Is your O andN TV stuck on a red
0:02
blinking light and won't turn on? Don't
0:04
worry, you're not alone. This is one of
0:05
the most common issues. And the good
0:07
news is that most of the time you can
0:09
fix it yourself at home in just a few
0:11
minutes. In this video, I'll show you
0:13
the easiest step-by-step methods to
0:15
bring your TV back to life. No tools or
0:17
risky repairs needed. Let's start with
0:19
the first and simplest fix. Unplug your
0:21
TV from the wall outlet or power strip
0:24
completely and let the power cord rest.
0:26
Now, locate the physical power button
0:28
under your TV. It's usually right below
0:31
the red LED light, either in the center
0:33
or on one of the sides. Once you find
0:35
it, press and hold that button for a
0:37
full minute while the TV is unplugged.
0:39
This drains any leftover static
0:41
electricity from inside the TV's power
0:43
circuits, and that small reset often
0:46
clears out any temporary faults that
0:48
stop it from turning on. After holding
0:50
it for 1 minute, release the button and
0:52
wait another 5 minutes before plugging
0:54
the TV back in. When you do, make sure
0:57
to plug it directly into a wall outlet
0:59
instead of a power strip or surge
1:00
protector. Sometimes those devices
1:02
interfere with power delivery and cause
1:04
the flashing red light issue. Now, use
1:07
the physical power button, not the
1:08
remote, to turn on the TV. If it powers
1:11
up, you're all set. If not, don't worry.
1:13
This next step might do the trick. Next,
1:16
unplug the TV again and disconnect every
1:18
HDMI cable or external device connected
1:21
to it. That includes things like Roku
1:23
sticks, chcast, gaming consoles, or
1:26
sound bars. Once everything's removed,
1:28
plug the TV back into the wall and try
1:30
turning it on again. If the red light
1:31
stops blinking and the TV works, then
1:33
one of your HDMI devices or cables was
1:36
causing the problem. Plug them back in
1:38
one by one to see which one triggers the
1:40
red light again. That's a quick way to
1:42
find the source of the issue. If the
1:44
problem continues, let's check your
1:45
remote control. Remove the batteries.
1:48
Then press and hold the power button on
1:50
the remote for about 30 seconds to
1:52
discharge any remaining power. After
1:54
that, press down every button a few
1:56
times to clear out any dust or stuck
1:58
keys. Sometimes one jammed button can
2:00
block the remote from sending a signal.
2:02
Now, put in brand new batteries, not
2:04
half-used ones, and try turning on the
2:06
TV again. Weak batteries are a sneaky
2:09
cause of power issues and often go
2:10
unnoticed. Now, when you plug the TV
2:12
back in, watch the red light closely. If
2:15
it blinks once and then fades off,
2:17
that's a good sign. It means the TV is
2:19
trying to power on. If it keeps blinking
2:21
rapidly, it might still be stuck in
2:23
protection mode. At this point, try
2:25
pressing the power button on the TV
2:27
itself one more time to confirm. If it
2:29
still doesn't respond, the issue might
2:31
be deeper than what we can fix
2:33
externally. Inside your TV, there are a
2:35
few key components. The main board,
2:37
which controls all functions, and the
2:39
power board, which supplies electricity.
2:41
If either of these fails, you'll often
2:43
see a red blinking light with no power.
2:45
Unfortunately, this means there could be
2:47
a hardware issue that can't be fixed
2:49
without opening the TV. You can find
2:51
replacement parts online on sites like
2:53
eBay, but unless you're familiar with
2:54
electronics repair, I strongly recommend
2:57
contacting a qualified technician. In
2:59
some cases, replacing the main or power
3:01
board might cost nearly as much as a new
3:03
TV, so compare the repair cost before
3:05
deciding. Before we wrap up, here's a
3:07
quick tip to prevent this from happening
3:09
again. Always plug your TV directly into
3:11
a wall outlet. Avoid cheap power strips
3:14
and unplug it during lightning storms.
3:16
These small steps can protect your TV
3:18
from voltage drops and surges that often
3:20
cause these kinds of issues. Hopefully,
3:22

3:25
