**Power Source Check:** Verify that the TV is securely plugged into a functioning power outlet. Test the outlet with another device to ensure it's operational.

**Inspect Power Cable:** Examine the power cable for any visible damage or fraying. If found, [replace](https://www.mindstick.com/forum/2310/how-to-replace-character-in-jquery) the cable with a compatible one.

**Power Strip or Surge Protector:** If using a power strip or surge protector, ensure it's functioning correctly. Bypass it temporarily and plug the TV directly into the outlet.
