Samsung electronic products are generally regarded as high quality and reliable, and the Samsung TV is not an exception. Still, as with any other electronics, there may be times when they develop faults that require fixing. An example is your Samsung TV red light blinking 6 times, with the TV refusing to come on.

This is an issue no TV owner wants to have to deal with. It is a fairly common issue and can be very frustrating. Fortunately, we are right here to help you diagnose the issue, and hopefully, come up with working fixes.

Samsung TV Red Light Blinking 6 Times? What Causes the Problem

First things first – what causes your Samsung TV red light blinking 6 times without the TV coming on? Since this flickering is not indicative of a particular issue, let us run through the possible sources of this problem.

• Power supply board:  If your Samsung TV keeps blinking without turning on, chances are that your power board may be faulty. A bad power supply board could be a result of the excessive inflow of electric current. If this is the case, you will need to take your Samsung TV to a verified technician to have it looked at.
• HDMI glitch: If your Samsung TV is an older model, then the problem may be from HDMI connections to a console or other devices. Simply unplugging all the connections to the TV and turning the TV back on will be adequate to fix the issue, if this is the case.
• Wrong source selection: Sometimes, the fault may be from selecting an incorrect source from the TV. As a result, your TV may not be able to receive the signal it needs to launch.
• LED backlighting issues: This is also a fairly common cause for the Samsung TV red light blinking 6 times. The LED backlight developing issues can result in your TV not coming on, with flickering light.
