The first thing you should check if your LG TV won’t turn on is the power cord connections and the power switch. If the LG TV won’t turn on, unplug it for thirty seconds, and try again. If the sensors are blocked, make sure they are unblocked, and reset the television by using the remote control that came with it.

These are six techniques by which you can fix your LG TV That Won’t Turn On.

You’ve been pressing the power button on and off for much longer than you’d like to admit, but your LG TV won’t turn on. There is no hope and it is as dead as a doormat, so there is no hope for it.

Spending the entire evening staring at a black screen would be more entertaining than anything else. This article will take you through six quick fixes that will help you fix your LG TV that won’t turn on and get you and your family out of your pain for a few minutes.

 

#1 Check the Connections to fix LG TV not turning on issue.

You must first ensure that everything is set up correctly before watching TV. In order to do this, you will need to look at the cables behind the TV, as well as everything else that the TV is connected to. Be sure to keep an eye out for the following things when inspecting your cables.

• Any exposed wires must be repaired if they are damaged.
• Keep your cables firmly connected to the mains socket and keep cables out of sockets. If you are cleaning or playing with your children, these can easily become loose.

Make sure your mains outlet is electrically tested after you’ve inserted your cables correctly? After removing the TV cable, try plugging in another electrical item and testing it after you’ve unplugged the TV cable. Having done this, you will be able to determine if the mains outlet is functioning properly. If there is a problem with the wiring, you will need to contact an electrician as soon as possible.

Do you have an extension cord plugged into the back of your LG TV? There may be a problem with your LG TV having trouble turning on as a result of having to compete with other electrical devices for power.

Make your LG TV easier to turn on by following these steps.

• If you want to turn on the TV, you should unplug any devices that use a lot of power from the extension cord.
• Turn the TV on by unplugging it from the extension cord and plugging it directly into a wall outlet.

In the case that your LG TV still won’t turn on after testing the cables, then move on to the next fix.

 

#2 Press the Power Switch to fix the LG TV not turning on issue.

There is a possibility that your LG TV is not turning on because your remote control is malfunctioning. It is therefore important to try turning on the TV without using a remote control if you are having problems turning it on.

The button should be in one of these places after turning on the TV with the power switch (not the remote).

• Under the LG logo on the panel.
• On the rear bottom side of LG

In the event that pushing the power switch does not work, we will move on to the next remote control fix.

 

#3 Unblock the sensors to fix LG TV not turning on issue.

Ensure that nothing is blocking the remote control’s sensor before using it to control your TV. The reason for this is that infrared light rays (IR) are used to power the ON/OFF button on the device.

There is usually a sensor located on the bottom corner of the screen of most LG TVs. If you want your remote to work properly, remove anything blocking the panel around the TV screen. When using the remote, be careful not to place your hand over the top.

In the event that you have tried these suggestions and your TV screen still doesn’t respond, try the next remote fix.

 

#4 Reset the Remote to resolve LG TV not turning on problem.

There is one more fix that must be performed in order to ensure that your remote control works properly. In cases where there’s an issue with the remote, it should be reset.

You can do it this way.

1. Remove the batteries from the remote by removing the back panel.
2. The remote control has a power button on it that you should hold down for twenty seconds.
3. Replace the batteries and put back the remote control’s back panel.
4. Ensure that the remote control works with the TV before using it.

 

#5 Unplug the TV to resolve the LG TV not turning on issue.

You may be able to wake your TV from its trance by unplugging and reconnecting it. In the middle of the night, imagine ice-cold water dripping on you.

The power cord of some LG TVs can be detached from the rear panel, and here are some things you can try.

1. Reconnect the detachable power cord after 10 seconds of sitting unplugged.
2. It is necessary to re-plug the power cord into the TV.
3. Try turning the TV on by tapping the power button.

 

#6 Reset the TV to fix the LG TV not turning on issue.

After trying the above fixes but still having problems, you might try resetting the TV.

Manually resetting your LG TV is easy if you follow these steps.

1. It is advisable to unplug the TV from the mains prior to operating it.
2. If you have a remote control, press the power button for thirty seconds on the TV before turning it on.
3. Leave the TV unplugged for two more minutes.
