The TV does not turn on, the indicator light is on

The TV sometimes stops functioning properly, with the indicator either constantly on or blinking completely unevenly. If this is the case, it’s time to start looking for the reasons why the TV won’t turn on.

A television receiver can malfunction for a number of reasons. Moreover, they generally do not depend on the popularity of the brand, the model of a particular device and other external reasons. As for the TV device, it can be:

• kinescope;
• liquid crystal;
• plasma;
• LED

However, the reasons for device breakdowns are not related to these indicators. They can be absolutely the same for both very ancient models and ultra-modern ultra-light and ultra-thin options. Among them are the breakdown of the power buttons, incorrectly selected operating mode, malfunction of the control panel, and incorrect connection of the plugs. in the first case, the receiver simply does not turn off, in the second there is no image on the screen. If there are problems with the remote control, the device does not respond to pressing buttons on this device or the batteries that power the remote control have run out.

The indicator flashes

This state of affairs provides quite a lot of information. First, electricity is supplied to power the TV.Secondly, the indicator, one way or another, detects a breakdown, although it flashes red, which greatly helps in the search. It may well be that the problem is a faulty remote control. It is necessary to find out why:

• check the batteries, whether the power supplies are discharged, whether the connection is made correctly;
• will study the performance of the device, which tends to frequently fail;
• make sure that all components work as they should.

If attempts are made to correct the situation, but the light remains active, the error should be looked for using the instructions for this TV model. Typically, each such booklet has a section devoted to possible malfunctions and how to eliminate them. You should definitely take advantage of this.

The indicator light sometimes works unevenly when the TV is used as a computer monitor.

REFERENCE! The same can happen if the operating mode settings are selected incorrectly. In this case, for normal operation of the TV, you should select AV mode rather than PC mode.

On some TV models, the indicator may not blink randomly, but in a certain mode. For such receivers, manufacturers have provided self-diagnosis functions, certain results of which are demonstrated by a flashing light. The signals are intended for service specialists, who in this way can easily and quickly detect the cause of a breakdown.

The indicator is constantly on

The indicator is on without blinking, but the TV does not work? In this case, we can also conclude that power is supplied to the receiver, it is supplied normally, and the cause of the breakdown is not in it.You should try turning on the TV using only the remote control. In this case, it will be possible to check the serviceability of the remote control.

The device may have various problems, one of which is sticking buttons. For this reason, you cannot turn the device on or off. Accordingly, the remote control must be cleaned, or a new one must be purchased. And if the batteries are dead, they should be replaced. If necessary, install the batteries correctly.

IMPORTANT! If the indicator light is on properly, but the TV does not work, it is possible that the fault is in the motherboard.

It is also possible that the software may malfunction. Reliable and reliable diagnostics can only be carried out at a service center by specialists who have the necessary experience and have access to the appropriate specialized equipment.

What TVs have these problems?

While generally similar, all modern TV models may differ in many nuances. These are technical decisions of manufacturers who equip receivers with certain capabilities, or there are simply certain deficiencies that affect the quality of the device’s operation.

Usually all problems and methods for resolving them are indicated in the instructions for the TV. This document comes with the receiver and other parts. If the brochure is lost, the instructions can be easily found on the official website of the manufacturer or on the Internet.

TVs from the South Korean manufacturer Samsung have a wide variety of shortcomings. Therefore, the search for the causes of device malfunctions should begin with the power supply.It is possible that the power button on the TV panel does not work, there is a malfunction in the remote control, including non-working batteries. Common problems include a broken network cable, faulty socket, and broken extension cords.

Models that may be problematic are:

• le40r81b;
• le32r81b;
• le23r51b;
• le40s62b;
• le20s52bp.

On Philips TVs, problems may be caused by incorrectly selected active mode. These models have a feature called “sleep mode,” which means the TV is connected but there is no active picture. It can be treated by changing the settings. In general, just press the corresponding button on the remote control.

Damage to capacitors, power supply, microcircuits, and other parts is possible. The problem can only be resolved in a stationary setting at a certified service center. User actions should be limited to turning the receiver on and off from the remote control and the panel.

South Korean manufacturer LG produces models:

1. 42pa4510;
2. ld33b;
3. 42ld650;
4. 42la621v.

Receiver developers have provided a flash coding system. Each type indicates a particular problem in the functioning of the device.

A common cause of difficulty turning on the TV can be overheating. In this case, you just need to turn off the device for a while and then turn it on again.

How to get rid of the problem

Several main approaches to solving the problem should be noted.

1. Check the presence of electric current in the household network. Make sure that power is being supplied properly. If not, take measures to correct the situation.
2. Check the settings, make sure that “sleep mode” is not enabled.
3. Check the functionality of the remote control.

In all other cases, you should contact the service center.

Modern televisions of all types are very complex devices; their manufacturing technologies involve the use of components and functional units that cannot be repaired without the use of special equipment. Employees of service centers that serve customers in a particular area are specially trained to work with certain models. Only they are able to diagnose complex problems and find ways to eliminate them.

Attempts to independently solve problems with the TV are fraught with damage to an expensive product. Often the consequences of such actions cannot be eliminated.
