@jorgenson what model is your TV and does it show any sign of live? Have you checked the electrical outlet first? Checked the cable? What else have you checked?

Yes, I checked every outlet and again in the wall outlet that I know works...it just never came back on once I unplugged by accident while trying to reset my Fios box. I googled some methods that might restart it but no luck there either. Sadly, my Samsung that is probably 4 years old is Dead as a doornail! But thanks for trying to help

My tv is a 43 in LG tv and I have had it unplugged for a week and the other day I plugged it up and it didn't do anything.

My Samsung smart TV has this exact problem. Disconnected it to untangle cables, plugged it back in and wont turn on. Left it unplugged for about a week, tried again, and it worked like nothing happened. Just unplugged it again today and wont turn on again. Tried everything, dont know if I should leave unplugged or what

@jorgenson remove every other connection (video, cable box, Sat box etc.) and unplug the TV. Hold the power button down for about a minute. Then plug the TV back in and connect only one video source. A local source preferably (DVD, BR Player, game console etc.) and try to turn your TV on. Let us know what you get and the exact model number for your TV.

I need the red light on my tv so I can turn it on if I leave it unplugged for awhile and plug it back into the outlet
