• No Picture/Sound:
  Verify that the correct input source is selected. Check all cable connections (HDMI, antenna). If using an external device, ensure it is powered on and functioning correctly. For broadcast channels, perform a channel scan.
• Remote Control Not Working:
  Check the batteries in the remote control and replace them if necessary. Ensure there are no obstructions between the remote and the TV's IR sensor.
• Network/Internet Connection Issues:
  Ensure your Wi-Fi router is on and working. Reconnect to the Wi-Fi network in the TV's settings. If using an Ethernet cable, ensure it is properly connected. Restart your router and the TV.
• Smart TV Apps Not Loading/Crashing:
  Ensure the TV's software is up to date. Clear the cache for the problematic app in the TV's application settings. If the issue persists, try uninstalling and reinstalling the app.
• Picture Quality Issues:
  Adjust picture settings (brightness, contrast, sharpness, color) in the TV menu. Ensure the input source is providing a high-quality signal.
