Verify That The Television is Turned on

Perhaps your Hisense television works properly, but the wall plug is defective. The television will receive minimal to no power and will not turn on.

Follow these steps to determine whether a wall outlet is the source of your problem:

Unplug your TV from the wall outlet.
Verify the functionality of all other devices, especially those that require a higher power supply.
Try plugging your television into multiple outlets.
Remove all power surge protectors and extension cords and plug a known-to-work device into the wall outlet.
Reattach your Hisense television to the wall.
Check if the red power light is illuminated by activating the switch beneath the television and ensuring that the red power light is illuminated.

Replace Your Electrical Cord

If the TV’s power cord is defective, it may receive insufficient or no power. The red power indicator may or may not illuminate depending on how much current it receives.

To determine whether the power cord is defective, perform the following:

Examine the cable to determine whether wires are severed, uncovered, or shorted.
Check the functionality of your Hisense television by borrowing an extension cord from a friend or a repairman.
Determine if the red power indicator comes on at all.
If this step fails, the TV’s firmware or motherboard may be at fault.

Unplug Your Electronic Devices

Certain Hisense television models enter standby mode when there is no input source.

If the device or wires fail, your television may enter standby mode if you use a set-top box, phone, or streaming device. The TV sound may occasionally function properly, but there is no picture.

Here’s how to handle it:

Turn the television on and off to determine if it briefly illuminates before dark.
Check the TV’s input ports to see if others are functional.
Connect other devices using the same cable, such as the decoder, phone, or streaming box.
Change the cables, such as VGA, HDMI, or RCA, that you are using.

See if The TV’s Backlight is On or Not

Although your television cannot display images, the sound and red power lights are operational. A short in the circuitry of the mainboard or power board can cause LED backlights to fail.

Here is what you ought to do:

Focus a flashlight on the television after turning it on.
Determine whether there are any visible images or text displayed. The backlight circuit is likely defective if you can see characters or images.
Repeat the preceding steps to reset the brightness settings to factory defaults and check if this works.

If the LED backlights are defective, a repairman can replace them.

Eliminating All Network Devices

Your Hisense smart TV may flash red or blue between 2 and 6 times, but the display will not turn on.

This issue could be caused by a poor connection with your modem or router, a power deflection issue, or a faulty motherboard in your television.

Try resetting your modem first.
As in the initial step, unplug your device to determine if this resolves the issue.

Hardware Issues

Here are some frequent hardware issues that may necessitate device replacement:

If the red power light flashes when you press the power button on your Hisense, the power board is defective and must be replaced.
If the power button remains red and does not blink when pressed, the issue is with the motherboard.
If you unplugged your television while it was on and it would not turn back on, you likely blew the main fuse, which must be replaced.
The circuit board may need to be replaced if your Hisense television has a flickering screen, a screen image that disappears after a few seconds, a dim screen, or a slow startup.
