I have 3 flashing red lights when I try to power up my TV.

Self diagnostics function. From the remote I press the power button to switch the TV on. The green led light flashes once, then I get a red led which flashes 3 times repeatedly. What is the issue?

  • Dave Wright Oct 16, 2012

    More information about my flashing light issue. I turned off and unplugged the TV, left it for a while, but when I turned the TV back on, still no joy. The green 'power on' light flashed twice followed by the red light flashing 3 times repeatedly. After pressing the power button a few times the TV will work as normal. Can anyone help??? Please!

When I turn on the tv all i get is the welcome screen, and it will not go any futher,there is green light flashing in front of the tv. and it will not turn off with the remote, i have to unplug it.

Hi Andre,

May I know if the LED light at the front panel has a pattern of flashes or flashing continuously in green color.

Please check if you can access the "Self diagnostic screen" by following the steps below.
- To activate, press the front panel "Activity" and "Channel down" buttons at the same time and hold for 5 secs. The Status led will then flash a two digit code. Example, if the error code is "23" the led light flashes 2 times(blink, blink) pause and then flash 3 times(blink, blink, blink). Let me know the error code to narrow down, it will help to diagnose where the fault came from.
Note : the TV must be in shutdown not switched off, or AC power cord is removed because the code will reset to "12" means no error. Use the front panel buttons not on the remote control. If you can't access the self diagnostic, press and hold the "Activity" button on the front panel for 5 secs before entering the "self diagnostic" code.
Regards,
Jdvillanueva

How do i get my dishnetwork remote programed to my world tv

Janicesim851, Programming the remote is pretty simple.

We don't have any codes for a World TV available, though you can check out this link for more information

http://www.dishnetwork.com/SupportSection/remote-setup

In case you already have a code available I will provide both instructions to address the remote, and how to power scan the code in.

Addressing Remote to
TV: 1.) Press and hold the clear TV button until all mode lights light up.
2.) Release and TV light will be blinking.
3.) Enter code and press #. The TV button should flash 3 times.
4.) Try functions (Volume, Power, etc..) and see if working.
5.) If no function, repeat steps 1-4 with another code.

Power Scan to TV:
1.) With the TV on, press and hold the TV button (about six seconds) on top of the remote until all mode button backlights come on, then release.
2.) Press and release the red power button, then press the Up button once a second while pointing the remote at the TV. If the code for the TV comes up, it will power off.
3.) Press the POUND (#) button. If the code entered is valid for the remote, the mode light flashes three times. To verify the code works try several different functions for that equipment.

Let me know if you have any other questions!
