on your Sony tv and how you can use this light to diagnose the state of your tv

if your Sony tv is plugged in and getting power even when it's not turned

on you should see a red led light to indicate that the tv is in standby mode

if you do not see a red or green light on the tv

check to make certain that the tv power cord is plugged in firmly into the back of the tv

check the other end of the cord to make sure that it is plugged into a working outlet

if your tv is plugged into a power strip

make sure that the power strip itself is turned on

or try plugging the tv directly into a wall outlet

many Bravia tvs also have a power cut off switch on one side which

turns the power off completely

make sure that this power switch is set to on

and then turn on the tv with the supplied remote

when you press the power button on your Bravia tv remote control

the led should change from red to green to show that the tv is on and working

if the power button on your tv remote does not work to turn the tv on

try turning the tv on with the built-in power button

the built-in power button can be found on the side bottom or top of the tv

depending on the model

if the tv powers on with the built-in power button

then try changing the batteries on your remote control

or move any items from in front of the tv which might block the remote signal

if the power light has still not changed from red to green when you attempt to

power it on

and the tv is connected to the internet

it is possible that an update is being installed to the tv

via the internet connection

wait for five to ten minutes and then try turning the tv on again

on some models the power led will change to orange or yellow while the

tv is installing an update

if your tvs power led will not turn green but instead consistently

stays red while flashing off and on

unplug the tv from an electrical outlet

and disconnect any equipment connected to it

leave it off for about five minutes

then before connecting any other equipment

plug the power cord back in

you should now be able to turn your tv on

now if you are still seeing a red flashing light and the tv will not

power on we need to do a factory reset

point the remote control at the front of the tv and hold down the up arrow

button on the remote

while holding down the up arrow button press and release the power button on your tv

this resets your tv to factory settings

you should now be able to turn on your tv
