for a minute, reconnect the modem first. Wait for the modem to confirm connection to the internet, and then connect your router. Restart Prime Video and any associated devices after resetting the internet, and try playing the show or movie again.
Restart the Fire TV device
If restarting the internet does not resolve the error, reconnecting the Fire TV device may work. To restart the Fire TV device:
- Remove the Fire Stick or Fire TV device from the HDMI port.
- Replug the Fire Stick or Fire TV device back into the HDMI port.
- Try a different HDMI port.
One final option is to reset the Fire TV to factory default settings. Doing this removes all downloaded content and in-app purchases, which means users will need to redownload them.
Factory Reset the Fire TV
To factory reset a Fire TV device using the remote:
- Press and hold the Back button and right on the navigation circle simultaneously for 10 seconds.
- Confirm the Factory Reset on the television.
- Failing to confirm proceeds with the reset after a few seconds.
- Wait for the device to finish resetting.
