How to Fix Hisense TV Power Button Not Working
Once you have diagnosed the reason for the issue, you can undergo the troubleshooting process on any Hisense Smart TV model and fix the issues in minutes by yourself.
Inspect the Power Source
Start your troubleshooting process by inspecting the power source. This is because if the power supply fluctuates, your Hisense TV will not turn on. So, test the power source by unplugging your TV’s power cable and plugging it into another power socket. If the TV turns on, then the issue is with the power source. If the issue persists, then move to the next troubleshooting tip.
Verify the Cable Connections
As a secondary method, you need to check the external power cables connected to your respective smart TV. Any damage to the external cables will make the power button unresponsive. So, if you find any torn or burnt marks on the cable, immediately replace the cables with a new one. Also, make sure to attach the cables to the necessary sockets without any loose connection.
Note! You can purchase a new power cable from online e-commerce stores like Amazon.
Check for the Power Button Damage
Sometimes, the power button on your Hisense TV may get stuck. In this case, press the Power button once to release it. After that, you can use the button to turn on your Hisense TV.
In rare scenarios, the power button may be damaged externally with minor cracks. So, inspect the power button carefully and check whether there are any symbols of damage. Moreover, if the power button is damaged internally, then you may feel a loose or wobbly feeling while pressing the button. Once you feel so, contact a technician or visit a nearby television store to repair the damaged power button.
Factory Reset Hisense TV
Performing a factory reset on the Hisense TV is also a major solution to fix the issue. This is because a reset process will clear all the hidden glitches and bugs from the TV, which will improve the TV. However, this process can only be done on a few Hisense TV models. Hisense models running on Roku and Android OS are built with a Reset button to make the process simple and effective. So, locate the reset button on your Hisense TV and press it once using a paper clip or ballpoint pen to undergo the process. After that, click the Power button to power on your smart TV.
Inspect the TV’s Internal Parts
If factory resetting the TV also didn’t help to fix the issue, then there might be any other internal damage. Any damage to the motherboard or a capacitor will break the flow of connectivity to the power button and will indicate a flashing power light. So, make sure to check and replace the damaged internal components as soon as possible. As you may not be well versed with the internal components, contact the support team and replace the damaged parts. After that, connect your TV to the power socket and press the power button to power on the TV.
Reach Out to Hisense Customer Support
As a final solution, you can contact the Hisense TV customer support team to fix the power button issue permanently. Though there are numerous ways to contact the support service, you can reach out through email or phone calls for a fast reply. Moreover, if the damage is severe, you can claim a warranty for your Hisense TV and repair the damage free of cost.
