If Your LG TV Won't Turn On — LG Help Guide: Causes, Checks & Fixes

If your TV won’t turn on, check the power connection and the standby light on the lower edge of the TV. Disconnect the power cord, reconnect it securely, and then press the power button on the TV. If the TV turns on with the power button, replace the remote control batteries. If the TV still does not turn on, check the power outlet and circuit breaker.
