The Number 1 Proven Fix!"},"content":{"rendered":"\n
Samsung is recognized worldwide as the leading maker of TVs, famed for their outstanding picture quality and adaptability. They’re peerless in the competition.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
But as the old saying goes, even the best can sometimes stumble.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
First thing I do when I walk through my door is fire up my Samsung TV. So you can imagine the mini heart attack I had when I hit the power button on the remote, only to be greeted by a screen as black as night – my Samsung TV, for some reason, wasn’t switching on!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Luckily, I managed to figure it out and breathe life back into it. So now, I’m going to give you the rundown on the solutions that worked for me when my Samsung TV didn’t want to play ball<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The Clever Fix<\/strong> There are a bunch of potential culprits when your Samsung TV refuses to boot up. It could be an issue with the cables, remote, outlet, or even the TV itself.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n You might be dealing with power cords and cables that have taken a few too many hits or have gotten loose over time. Similarly, the batteries in your remote might be running on fumes, or a button could be jammed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Perhaps, it’s the power outlet that your Samsung TV is connected to that’s giving you a headache. Or maybe, your Samsung TV might be grappling with software glitches or some internal damage.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Your first detective move should be to check out the red standby LED light on your Samsung TV.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Usually, this red standby LED light is on when the TV is off, and it goes dark when you’re watching your favorite show.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Depending on your TV model, this red light could either be upfront or tucked away in the bottom right corner of your TV.<\/p>\n\n\n\n If it’s upfront, you should be able to spot it right away. But if it’s hidden in the bottom right corner, you might need a little help from a mirror or your smartphone to check if the light is on.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Initiate a power cycle by unplugging the TV from the power socket and leaving it unplugged for a solid minute. After that, long press the TV’s power button for 30 seconds. Give it another minute of downtime before plugging it back in.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\nWhy is my Samsung TV not turning on?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
