Hisense TV Blinking Codes (Flashing Red light Fixed)

If you have a Hisense TV, you may have experienced one of its blinking lights.

But did you know that these blinks have codes that can help you identify what the issue might be and how to resolve it quickly and easily?

Well, in this article, I will walk you through the most common Hisense TV blinking codes, so you can quickly identify and resolve your television issues with ease.

Hisense TV blink codes concept

Like other TV brands, Hisense also has indicator codes that can help you understand what is happening with your TV.

Your TV will display these codes when it encounters a problem that prevents it from operating correctly. There are many indicator codes, but some of the most significant are:

• The red light blinking 2 times
• The red light blinking 3 times
• The red light blinking 6 times
• The red light blinking 10 times
• And many more…

Now that you are familiar with the blinking codes on a Hisense TV, lets talk about their meaning and indications.

If the red light blinks 2, 3, or 5 times, it indicates an issue with the backlight, mainboard, inverter, or power board. On the other hand, if the TV’s red light blinks 4 or 10 times, the problem is most likely with the main logic board or inverter board wires.

Fixing the Hisense TV blinking codes (Red Light)

In short: To troubleshoot this blinking red light issue on your Hisense TV, disconnect the TV from the power outlet and then hold the power button for 30 seconds. This will reload all the firmware files within the TV and hopefully solve the problem.

There is no need to know exactly how many times the red light flashes. Follow the steps below to solve the problem.

Step 1: Power reboot your TV

Before doing anything else, do a cool reboot. I know you have already done this too many times. But, this time, we will do it slightly differently.

Here’s how:

• Disconnect the TV from the power source completely.
• Keep it unplugged for 60 seconds.
• While the TV is unplugged, press and hold the power button for about 30 seconds.
• Once done, plug the TV back in.

Do this at least 5 times. Sometimes, the first and second attempts don’t work, but the fourth try may be successful. Who knows, this could also be the case for you too?

Step 2: Factory reset the TV

If power rebooting doesn’t solve the issue, a factory reset might do.

This will permanently remove all of your customized settings and apps you installed and restore the firmware to the default state.

Here’s how to do this:

• First, disconnect the TV from the power outlet and any additional wires that are attached to it.
  
• After that, press and hold the reset button for around 30 seconds.
• During this time, plug the TV back in. (Still holding the reset button)

Once complete, release the button and wait a few minutes. If the reset is successful, the TV will automatically reboot a few times and then boot up again with the set-up screen.

Remember to check the power outlet or surge protector. Because insufficient electricity flow could also be the cause of this problem.

Step 3: Check for damage on the motherboard

If the problem persists after the reset, your TV’s motherboard has been damaged, or some component or other may have burned out. It can happen sometimes if the TV receives an excessive amount of electricity.

However, if you understand how electronic components function and what they should look like, you can open up the TV to check if any of the components has burned out.

If you have any doubts, hand over it to an experienced repairer. Don’t do anything you don’t want to do. The best option is to deliver it to Hisense for repair. After all, who knows their television better than they do?

Step 3: Consider submitting a warranty claim

The worst part about this problem is that a replacement mainboard for a Hisense TV is difficult to come by. Most of the time, the only option is to replace the TV entirely.

The good news is that your warranty may cover this. Ensure the term is still valid before claiming a new television.

Before accepting your claim, Hisense will check the TV to ensure that you didn’t cause damage. They may send someone to you in some circumstances.

However, if it weren’t your spot, they’d probably replace the entire unit for you.

F.A.Q.s

Q: When a Hisense TV blinks red?

As mentioned, Hisense TV blinks red when there is a problem with the television. Red is typically associated with error or danger, so it’s important to take note of this and troubleshoot the issue as soon as possible.

Another potential cause for a red blinking light could be a power issue. Maybe the power outlet is not supplying enough power or the surge protector is damaged anyway.

Q: Why does my Hisense TV keep blinking on and off?

Several factors could cause this issue. But insufficient power supply, temporary system glitches, or network connectivity issue is the main ones.

Aside from this, if the TV gets too hot, it can also turn off and then on automatically.

Q: Still my Hisense TV Red light blinking 2 times!

If your Hisense TV is blinking red 2 times, it means that there is an issue with the television’s power supply or with the LED backlight.

The first thing you should do is unplug the TV from the wall outlet and then plug it back in. If that doesn’t fix the problem, try resetting the TV. To do this, simply unplug the TV from the wall outlet, wait 30 seconds, and then plug it back in.

If the TV still isn’t working and continuously flashing 2 times, your TV’s backlight may be damaged. In this case, contact Hisense customer service for further assistance.
