There cold be something wrong with the HDMI ports or the HDMI cable then or there might be a problem with your firestick then. Try a new firestick and a new HDMI cable to see if that helps.If the TV's screen is still flashing then there is a problem with the back light and the LCD for your TV.
A little more info may be needed. Does your TV say this as soon as you plug in your firestick or does it say this when you are trying to play a video? If the first hold down rewind "<<" while holding top circle of remote (outer ring) for 15 seconds. It is likely that your TV resolution is out of spec for the Firestick (4k?) and you will need to enable "legacy" (older) resolution mode on the Firestick. If this does not work, there are you You Tube videos on enabling this mode for your Firestick. If the second, then you are trying to play a video with an unsupported video Codec, in which case you would need to find a supported video.
Plug the fire TV stick into a HDMI port on the TV. Plug in power for firestick. Change the INPUT to that HDMI port Main firestick screen should appear after 10-20 seconds
Plug your Firestick into one of the HDMI ports on your TV. Plug the USB power cable into your Firestick and into the wall or a USB outlet on your TV (if there is one)
Turn on your TV and set the INPUT device to the correct HDMI port. There should be a splash screen or setup screen on your TV at that point.
Using your Firestick remote, navigate to network settings and scan for your WI-FI router, Then enter the Wi-Fi password for your router (the same one you use for your smart phone or laptop).
You should be able to fully use your Amazon Firestick, and if you have Amazon Prime, be able to access all prime and free offerings from Amazon.
The TV remote has a button for that. Input Select or Source or SEL. However simply turning off anything except the firestick should make it work. I presume the firestick came with a remote. Simply turning it off and on from that should do it. Make sure you can see the firestick when you press the buttons.
Yes you can continue to use your cable. Firestick is connected to the HDMI port. You must have your tv source on HDMI to configure Firestick. Lastly, you must have a good wireless internet signal to setup Firestick.
