Thank you. Have you done any troubleshooting by yourself?

Customer Replay

What next

*****, do you have any error messages displayed on the TV screen or does it says just "no signal"?

Customer Replay

No signal
I have checked the cable line in the cable line is working

Please, try to do the following:
Reboot the cable box:

  1. To do this, either use your remote or the power button on the box itself.
  2. Then, wait for a few minutes to turn it back on.
  3. After that, reboot your TV.
  4. Turn off your TV and wait for a few minutes to turn it back on as well.

So, have you finished the steps I sent you?

Customer Replay

My cable box says booting. Then I see flashing. And then nothing. Do I turn on my cable box then?

Yes turn it on

Customer Replay

Now I see auto 1080 I die and it’s telling me to auto scan

May I ask you to provide me with a photo of that?

Yes I took out the HDMI cord. Is this the right cord to insert into the TV?
Do I need the cord that has the white red and yellow connector?

Try to connect them to the area shown in the picture: it says "HDTV" below the inputs

Customer Replay

I believe it’s working now. We have connected the cable we have it on component 2 and it seems to be working just fine.

Great! So, is your issue resolved now?

Customer Replay
