If you do, the problem might not recur when it turns on.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400; color: #000000;\">The problem with the TV&#8217;s power source is probably the reason for the blinking light. It&#8217;s conceivable that the power IC has had a problem.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The fact that the TV has been on for a long period is most likely to blame for this.\u00a0 <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The IC heats up when the TV is on for a longer duration, which starts the red light flashing.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400; color: #000000;\">Therefore, you must ensure that the power IC has cooled down in order to resolve this problem.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400; color: #000000;\">Restarting the TV is the most effective way to achieve this. You merely need to unplug the TV&#8217;s power cable and wait for around 10 minutes to accomplish it.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400; color: #000000;\">You must continue holding down the power button on your TV for an additional minute after the 10 minutes are over.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400; color: #000000;\">You just re-insert the power cord after that.
