Hdmi Light Blinking

Hello,I have a VSX-524 Pioneer receiver. I plugged my Amazon Fire tv into one of the HDMI ports. Now, my receiver does not turn on. All I have is an HDMI light blinking. I've tried holding the surround sound button and pressing the power button to reset. It does momentarily, then goes back to HDMI light blinking. I've tried looking at other fixes, but none of them have worked. How do I fix this? Thank you in advance!Jason

Plug the unit in and with the HDMI light flashing, press the power and the advanced surround button simultaneously and hold this combination for 5 seconds to clear the error. Should this not clear the error, you will have to open up your receiver and see if there is any visual damage. Consider changing the HDMI board.
