Chapter 8: Troubleshooting

LED indications

The yellow, blue, and red/green LED lights on the TV (at the bottom center of the TV) indicate the TV’s status, as described below.

Note: If the TV loses A/C power (e.g., a power outage occurs or the power cord is unplugged), when power is restored, the yellow LED will blink while the TV is booting until the remote control is usable. This is normal and is not a sign of malfunction.
