The TV does not turn on and the light does not light up

In the world of modern technology and advanced developments, we have become less likely to encounter problems with malfunctions. Manufacturers have learned to make high-tech equipment at the highest level. Thanks to this, they win customers and take leading positions in sales. However, all possible options and causes of breakdowns cannot be completely eliminated. Until now, people are faced with various defects when purchasing or breakdowns during long-term use of the TV. In this case, it is necessary to accurately determine the source of the defect and contact a specialist. But there are situations when it is not necessary to immediately contact the service center - you can handle the problem yourself.

The TV does not turn on: types of faults

The first step is to determine the cause of the problem. Once the source of the problem is identified, restoration and repair actions can begin.

Here are some reasons why your TV may not work:

1. Incorrect power connection or no power supply. In this case, the problem is not in the TV, but the wiring should be checked and, if necessary, changed.
2. The remote control is broken.
3. The power supply is damaged - you just need to replace it.
4. Incorrect operating mode setting.
5. Microchip malfunction and technical problems. In this case, you definitely need the help of a specialist.

IMPORTANT! Depending on the situation, the device can tell you what the problem is. Pay attention to the indicator and how it works. On different occasions it glows in a special way. This will make it easier to determine the source of the problem and help in choosing a repair method.

The light doesn't light up

As mentioned above, the indicator, in addition to performing the main function, may indicate a malfunction. At the same time, its backlight mode will change. The most common symptom is the complete absence of light bulb illumination. This reason is the most common, but also the most “harmless”. The fact is that if the indicator is inactive and there is no image on the screen, most likely the reason is a power failure:

1. Check the cable connection to the TV.
2. Check whether the device is plugged into the outlet and whether it is working properly.
3. Pay attention to the electrical panel, there is a possibility that the plugs have been knocked out.
4. The entire house may be de-energized, in which case you should just wait for the scheduled power supply to turn on.

IMPORTANT! If the indicator itself burned out, but there were no problems with electricity, then the image would appear.

The indicator flashes

If the network is working properly, the indicator works, but it blinks randomly, perhaps the reason lies in the remote control. Try to check its appearance and operation:

• hull integrity;
• no defects on the buttons;
• presence of batteries - try replacing both batteries with new ones.

If after checking the problem is not resolved, you can try turning on the TV using the control panel on the body of the equipment itself. The absence of a result indicates that the operating mode setting was selected incorrectly or was accidentally lost. The TV has several playback modes: standard mode, standby (sleep), connecting to a computer, outputting video from the player. Try using the settings to change the mode to standard and the picture should appear.

IMPORTANT! Some manufacturers specifically set blinking parameters for quick fault diagnosis. In this case, this should be written in the manual.

The light is constantly on

The continuous operation of the light bulb tells us that the equipment is connected to the network and electricity reaches it. Therefore, the problem, as in the previous version, should be looked for in the remote control. Carry out all the same manipulations mentioned above. Try pressing the buttons harder, sometimes they stick. If the problem is solved, then replace the control panel with a new one for convenience.

If there is no image even when turned on using the keypad on the case, the motherboard may be damaged. In this case, you need to contact a service center and check all electronics.

Extraneous sounds when the indicator is off and the TV does not turn on

On some models, in addition to the light sensor, there is a built-in sound sensor, which can tell a lot about possible problems. But it is worth distinguishing normal sounds from signs of breakdown.

Normal sounds are:

• a single click when turned on by the remote control indicates stable operation;
• Slight noise and crackling of the housing may occur when the plastic structural elements are heated.

With factory settings, there may be characteristic signals indicating problems.In such situations, you should study the instructions in detail or contact technical support for help.

When you click when you turn it on, the TV starts up. If there is no further work and no image, damage to the microcircuits can be assumed. Look under the cover; perhaps a burnt-out part can be easily identified.

Causes of malfunction of TVs of different brands

There are several types of TV devices: plasma, liquid crystal, LED. Nowadays, there are several leading manufacturers of equipment, and each of the companies has its own characteristic features.

If equipment from any company breaks down, the principle of checking is the same; look at everything according to the plan described above. If the problem is not solved, and the indicators work in some peculiar way, study the instruction manual; perhaps the manufacturer has described the supposed reasons.

So, Supra TVs break down due to frequent problems with microcircuits, Samsung's power supply is often damaged, and Philips can turn off due to overheating.

If the problem cannot be accurately determined, contact the service center staff for help. Do not throw away the warranty card - if you present it, you will receive assistance for free.
