Follow these basic troubleshooting steps:
-
Check Power:
- Ensure the TV is plugged into a working outlet.
- Press the power button on the TV itself (not just the remote) to see if it turns on.
- Look for a power light on the TV (usually red or green) – is it on?
-
Remote Control:
- Test the remote by pressing multiple buttons
- Replace batteries if the remote doesn’t work (contact staff for replacements if needed).
-
Cables:
- Check that all cables (HDMI, coaxial, power) are securely plugged into the TV and any set-top box (like DirecTV).
- If a cable looks loose, push it in firmly.
-
Input/Source:
- Press the “Input,” “Source,” or “TV/AV” button on the remote or TV to ensure it’s on the correct input (e.g., HDMI1 for DirecTV).
- Cycle through all inputs to test.
-
For DirecTV

- Turn the DirecTV box off then on again
- If the issue is affecting multiple T.V’s it may be weather related
-
For ReachTV
