TCL Roku smart TVs have the best combination of technology, design, and quality. In many ways, TCL products have managed an outstanding record of user-friendly products.
Today, we are going to discuss the TCL Roku TV power button. As a matter of fact, many TCL users are unaware of the existence of a ‘Power button’ on the TCL TV. Yes, it exists!
And in the event of misplacing the TV remote, one definitely needs to know an alternate option for powering on your TV. So it is important to understand the location of the power button.
Where is the TCL Roku TV power button?
The location of the TCL Roku TV power button is exactly under the logo of the TV. It is between the volume buttons. The button to the right of the power button increases the volume, while the one on the left decreases it.
However, the location of power buttons may vary depending on the model.
For some models of TCL TV, the power button is situated on the right side of the back of the TV.
The power button on most TCL Roku TVs can indeed be found in the following locations:
1. Middle, underside of the TV
The power button is typically located underneath the center of the TV, set back a bit. It may be positioned slightly forward or further back, depending on the model.
2. Back right side of the TV, mid-panel
If you couldn’t locate the power button in the first location, it’s worth checking the back right side of the TV, around the middle of the panel.
3. Back right of the TV, towards the bottom of the panel
If you still haven’t found the power button, take a look at the lower back, right side of the TV. It’s possible that the power button is located there, especially in older TCL Roku TV models.
Now, why would the TCL TV come with hidden power buttons? It is not a crime to present one’s products focusing on the latest trend of minimalism.
Of course, the majority of users would never prefer big round buttons right in front of a smart TV. Perhaps, they might even prefer a touch sensor that can turn on the TV, noiselessly.
Either way, the location of power buttons has indeed disappeared in every model that began appearing in the market in recent years.
So what we have now, are the aesthetic models that appear more intelligent and attractive for customers.
How to turn on TCL Roku TV without a remote?
A smart TV is not completely protected from technical faults in connections or damages in any of its parts.
For instance, when the remote sensors stop working, a smart TV stops seeming ‘smart’ unless you had normal, down-to-earth, manual controls. So occasionally we are forced to use the same old methods of operation.
Now, most of the users haven’t yet uncovered the use of a smart TV when linked with a gadget. The efficiency of linking your smartphone to your TV is the coolest advantage that comes with this technology.
So next time when you lose your TV remote, don’t worry. The TV is smart enough to work without one. All you need is your smartphone.
