0:24
that worked for you drop it in the
0:25
comments I'd love to hear from you Let's
0:28
jump into the first fix a soft reset
0:30
also known as power cycling Start by
0:33
unplugging your TCL TV from the wall
0:35
outlet and wait for a full 60 seconds
0:38
Don't skip or rush this step It's
0:40
crucial While the TV is unplugged press
0:42
and hold the power button on the TV
0:44
itself not the remote for 15 to 30
0:47
seconds This helps drain any residual
0:49
power stored in the TV's circuits After
0:52
waiting the full minute plug it back in
0:54
and try turning it on This simple reset
0:57
clears out temporary glitches and often
0:59
solves the problem entirely Now let's
1:01
check your remote Remove the batteries
1:02
and press and hold the power button for
1:04
about 15 seconds Then insert fresh
1:06
batteries preferably new ones and try
1:09
powering on the TV again It's easy to
1:11
overlook but a remote with dead
1:13
batteries or a stuck power button can
1:15
stop your TV from responding Don't rely
1:18
just on the remote though Go to the TV
1:20
and press the physical power button If
1:22
the TV turns on this way you found your
1:24
issue the remote's the problem Next up
1:27
take a look at your power source Double
1:29
check that the power cable is securely
1:31
connected to both your TV and the outlet
1:33
If the connection feels loose fix that
1:35
first Still not working try plugging the
1:38
TV into a different outlet ideally in a
1:41
different room to eliminate any outlet
1:43
related problems Also skip surge
1:45
protectors or smart plugs for now Plug
1:48
your TV directly into the wall outlet
1:50
These extras can sometimes interfere
1:52
with power delivery especially when
1:54
troubleshooting While you're at it
1:56
inspect the power cord If you see any
1:58
cuts fraying or signs of wear it might
2:01
be the cause Swap it out with a
2:02
compatible one if you have a spare Also
2:04
check the power port on your TV for dust
2:06
or corrosion A clean secure power
2:09
connection makes all the difference Now
2:11
unplug every HDMI and USB device
2:13
connected to your TV Sometimes a bad
2:15
cable or malfunctioning device can
2:17
interfere with startup With everything
2:19
unplugged try turning the TV on using
2:21
the power button on the TV itself If it
2:23
powers on this way start reconnecting
2:25
your devices one by one When the issue
2:27
returns you'll know which device is to
2:29
blame Finally if the standby light is on
2:32
but your screen stays black the issue
2:34
might be internal Shine a flashlight at
2:36
the screen from a close angle If you
2:38
spot faint images or movement your TV is
2:41
actually on but the backlight isn't
2:43
working In that case problem might be
2:45
with the backlight or another internal
2:46
component That's it for this video on
2:49
how to fix your TCL TV when it won't
2:51
turn on I hope one of these steps helped
2:53
