Toshiba has been a mainstay in consumer electronics for a long time and has a formidable presence in the market. Anyone who knows me knows Samsung is one of my favorite TV manufacturers currently. However, if any company were to hold a candle to Samsung’s smart LED lineup, it would be Toshiba, particularly its Fire TV lineup.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Sometime ago, I wrote about common fixes for Toshiba lines on screen<\/a>. I’ll be doing something similar this time. Have you ever called in sick to tune in to your favorite show in the morning, but your Toshiba TV won’t turn on? Nothing ruins the day quicker than a broken TV set. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Whether your Toshiba TV is running on Amazon’s Fire OS or Android 9.0, all operating systems can become riddled with annoyances like bugs and glitches. One such problem rears its ugly head in the form of your TV set’s complete disobedience to turn on, but don’t worry. I’ve personally scoured the internet for Toshiba TV troubleshooting tips and tried them out on my set to verify their efficiency.<\/p>\n\n\n\n If your Toshiba TV won’t turn on, the first thing to do is check for hardware and cable damage. Then, you can check for a software update in case the OS is riddled with bugs. Alternatively, you can perform a power cycle for the remote and TV. You can try booting the system to the latest firmware. If all else fails, there’s always the trusty factory reset option.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Today, I will explain in detail what you can do if your Toshiba TV won’t turn on, expanding on the above mentioned solutions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n If you’ve run into this dreaded situation, the first thing you’re bound to think is, “why is my Toshiba TV not turning on?” The first thing to do is inspect the hardware and cables. These are your television set’s lifelines and ensure the proper functioning of electronic devices. They need to be in pristine condition to continue functioning optimally. <\/p>\n\n\n\n First, ensure the cables are plugged into the designated ports properly. You can refer to the user manual <\/a>to verify which cable goes into which port, even if you’re sure of the connections. Carefully inspect the HDMI cable, ensuring it’s plugged in properly and not showing any loose movements near the port. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Since cable design follows a TV’s specifications, using third-party cables can spell trouble for your device if the specifications don’t match or there are compatibility issues. Therefore, always ensure you’re using the cables Toshiba provides, and contact their customer service department to replace worn-out ones. <\/p>\n\n\n\n If the cables aren’t the source of your misery, move on to the hardware. Although TVs typically last several years without suffering from hardware failure, component degradation is inevitable. Your Toshiba TV won’t power on if its internal components are damaged and causing issues with the device’s system. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Hardware issues are particularly persistent in smart TV sets like the Toshiba Fire TV. If you’re facing Toshiba Fire TV not turning on issues, move the device to a well-ventilated room and keep the hardware free from dust and liquids. Thermal throttling chances in these TV sets are high due to the added smart components and since dust settles inside the device over time. This can cause the television to heat up, triggering the safety mechanism that shuts it down till the device naturally cools down.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Thermal throttling<\/a> happens when the chip that controls the various functions of your TV gets too hot to function. To prevent long-term damage to the CPU, the system draws back on some of its power to help the chip cool down. This ensures that the chip does not overheat.<\/p>\n\n\n\n However, if the chip gets too hot to even operate, the system will not turn on, and this could be one of the reasons your Toshiba TV won’t turn on. This is basically a built-in safety mechanism, as the chip can cause a fire or can even explode if it gets too hot.<\/p>\n\n\n\n In such situations, wait things out and let the TV do its thing. Clean the ports and identify the cause of hardware issues that might have contributed to thermal throttling, and wait until your television set can be booted back safely – this usually takes a few minutes. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Furthermore, port inspection is essential as these feeble parts can easily be damaged from mishandling cables and cords. Damaged ports tend to hamper the proper functioning of appliances, so it’s best to contact customer support to request replacements.<\/p>\n\n\n\nToshiba TV Won’t Turn On Solutions<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n
