Insignia Fire TV Keeps Restarting, Stuck on Reboot Issue Fixed!!

Troubled by your Insignia Fire TV Keeps Restarting? Essentially, you need to reset it. But how do you do that when it keeps going On and Off every 5 seconds?

I have seen the same issue when one of my friends told me about it. He purchased the Insignia Fire TV Edition because it was one of the best budget-friendly and feature-rich devices.

The fact is it is worth the value but his happiness faded after he encountered this problem. After doing nothing, it suddenly started rebooting itself again and again and after a few minutes the screensaver came on.

It happens due to a software issue that conflicts with settings. I have seen it on different TVs, and while some TVs have Reset buttons, not all of them do, which makes it a real issue.
