It could be located on the sides of the TV, or less commonly, along the bottom edge. If so, check the TV itself - most models will have an input-selector button next to the power and volume buttons. Step 1: The TV remote might have an input button or source button, but often the hotel will swap out the manufacturer’s remote with one of its own that may make input switching impossible. It’s now time to turn on the TV and see if you can switch the source to your Fire TV Stick’s HDMI input. You may have to unplug something or, if all else fails, an extra-long micro USB cord could save you a lot of grief. If there isn’t an open one within the reach of your USB cord’s length, that’s a tricky dilemma. Step 2: If that doesn’t work, it’s time to look for a nearby power outlet.
Step 1: If there’s no USB port on the TV, take a look around the desk or the console to which the TV is mounted - a growing number of hotels install USB ports for power near the TVs for just this sort of situation. The USB cable that came with your Fire TV Stick is designed to siphon power from an available USB port on a TV, but since not all TVs have one of these, you should definitely bring along the USB wall adapter. If space is tight, use the HDMI extender cable that came with your Fire TV Stick. Step 3: Once a free port has been found, plug in your Fire TV Stick. If there is, you might need to unplug it in one of the next steps. Step 2: While you’re looking, take note to see if there’s already an HDMI cable plugged into the TV. They should be clearly labeled as HDMI 1, HDMI 2, etc. Step 1: Check the sides of the TV, or if you can access it, take a look around the back.
