TV Won’t Turn On? Expert Diagnosis and Repair by GossTech

Is your TV refusing to power up? Don’t worry — GossTech is here to help. Whether it’s a blank screen, no power light, or an unresponsive remote, a TV that won’t turn on can be frustrating. Our team of certified technicians specializes in diagnosing and repairing all types of television power issues, from LED and OLED to Smart and Plasma TVs.

In this guide, we explain why your TV may not be turning on, how to troubleshoot common problems, and why GossTech is your trusted partner for fast, affordable, and professional TV repair services.


Common Reasons Your TV Won’t Turn On

Several issues can prevent your television from powering up. These range from simple user errors to complex internal component failures. Here are the most frequent culprits:

1. Power Supply Failure

A faulty power board is one of the most common reasons TVs fail to turn on. Signs include:

  • No power light
  • Clicking noises
  • A quick flash of the screen before going black

At GossTech, we diagnose and replace defective power boards using high-quality components.

2. Faulty Remote or Power Button

Sometimes the issue isn’t the TV — it’s the remote or power button. Try:

  • Using the power button on the TV itself
  • Replacing remote batteries
  • Resetting the remote

If your remote isn’t working even with new batteries, we offer quick replacements and reprogramming.

3. Blown Fuse or Capacitors

TVs contain internal fuses and capacitors that can blow due to power surges or age. Symptoms include:

  • A completely dead TV
  • Burnt smell from the back panel
  • Intermittent power

Our GossTech specialists can safely inspect and replace damaged components.

4. Mainboard or Motherboard Damage

The TV’s motherboard controls its essential functions. If it’s damaged:

  • The TV may power on but not display an image
  • Inputs might not respond
  • The LED indicator may blink abnormally

We perform motherboard repairs or replacements as part of our diagnostic package.

5. Backlight Failure (Especially in LED TVs)

If your screen is black but the sound works, the issue could be the LED backlight. We test and repair:

  • LED strips
  • Backlight inverters
  • Display connectors

How to Troubleshoot a TV That Won’t Turn On (Before You Call Us)

Before booking a service, try these DIY steps:

  1. Unplug and reset – Disconnect the TV for 5–10 minutes, then plug it back in.
  2. Check the outlet – Plug another device into the same socket to confirm power.
  3. Inspect the power cord – Look for any signs of wear or loose connections.
  4. Look for indicator lights – A blinking or off light gives clues to the issue.

Still not working? It’s time to call the professionals.
