How To Fix Insignia Fire TV Stuck On Language Selection Screen
Follow these five quick methods to fix the Insignia Fire TV that is stuck on the language selection screen-
1. Pair Your Remote
I often advise performing a factory reset when a device encounters software issues or becomes sluggish.
If you also restored your Insignia Fire TV to the factory defaults, all data has been erased, and the remote is unpaired from Bluetooth devices.
Now, when your Fire TV reboots, it requires a complete setup, and the first step is language selection.
As your remote is unpaired from the TV, you must pair it again to confirm the language selection.
Follow these steps to pair your Insignia Fire TV remote-
- Point the remote towards the TV and press and hold the Home buttons for 30 seconds.
- Wait for the next 60 seconds until the gong sound comes from the TV.
- Now, select your language and click on the Continue button.
- Repeat this process 5 to 6 times if your remote won’t pair on the first attempt.
2. Reset Your Remote
If your remote doesn’t pair with the above methods, you need to reset your remote. This will fix all the glitches on the remote and be ready to be paired with your TV.

- If not, press and hold the Home button for 15 seconds.
Note– Some Insignia Fire TV remotes have a physical pairing button located inside the back panel. Just press that button to pair your remote with the TV.
3. Replace Remote Batteries
