I have a 75-inch TCL QLED Fire TV (75Q691F) that suddenly stopped working, and I'm trying to figure out if there's any way to fix it.
The TV was working normally before I left town. I unplugged it while I was away, and when I came back and plugged it in, it wouldn't turn on.
**Symptoms:**
The screen is completely black.
There's no sound or picture from the TV.
The white status light starts blinking immediately when I plug in the TV.
It blinks consistently about once every second.
The light continues blinking even when I press or hold the physical power button.
No TCL or Fire TV logo appears.
**Everything I've tried so far:**
Unplugged the TV for 2 minutes.
Held the physical power button for 15–30 seconds while the TV was unplugged.
Disconnected all HDMI cables.
Tried turning it on using the physical power button rather than the remote.
Tried the flashlight test to check for a faint image on the screen.
Held the physical power button while reconnecting the power cord to try to enter recovery mode.
Held the **Back button + Right side of the remote's navigation ring** for about 10 seconds to try the Fire TV factory-reset shortcut.
Tried holding **Back + Right on the remote while reconnecting the TV's power** to attempt recovery mode.
None of these steps made any difference. The white light keeps blinking, and the screen stays completely black with no sound or picture.
I also checked the TV for a physical reset button, but I only found the power bottom.
**My questions:**
Does anyone know a confirmed recovery-mode button combination for this exact model?
Has anyone fixed this exact blinking-white-light issue?
Does this sound more like a power supply problem, a mainboard failure, or corrupted firmware?
Any advice from someone who has repaired TCL Fire TVs, especially the 75Q691F, would be greatly appreciated!
