Is it cannot turn on the the TV screen?
If yes, find the power/reset button behind your tv screen, normally it doesn’t look like a power on button.
Hold it for a while see whether can turn on tv screen.

If not you can dump it at electronic waste bin if you don’t know how to repair. It can be found in many places.

If you know how to repair, check whether the fuse has already blown. You need to open up the rear panel.

You are very rich…. Big Grin

Most of the times electronic failure is 1 or 2 resistors damage nia… check for any burnt mark using magnifying glass. If you have thermal scan, more easy to check for component failure. It can be replaced. Aliexpress/Tao Bao can buy the component you want.

Once you go black, you can't turn back (on).

Sometimes it's due to a spoilt capacitor. If you're able to open it up and check then do so..

No point getting repairman to come as the charges are quite high.

In this kind of situation, should approach Warren Buffet's local relative for money-saving advice.

Now default is android TV.
But the TV sound is not as good as Andriod box.
Make sure buy the TV with android 10 OS and come with 16GB internal memory.

List FOC on carousell. Those who know how to fix will take it off your hands can try their luck since it’s free. They just arrange their own transportation.
