According to some recent reports, users have had problems with their Samsung TV when it won't turn on and the red light blinks for some time. This problem is generally generated by a bad power supply, but it can also occur in some cases due to a failure in the HDMI link.
What prevents the Samsung TV from turning on?
-
Faulty power supply: in some cases, the TV may have a short circuit in the power supply due to excessive electrical current input. This could have damaged the entire power supply or some components of the power supply., like capacitors, transistors, etc. This is quite common with many electrical components because a power surge can seriously compromise the efficiency and containment of the components..
-
Incorrect startup configuration: furthermore it is feasible that the TV startup settings have been corrupted due to facing this issue when trying to start. The TV stores startup settings to reduce startup time and save certain information while the TV is off. Despite this, if they get corrupted, can prevent them from starting completely. Sometimes, this can also cause an obstacle when the TV does not connect to Wifi.
-
HDMI failure: in some cases, Samsung TV was observed to have boot issues due to user previously using PS4 or Xbox with it. After using the console, you may have turned it off directly without changing the HDMI source and now the console may be preventing the TV from turning on.
-
Surge protector: if you are using a surge protection device with the TV and it is not plugged directly into the outlet, the problem may be in the surge protector. Because in some cases, the surge protector may have worn out over time and may not be supplying enough voltage to the TV to turn it on.
-
Source selection: in some cases, the correct TV source may not be selected due to problems arising during startup. This is a fairly common mistake most users make and prevents the TV from turning on because it cannot properly receive the signal from the source..
1. Identify the problem
It is very important that we first try to identify the problem and isolate the reason behind its appearance. To do this, we will try to do some basic checks to find out if the problem is with the TV hardware or software. For this:
-
With the TV on, check if the standby light located below the bottom right of the TV is on.
-
If so, press the 'Power button’ on the remote control to turn it on and check if the LED is off.
-
If it turns off, means that the TV is properly connected to the power supply.
-
At the same time, make sure the screen is on by tapping the screen with your finger.
-
If the screen flickers, means that the screen also works correctly.
-
If the screen does not flicker or the LED does not turn off, means there is an obstacle with the remote control, the power supply or display is faulty. Plus there is a chance that you may have a black screen on your Samsung TV..
-
You can keep trying to fix your TV with the following methods.
2. Turn the TV off and on
In some cases, corrupt startup settings may prevent the TV from turning on properly. So, in this step, we will turn off and off the TV to completely get rid of the startup settings that the TV will automatically regenerate. For that:
-
Completely unplug the TV from the power and remove the power cord from the outlet.
-
Hold down the & amp; quot; Switched on & amp; quot; button. on the TV for at least 15 seconds.
-
Reconnect the TV and turn it on.
-
Check if the problem persists after turning on the TV.
3. Unplug the extras
It is also possible that the selection of the HDMI source of your television has failed due to problems to turn it on. So, It is recommended to disconnect any device that you have connected to the HDMI slots of your TV. Whether it's your PS4, Xbox, cable box or any other device. Once unplugged, start the TV and see if it started correctly. If so, change your source to HDMI 1 and plug the additional console into the HDMI slot 2. Thereafter, can choose HDMI 2 to enter the console view and remember to switch back to HDMI 1 before turning off the television.
4.Contact customer service
If the above solutions did not solve your problem, most likely hardware. So, It is recommended that you contact Samsung customer service as soon as possible and put the TV into service.. If it's under warranty, you can also file a claim with the Samsung customer service center.
