Solutions to Hisense TV Issues Indicated by Blinking Codes
In this section, I have given ways to approach and resolve issues that each Hisense TV blinking code indicates.
1 Blink: Turn ON/OFF Hisense TV
As mentioned in the previous section, if your Hisense TV blinks just once, then there isn’t a problem. It is in standby mode for a long time. You just have to power on your Hisense TV or turn it off to get rid of this blinking code. So, pick up the remote control and aim it towards the TV. Then, click the Power button. Otherwise, locate the unit Power button on Hisense TV and press it once to boot up.
If you don’t want to use the TV now, just turn off the power socket switch and turn off the TV to resolve the issue and save some money on your electricity bill.
2 Blinks: Rectify Power Supply Issues
The power supply problem this blinking code indicates is in the ambiance, and that’s why the Hisense TV isn’t turning ON or being on & off. Moreover, if there is power inconsistency, then not just the TV but any device in your home will have functioning problems. So, check whether the other electronic devices, like refrigerators and desktop PC, are working well. If not, call an electrician. Inform them about your issue and get the power supply issue sorted out. Because continuing Hisense TV usage despite blinking code 2 will lead to permanent damages.
Suppose the other devices at your home are working well; then the problem is actually in the power socket your Hisense TV is connected with. It does not transfer the ample power required for TV functioning. Repair the power socket alone, and you are good to go.
6 Blinks: Cool Down Hisense TV
The cooling system is what was affected here and made Hisense TV red light blink 6 times. This is because you have overused your Hisense TV. A simple way to sort this out is by cooling down the TV, and the best way to do this is to rest it.
Go near the power socket to which your Hisense TV is connected. Remove the TV’s power cord from it and leave it non-functioning for about an hour. During this time, your Hisense TV will cool down, and the disruption that occurred on its cooling system will be rectified on its own.
After that, make the connection again and boot up the Hisense TV. By now, you won’t have a flashing red light 6 times.
3, 4, 5, 7/8, 9 & 10 Blinks: Repair the TV
Blinking codes 1, 2, and 6 indicate minor problems on the Hisense TV that DIY troubleshooting methods can easily fix. However, blink codes 3, 4, 5, 7/8, 9 & 10 appear due to damages in various internal hardware components of the TV. These issues require professional handling.
The reason is that there are lots of minute parts that contribute to the functioning of Hisense TV. They have to be handled carefully with technical knowledge. Sometimes, certain components have to be replaced if they are gone, and this is nearly impossible for a common user, considering the availability of tools and replacement products.
So, contact the nearby Hisense brand authorized service center or Hisense TV customer support directly [Email: [email protected] | Phone: +1 (888) 935-8880].
