Step 1. Make sure the cable box is on

  • Pay attention to the receiving box. Does the screen show numbers or is it just blank? If the display shows a number, the receiving box may already be lit.
  • Set up the receiving box controller. Sometimes this controller is different from the TV controller.

    On most multi-purpose controllers, you have to press the “All On” button. If the controller can control both the TV and the receiver box, it can power both devices at the same time. If the controller can only control the receiver box, please read the next step

Step 2. Try to find or replace the TV controller

First, try to find the missing TV controller. If you can't find the power button and TV controller, buy a controller that fits your TV. If the TV controller is faulty, follow the guidelines in the Repairing the Remote Control article to fix it.

Tips

  • Don't hit the controller or TV if it doesn't want to turn on.
  • Store TV manuals or other electronics in a safe place. This is done so that you can find them easily if you need to.
