But what about the things that you can do, what are they? Don’t worry, because here in this article we are going to explain some basic troubleshooting that you can do yourself if the Samsung TV won’t turn On.

How to fix Samsung TV won’t turn ON

The first step in resolving this issue is to check whether the Standby LED is ON on your Samsung TV. The Standby LED will be usually located at the center of the bottom bezel. Depending on whether it is ON or OFF, the steps here will vary.

If the Stand by LED is OFF

In case the standby LED is turned off, you have to make sure that there are no issues with the power line.

Note: Make sure that there are no damages to the Cables; if there are any, proceed with extreme caution to prevent electric shock. If you have a rubber glove or Personal Protective Equipment, use them.

1. First, make sure that the power cable is correctly plugged into the socket on your wall. You can remove the plug from the socket and re-insert it. Now turn on the switch.
2. Secondly, you have to make sure that the other end of the cable is properly plugged in into the TV. You can also remove it and re-insert it again.
3. Still, if you are not getting any power light on the LED then, try changing to a different socket because the socket might have some problems or loose connections.

If the Standby LED is ON

But if the standby LED is On, it means that the TV is getting proper power and you don’t have to worry about the power cables or sockets.

1. Now Turn ON your TV using the remote’s power button.
2. If the TV does not respond to that, the batteries on the TV remote might have depleted and need a replacement.
3. Replace the batteries in the remote with a new pair and check if you can turn your TV on.
4. If the TV still doesn’t turn ON, try turning it ON using the power button. If the TV turns on, then the remote seems to be faulty, and you have to replace the remote.

The TV turns on, but there is a black screen

Sometimes, the TV will turn on but only display a black screen. Most of the time, this issue will be the devices you have connected to your TV—for instance, a BlueRay player, or TV stick, etc.

To check this issue:

1. Remove any external devices connected to your TV and turn it OFF, then ON.
2. If your TV turns on and shows the default screen on your TV, then chances are the device that you plugged in previously is not functioning properly.
3. Try changing the device or contacting appropriate support for the device you are trying to plug in and use.

The LED light is flashing in RED color

A flashing light usually means that there is some issue with the power or the internal components of the device. If you are sure that there are no issues with the power or you have changed the surge -protector or the wall socket, then you can conclude that the issue lies within the internal components.

Now it is time to contact Samsung support. As you know, fixing the internal components is not something you should be doing by yourself. Even if you are professional, you may end up losing the warranty on your Samsung TV by doing so. So the best bet is to contact Samsung support and get the issue resolved while it is under warranty. If it is not under warranty, then you can definitely try out some authorized service centers that can do the service under some reasonable charges.

Conclusion

As you can see, these were some solutions that you can try yourself if your Samsung TV doesn’t turn ON. If you see, these are very easy steps that you have to make sure are correct from your end before you contact Samsung support. However, some of these steps did work for a bunch of people, but that doesn’t mean that they can be applicable to every situation. Hence we suggest you contact Samsung support if the steps we mentioned did not do the trick.
