| No Picture / Black Screen | Verify the correct input source is selected. Check all cable connections (HDMI, AV). Try restarting the TV and any connected devices. |
| No Sound | Increase the volume. Check if the TV is muted. Ensure external audio devices (soundbar, receiver) are properly connected and powered on. Check audio output settings in the TV menu. |
| Remote Control Not Working | Replace the batteries. Ensure there are no obstructions between the remote and the TV's IR sensor. Re-pair the remote if it's a Bluetooth remote. |
