If you’re able to turn your TV on, but the screen is black, you can try troubleshooting the problem. For example, you can:
- Unplug the TV.
- Assess the TV’s backlight.
- Turn the power off and back on.
- Check all of the connections, cables and cords (like the HDMI cable).
If you can’t fix the TV on your own, hire a technician to examine and repair it.
