LG TV Won't Turn On How to Fix It

Here’s a quick guide to LG TV Won't Turn On How to Fix It.

Start with Basic Power Checks

First, verify the most common power-related issues:

• Check that the power cord is securely plugged into both the TV and the wall outlet
• Test the outlet by plugging in another device like a lamp
• If using a surge protector, try plugging the TV directly into the wall outlet
• Make sure any outlet switches are turned on
• Look for visible damage to the power cord or plug

Try a Hard Reset

If basic power checks don't work, perform a hard reset:

1. 1.Unplug the TV from the power outlet
2. 2.Wait at least 60 seconds (some sources recommend leaving it unplugged overnight)
3. 3.Plug the TV back in
4. 4.Try turning it on using the power button on the TV itself

This process can clear temporary glitches and reset the TV's internal systems.

Check Your Remote Control

Sometimes the issue isn't with the TV but with the remote:

• Replace the remote batteries with fresh ones
• Try using the power button directly on the TV
• If you recently purchased a new remote, ensure it's compatible with your TV model
