If your Hisense TV still didn’t turn on, there could be various reasons behind it and I’m going to explain all of them.

Possible reasons why your Hisense TV isn’t turning on

  1. Faulty cables: I know I have talked about this for the above problem but the same principle applies to this one too. Verify If you have any faulty cables especially HDMI as it gets damaged very easily. Replace the faulty cable and your Hisense TV will turn on immediately.

Your router might be having some technical issues and because of that, you aren’t to connect to Wi-Fi.

Restart the router by following the steps which I have given you. If you still can’t connect to Wi-Fi in Hisense TV, it could be because the router might be far away from the TV.

9. Hisense TV Problems Turns off by Itself

This problem is slightly related to the first one but here the reasons are different. Below, I am mentioning the reasons.

First, if there are issues with the power settings then the Hisense TV can turn off itself. To fix this check the TV’s power settings to make sure it is not set to turn off after a certain amount of time.

Next, check if the sleep timer is enabled on the TV. If so then the Hisense TV will turn off automatically. It’s not actually an issue. To fix this just disable it.

If there is any issue with the power supply check the power supply. Issues like loose connections, damaged wires, or faulty sockets can cause this issue.

Finally, overheating or backdated software can cause this issue. To fix the overheating issue, ensure that it has enough ventilation and is not placed near a heat source.

10. Hisense TV Problems with Sound

From Disney plus sound issue to Hisense sound issue, he sound problem is everywhere.

The most common problem is your Hisense TV may not produce any sound at all. This can be due to issues with the speakers, cables, or software. Fix all the issues with the speaker or cable or replace them. Another solution is upgrade the firmware.

Again, the sound may be distorted or crackling, which could be due to issues with the speakers or audio processing. The solution is almost the same as above.

There may be a delay between the video and audio, which can be caused by a variety of factors including the TV’s processing speed, the source device, or the cables used. To fix it try using a different HDMI cable or adjust the audio delay settings on the source device. Also If you’re using a soundbar or external speakers, check their settings for audio delay adjustment.

Before I get into the final words, here’s a guide on how can you jailbreak Hisense smart TV?
