5. Troubleshooting

If you encounter issues with your TV, refer to the following common problems and solutions:

• No Power: Ensure the power cable is securely connected to both the TV and a working electrical outlet. Test the outlet with another device.
• No Picture/Sound: Verify that the correct input source is selected. Check all cable connections (HDMI, component, etc.) for looseness or damage.
• TV Turns Off Unexpectedly: Check the TV's power saving settings (e.g., Eco Sensor, auto-off timer) in the system menu. Disable any settings that might be causing the TV to power down automatically.
• Wi-Fi Connection Issues: Ensure your Wi-Fi password is entered correctly. Some older TV models may have limitations on Wi-Fi password length; if your password is very long, try a shorter, strong password on your router if possible, or connect via Ethernet. Restart your router and the TV.
• Remote Control Not Working: Replace the batteries in the remote control. Ensure there are no obstructions between the remote and the TV's sensor.
