Short-lived Issues on Hisense TV
If you see a white screen on your Hisense TV with no picture, then you don’t have to panic all of a sudden. Mostly, it shows up because your Hisense TV is troubled by temporary bugs or glitches. Otherwise, there are some sort of errors in the TV connections. Some basic troubleshooting methods will help you out this rapidly.
Solution
The foremost troubleshooting method for Hisense TV’s white screen is restarting. Since you are unable to access the on-screen options in this situation, you can’t restart your Hisense TV from Settings. So, locate the Power button on your Hisense TV unit and press and hold it for about 15 seconds to restart.
If you have the Hisense Roku TV, click on the Asterisk (*) button 4 times and the audio guide option will be enabled. Using this, manage to hover through Settings → System → Power options and select System Restart to reboot it.
After the restart, turn on your Hisense TV, and you can most probably see the white screen issue sorted out. If you are still having the problem, check your TV connection. If it is loose, tighten it and also ensure the TV wire is in good condition. Repair or replace the cord if it is damaged. After that, power cycle your Hisense TV, which will work like a wonder in resolving the white screen issues in most sceneries. To do so, remove the TV cord from the power socket and stay idle for about 15 minutes. After that, make the connection once again and see if there is any change. If so, you are lucky enough to be able to start using your Hisense TV like before.
Otherwise, you have to take a look at the upcoming troubleshooting methods.
Screen Damage
After you have failed to recover your Hisense TV using the previous troubleshooting method, then you should check the display now, especially when the white screen is partially or spread over here and there. Because this is an indication that your Hisense TV screen is damaged.
Solution
Get near the Hisense TV screen and carefully inspect all over the surface. See whether you can notice a crack, dead pixel, or impact mark. If there is anything like that, then take your TV to a nearby service center for repair. Otherwise, contact the Hisense TV support service. They’ll provide assistance to take your TV for repair at their place or instructions on how to mail it. The professionals over there will analyze the TV and take necessary actions to mend the screen damage. If the damage is severe, you might have to do your Hisense TV screen replacement. Be it repair or replacement, you will be informed about that and the respective charges. The cost of repairing the Hisense TV display is around $100 to $200. For screen replacement, you have to spend around $100 to $1000. After your screen is fixed, you won’t have a white screen issue anymore on Hisense TV.
Screensaver Image Set on TV
If there is no damage to your Hisense TV screen, then you should get involved in some detailed analysis to find out why you have a white screen. For example, if you have a white screen occasionally, especially when the TV falls into sleep mode, then actually, the screensaver of your Hisense TV is the culprit. It must be set in white, and you might be assuming it is an issue.
Solution
If you are suspicious about your screensaver, press any button on your remote control when you have a white screen and see whether the TV screen is in a normal state. If yes, then you have to change the screensaver of your Hisense TV from the Settings menu. Better choose a colorful image instead of choosing a white-themed screensaver to resolve this confusion. There is a very low possibility for this scenario to happen, yet I’m informing you about this so that you won’t be tricked.
Problems in Connected Devices
Most of you won’t be thinking about this factor, but I suggest you do. You might be using an external device, like a streaming stick, DVD player, or set-top box with your Hisense TV. This device might be having any issue, either in its connection, wires, or hardware and you think your Hisense TV has become faulty because of this.
Solution
Remove the external device connected to your Hisense TV. Suppose there are no white screen occurrences now, then make the connection firmly and try accessing the device. If the problem prevails again, then check the wires and repair the damages or insulation damage, if any. If everything is fine, power cycle your external device the same way you did for your Hisense TV, and you will most probably get rid of the issue by now.
App Issues
Note whether you encounter a white screen while streaming or trying to use any app. If it is so, then you have to step up to troubleshoot the problematic app. The problem is not with your Hisense TV here.
Solution
First, try to exit from the particular app, which shows a white screen. If you are able to do so, then go to the app store & update the app on your Hisense TV.
Because an outdated app is viable enough to attract problematic agents and cause such issues. If updating doesn’t help, delete the app from Hisense TV. Because the current app version is surely corrupted. So, remove it and download the app’s latest version. If it is a sideloaded app, obtain its source file from a reliable source online and install it. By accessing this new version of the app, you won’t have a white screen on Hisense TV anymore.
Software Errors on Hisense TV
In case your Hisense TV has a white screen but emits sound, then cache and glitches are responsible for it. In some extreme conditions, software errors might have occurred, or even your TV might be affected by malware.
Solution
If the white screen is in just one part of the TV display or id it is quite manageable, try hard to navigate to the Settings option should clear the cache on Hisense TV. After that, perform a restart and see if it has restored normalcy. If there is no improvement, go to the Firmware upgrade option on Settings and update the Hisense TV firmware in the same manner you cleared the cache files.
If you are completely unable to use the options, then there is only one thing you can do from your side, i.e., reset your Hisense TV. Unfortunately, in the scenario of having a white screen, you can factory reset using the Reset button only using the Reset button present on Hisense TV with the Android & Roku OS only. If you are lucky enough to have any of these TV models, perform a Hisense TV reset and bring everything back to normal.
When you are unable to access your Hisense TV options or use the Reset button, then you are left with no other option but to proceed to the upcoming solution.
Defects in Internal Parts
If you are unable to solve the white screen issue of your Hisense TV, then it is sure that there is damage to its interior components. Either the T-con board or its ribbon is damaged. Otherwise, the backlight or the whole motherboard might have gone off. If such is your Hisense TV’s condition, then it is tough even to recognize which part is actually faulty with your meager knowledge of Hisense TV hardware.
Solution
After draining all of your energy with the previously mentioned practices, it’s time to reach out for professional help. Bring your TV to the observation of Hisense TV support team professionals or the service center people near your place. They’ll diagnose the exact part that is impaired and do what is necessary to repair or replace it. The repair and replacement cost varies for each region. If you have an active warranty for your Hisense TV, claim it and cut down the service charge of a part or completely.
After the service, your Hisense TV will stream well without annoying you by showing white patches or lines on its screen.
