Troubleshooting your Totevision television when it won't power up

• Check that the television power cord is fully plugged into the wall outlet. If you have the television plugged into a surge protector, make sure the surge protector is plugged into the wall outlet.
• Check the electrical wall outlet for power. Plug a night light or small appliance into the electrical wall outlet to see if the outlet has power. If the outlet is dead, reset the house circuit breaker for the electrical wall outlet.
• If the wall outlet is okay and you have the television plugged into a surge protector, reset the surge protector if the surge protector tripped. If the surge protector isn't tripped, plug the television directly into the wall outlet. If the television powers up when plugged directly into the wall outlet, replace the surge protector because it isn't allowing the television to get power.

Maintenance and cleaning tips for your Totevision television
