A Smart TV is not like a regular TV. One of its key features includes internet connectivity and access to apps, music, and movies among others through Wi-Fi or Ethernet cable connection.It can be frustrating when your Samsung TV won’t turn on, especially if there is no red light to indicate that the TV is receiving power.
This problem can have a number of potential causes, ranging from a simple power issue to a more serious hardware problem. We have covered troubleshooting tips and techniques for resolving the issue. We will also discuss some of the potential causes of this issue and how to prevent it from happening in the future.
Troubleshooting Samsung TV Won’t Turn On Red Light?
To start, check if the power cord is plugged in and that the TV is turned on with an AC adapter or a power strip. If this is not the case and you still have no red light, perform a bunch of other tests until you find out what’s wrong with the TV’s power circuit or its connections.
The simple tips would be:
1. Make sure the TV is properly turned on.
A Samsung TV turns on if you press the Power or Power button on the Samsung remote control or if you turn it on manually with a power button.
If you don’t hear the sound of the TV turning on, check your connections and make sure all cables are plugged in properly (for instance, check to make sure that any RCA cables are connected to “Video” ports and any HDMI cables are connected to an HDMI port).
2. Check if the TV has a blown fuse.
If you see no red light, it is possible that the TV has an electrical problem (usually with its power supply). Many Samsung TVs have multiple power supply types and one with a blown fuse.
3. Remember, the power cord of the tv must be properly plugged in.
There can be a problem with the power cord if you see no red light. Samsung TVs have an AC input jack for their power cords so you can easily check if the TV is plugged into an outlet and if it has power.
Just plug another device into your TV’s AC input on the back of your TV and see if it works. If you still have no red light and something else does, the problem is probably with your power cord and not with the wires behind it.
4. Try resetting your Samsung TV.
A simple process would be resetting your TV. Reset your TV and wait for some time until it’s turned on.
Here are the steps:
- Try to disconnect your TV from the power source it has. Pull the cord out from its outlet. If the cord is connected to the wall socket pull it out.
- Wait for some seconds say 30, and then reinsert the cord.
- Click on the power button of your remote and hold it until a “Samsung Electronics” message appears on your screen.
5. Broken Cables
Make sure that the Cables are plugged in with your television and wall socket/outlets. Are in good condition. If broken or torn,
not only it will stop your TV from working but also can cause a short circuit. To avoid such, use a solid and perfect cable. Keep it free from rats, cockroaches, and others who might tear your cable.
6. A different power outlet
Unplug the cord of the TV from the outlet and wait for 60 secs. Move the cord to a different outlet and the TV will now turn back on.
If your charger is not working then remove all the devices from the outlet. Plug the charger to an outlet that is good and perfect.
If you have a Samsung TV and it has a “no red light” problem, don’t panic! Here are the steps on how to fix it:
- Check that your TV is plugged in and the power cord is working by plugging any other TV into the same outlet.
- If the new TV turns on, then unplug your current one from the power source for a few minutes before plugging it back in.
- Make sure your TV has a red light on the front. If it does, keep reading.
- If not, check out the next tips for more troubleshooting steps.
- If you can see a red glow from the TV’s back panel (it can vary depending on which model of Samsung TV you have), then it may be that the capacitors in your TV are shot and need to be replaced.
- In this situation, replace the motherboard of your TV. But, relying on your location, it sometimes may be too expensive to fix.
- If you can’t see any red light in the rear panel, then check the power switch and confirm that it is on.
- If it is on, and still no red light appears, then there might be a fault with your power supply board.
- You will need to send in your TV for repair or replacement of this board.
- If you see a red light, go and check the T-CON board.
- To do this, you will need to unscrew the back of your TV and remove 4 screws from the panel that covers the T-CON board.
- Once this is done, carefully pry up on one end of the panel with a small flat head screwdriver and flip it over.
- Next, unplug all wires from the back of the T-CON board by gently pulling each one out with your fingers.
