Sometimes the TV defies us and does not turn on when we press the On button. In these cases, forget about tapping, the solution is usually quite simple and does not require violence. I’ll tell you how I managed to restore it and turn it on again after a blackout.
Of course, first of all you have to take into account a couple of logical considerations:
- Is the TV properly connected to power? Maybe it could be a connection problem, that the cable, plug or strip is not properly connected to the current. Make sure and try to turn it on again.
- Is the TV connected by original cable? If you have recently changed the cable used an incompatible model may be receiving less voltage than necessary or simply causing erratic behavior.
Method 1: Unplug and keep your TV off for 15 seconds
That your TV does not turn on does not mean that it has died. In most cases you are just having software issues, incompatibilities, or require a restore.
Method one is as simple as turning off and on again. Sometimes the TV has been blocked for some reason and just by disconnecting it from the power, waiting a few seconds and trying again, the panel will turn on as usual.
To make sure it’s getting power pay attention to the power LED light that Xiaomi televisions usually have in the lower center margin, next to the company logo. For this reason it is so important not to disable this functionality.
If the failure is due to a software problem because maybe it was in the middle of an update process and the power went out or because you did a wrong shutdown, try this feature. The purpose of resetting a television is to stop cold all the processes that are being carried out within the system and may be causing erratic behavior.
By forcing this reboot, the TV will be disconnected from the network and all applications will be closed, the cache will be cleared and the Android system will perform a “clean” boot again. This is one of the most common and most useful solutions when the TV either won’t turn on or won’t turn off because the image is completely frozen.
Sometimes the error poses an inverse question: suppose that your TV already turns on but does not turn off as usual when you press the off button on the remote control. This is almost always due to a pending update of the operating system. To ensure the device updates and shuts down properly We recommend that you carry out the same process that you would do with a computer: restart.
You will find this function within the system settings —within the ‘Device and software’ section on FireTVs such as the Xiaomi TV F2—. Once you have restarted, try to make a new on and off, to verify that everything goes correctly.
