Have you tried rebooting it? Turn it off at the wall for a minute then power it back on and see if that kicks it into life. They can be quite temperamental these pucks.

That's the problem with these cheaply made, mass-produced boxes - a few dodgy ones always get past the QC checks. Hopefully your replacement puck will be functional.

If you haven't already its always worth doing some other tests along with the rebooting it to actually see if the puck is faulty.

 

For example, how do you have it connected to the internet? If its via Wifi, have you tried via ethernet, if ethernet have you tried via Wifi? If you open the Netflix app on the Stream puck and go to get help -> check your network, what does it say your speed is from the puck? Its best to run this a few times at different points to get a rough average.

 

Also always worth ensuring that networked standby mode is set to ON and overnight power saving mode is set to OFF, as these can have an affect from turning the puck on first thing in the morning, or indeed anytime from standby.
