Attempting to turn on a TV and getting no response from the device doesn’t mean you need to start searching for a new television right away. Some of the most common issues that cause your TV to stop getting power can be resolved with quick troubleshooting and won’t cost a cent!
A Faulty Outlet
One of the first things you should do if your TV refuses to power on is to unplug it and plug it into a different outlet. Older homes and apartments may have loose wiring or burnt-out connections that cause the outlets to no longer function properly. If the outlet you’re trying to use is a GFCI (Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter) outlet and can be reset, try to do so as well.
Loose Connections
Sometimes the loose connections aren’t in the outlet; they’re in the TV. When you move your TV from one room to another, the connections to the circuit boards can jostle out of place. The power cords and HDMI cables also tend to slip when moved around. Ensuring that everything is tightly plugged in and performing a quick check of your device’s inner board connections helps you rule out loose connections as the cause of power failure.
Dead Remote Batteries
Finally, if you’ve tried to turn on your TV with the remote and it hasn’t worked, remember to make sure the remote itself isn’t the issue. Most televisions, including flat screens, have a manual power button somewhere on the device. Using the manual button instead will let you know if the batteries inside of your TV remote simply need to be replaced or not.
One issue that causes your TV to stop getting power and requires a deeper dive into your device is a damaged power supply. Electrical surges and overheating can both cause the circuit board that powers your device to fail. If you troubleshoot all the issues above and still can’t turn on your TV, it’s time to consider visiting a repair shop.
