Such are the advances in technology in televisions there are a whole multitude of things which can go wrong on a modern set.

Check for simple problems like the electricity plug. A surge of power may have caused the trip switch to trigger and turn off the power at the mains, though if this has happened you will have no power whatsoever in the house.
Make sure to check the fuse in the plug, again, a surge of power may have caused this to blow and it will simply be a case of fitting a replacement fuse. Make sure you check what AMP the fuse is before fitting a new one as you will have to make sure the replacement is the same power.
Check that the power hasn’t been turned off on the set automatically. Many people choose to turn the TV on and off using the remote, but if it is turned off at the set you will not be able to use the remote control. The switch will either be on the side of the TV set or in a small compartment under the screen.
If the problem is more serious than a blown fuse or a power surge you may need to contact the store where you bought the TV. If it is a recent purchase you will still be covered by warranty and you will be entitled to a free repair, or if necessary a replacement TV.
