#Where Is The Power Button Located?

Here are the possible locations of the power button based on the Philips Roku TV model you have:

#Back Panel Buttons

Many Philips Roku TVs have physical buttons for power and volume control on the back. Check left and right panels for a button with a standby symbol (a line partially through a circle).

• Hold power button for 5+ seconds to turn TV on/off

• May need small object like pen tip to press in

• Also locate built-in Roku reset pinhole

#Side Panel Buttons

Some models have physical buttons along the left or right bezel edge. Look for tiny icons indicating power, volume, input source.

Side panel buttons may show a red blinking light indicating the TV is in standby mode. Read more about meaning of blinking red light on Philips TVs.

• Buttons may have haptic feedback

• Hold power button to turn TV on

#Front Control Panel

On other Philips Roku TVs, buttons are under front edge or lower right corner.

• Swivel front panel down to access buttons

• Includes power, input, volume, channel navigation

• LED light indicates TV status

#Roku Mobile App

Don’t have physical access to your Philips TV? Download official Roku app to use phone as remote:

• iOS App Store

• Android Google Play

Once connected to same WiFi network, you can easily power TV on/off.

#What Are Alternative Ways To Power On a Philips Roku TV?

If buttons aren’t working, try these resets before replacing remote:

• Unplug TV for 1 minute to discharge, replug and retry

• Press and hold TV reset pinhole with paperclip for 15-30 seconds

• Some models have master power switch on back – toggle on/off

• Check remote battery level before assuming issue

• Use universal remote if unable to find Roku remote

• Factory reset Roku TV using step-by-step menus

As a last resort, directly access the power supply inside Philips TV – but I only recommend technicians attempt this method.

#Troubleshooting Philips Roku TV Power Problems

Power issues like not turning on often stem from power supply/main board failure. Try these steps:

• Inspect power cord for damage

• Test wall outlet with a volt meter

• Plug in lamp to confirm outlet working

• Inspect inside for loose ribbon cables

• Check power supply board for burnt smell/components

• Purchase replacement main logic board if faulty

Intermittent turning off could indicate overheating. Make sure ventilation and fan is operating normally.

Overheating can cause random powering off, which may show a blue tint on Philips TVs first. Be sure ventilation and fans work properly.

#Bottom Line

Finding the power button can be a headache with so many options. To quickly turn on your Philips Roku TV:

• Check back/side panels for physical buttons
