SIMPLE TRICKS AND REPAIR TIPS TO HELP YOU FIX YOUR HISENSE ANDROID LED / LCD 4K TV...
COMPLAINT: BLINKING RED POWER LIGHT... SCREEN DARK - WILL NOT POWER UP...
My Hisense Android 4K TV will not power-up. A few months after the one year warranty expired, the screen suddenly went dark while watching my favorite shows. It blinks red (3 times) when I press the power button. What I found was shocking but is the reality of buying and owning 4K TV's today.
Hello everyone... When my Hisense 4K Android TV died a few days ago, I began searching for solutions to fix a blinking red light issue.
Here's what I found...
5 software issues that may cause streaming apps to become unresponsive or "bricked..."

I have two grand kids. My wife and I took them
to the movies and a night out at their favorite restaurant. They grab their
video game and cell phone and sat in the back seat as we traveled. They had a
great time at the movies and thanked us for the food and spending time
together.
The next morning on my way to the grocery store,
I discovered that the engine cranked slowly and stumbled to a start. No
big deal, I thought. The engine started and I went shopping.
Rule #1 A fully charged battery should deliver 12.6 volts. Each battery cell should produce 2.1 volts. There are 6 cells in a lead-acid automotive battery. A quick battery test to determine if your battery is FULLY CHARGED - blow the horn. Yes! Try it!
Strong Horn = Battery is GOOD. Weak horn = Battery is WEAK. No Horn or Faint Horn = Battery is DEAD. Easy!
On my way back to
the car, I found the dome light ON when placing groceries in the car.
"Maybe the kid sitting on the right side forgot to turn OFF the overhead
light switch," I thought to myself. I quickly forgot about it and said
nothing to the kids - and enjoyed our two-week stay at their home.
Rule #2 Every battery has an ampere-hour rating – which
indicates how long a typical battery can maintain – say for example 50 amps at
a discharge rate of 1 amps per hour or 50 ampere-hours (Ah). A 2 amp discharge
rate can be maintained for 25 hours. If you divide the 25 hours by 1/2, which
represents 50% percent discharge or the point where the battery is no longer
able to crank the engine – that leaves you 12.5 hours. - mechanics.stackexchange.com
A GOOD battery should be able to start the engine during an 8-10 hour current draw of 2 amps. After 10 hours, the battery becomes WEAK and you may experience starting problems! After 12.5 hours or more, your battery is DEAD or too weak to turn on the lights.
When I returned home from the visit, my son
called me in a panic because his car would not start after stopping by the
restaurant on his way home. I advised him to called roadside
assistance for a jump-start and then head over to the auto parts store and have
the battery tested. He decided to purchase a new battery after the old one
tested 400 Cold Cranking Amps (CCA) out of the rated 550.
Rule
#3 Most battery manufacturers now use CCA ratings for batteries and not
ampere-hours. The CCA rating for automotive batteries ranges from 315-550 CCA or 60-80 RC (reserve capacity). That’s
46.2 – 58.8 Ah.Reserve Capacity identifies how long a battery can deliver 25 amps at 80°F without
falling below 1.75 volts per battery cell. - autobatteries.com
In
other words, if
a 550 CCA battery falls below 80% capacity – it will cause starting problems. When the battery was tested at the auto parts store, it showed 400 CCA out of 550 which indicates a battery replacement. 440 CCA is 80% of 550 –
which is the limit for battery replacement.
When my son got home from the auto parts store, he
discovered the dome light on the right-side rear burning hot.
Guess who left the light on, again!
Wait
a minute!
“This
is not a battery problem - this is a kid problem," I thought to myself!
"If
you turn the light ON, then you must turn it OFF."
“But
calm down and let's look at this situation...” I told my son.
Rule
#4 To determine if your vehicle is pulling too many amps when the ignition is
turned OFF. Follow this rule: A normal parasitic draw is about 50mA or 0.05
amps, but the range can be anywhere from about 0.03 to 0.085 amps (30-85mA).
See homebatterybank.com
This
is the original battery that is almost 7 years old. The average lifespan of a
lead-acid battery is 4-5 years. In new or good condition, a battery should be able to
withstand a 2 amp current draw for 8-10 hours or more and still be able to start a
vehicle.
Was
the battery already weak or shorted? Maybe!
Could
this situation reveal hidden battery problems? I
think so!
Should this kid be chewed or spanked (oops... I meant thanked)?Well, here's what we decided...
Use this opportunity as a teachable moment to help kids become responsible and learn the importance of turning lights OFF when they exit a vehicle. Besides, this will be an easy lesson at the next family outing, when the kids are hungry - all you have to say is:
"Will you remember to turn all lights OFF when you leave the vehicle?"
Rule
#5 A current draw test can be done with a multimeter. This test will help you determine if electrical components inside the vehicle is discharging the battery when the ignition switch is turned OFF. Watch a YouTube video by Flashback502 that explains how to conduct an amp draw test...
