How to manually program a universal remote for a Hisense TV?

The pairing procedures should be a little bit different in different branded remotes, but the common method is described here.

There should be device selection buttons on each and every third-party remote. Since we want to program for a TV device, the device button used should be the TV button.

A setup button is there on top.

Follow the instructions

• Press and hold down the setup button until the LED light turns ON
• Then press and release the TV button
• Enter the Hisense TV codes by the number keys
• After entering the digits, the LED will turn off indicating that the code is correct and is received successfully
• If the code entered is not correct, the LED will blink and proceed with the steps with another code
• When succeed, test the remote on your TV

Program auto code search method

So many remotes support auto code search methods where you don’t need to find the digits and apply directly. Instead, by following some steps, the remote control itself sends the codes to the TV and testing. When founding a proper code for the TV brand, the code will be set.

In some advanced universal remotes like Sofabaton X1, U1, etc. There is a simple official mobile application that you can simply pair with the TV.

Programming a universal remote to Hisense TV without codes?

If you want to manually pair the remote without a code entry method, you can follow the code scanning method. This is the most widely used method when don’t know the exact TV code.

• Point the remote to the TV, and press and hold down the setup button until RED LED lights up
• Press the device selection button. i.e, the TV button
• Press and release CH+ & CH- buttons simultaneously until the TV turns OFF (In some models, you should press the Power button at regular intervals rather than the channel button)
• When the TV turns OFF, you can confirm that the remote has been set to your device.
• Press the power key to turn on your TV again. And then test all other keys are working perfectly

Can you replace an original Hisense TV remote?

Yes! When the original TV remote has been broken or lost, you can replace it with an original or a third-party universal remote control.

If you replace it with the original, you don’t need to setup it up because it’ll be pre-programmed. Just put batteries on it and can use it along with your TV.

For pairing a universal remote control, you should program it with a 3, 4, or 5-digit code.

Suppose, your Hisense smart TV has a Bluetooth feature, you can simply pair Bluetooth controllers too. In addition, you can connect various game controllers too.

Trouble pairing a remote to Hisense TV? Try these fix

This could be due to issues with the remote or the code is not valid.

When you got the correct code, then you should apply the code properly in a way the remote brand recommended.

If the problem still exists, I recommend you reset the remote control to factory settings. Before that, try to soft reset it by removing the batteries for 2 minutes and then re-insert.

If the still problem occurs, then you can simply reset your Hisense TV to factory settings.

Conclusion

You may experience the Hisense TV Red light blinking several times like 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, or even up to 9 times. After blinking, nothing happens. Hisense TV stays with a black screen. The issue is commonly found in both normal smart and Roku model TVs.

Does it mean something goes wrong with your TV? First of all, let me tell you this is not a complicated error.

So,

What does it mean RED light Blinking on Hisense TV?

When there is Hisense TV RED light flashing error, it means the TV has some internal issues. The issue may be due to the standby mode, technical glitches on the circuit board, issues with the power circuit, etc.

Technically, there are different meanings when the RED LED light comes based on the number of times it flashes.

When there is a beep sound along with the RED flashing, we can confirm that the error occurred on the TV circuit board.

When it gives the proper code for what happened with the TV Via blinking codes, we can easily identify the issue and apply the troubleshooting tips.

How to fix Hisense TV’s red light flashing error?

Check the cable connection

You should check the cords that are connected to the TV to external devices and the power outlet. Check all the cables are connected nicely. Make sure that there is no voltage variation when switching on the power.

When there is damage to the power outlet box, you could check by connecting the TV to another source Via an extension box.

Disconnect any externally connected devices

Check all the connected devices. You may connect other streaming devices like Roku stick, FireTV, etc. Check if the device is connected properly. The software on the connected device will load when your Hisense TV turns ON and this may cause the RED light blinking error.

So, disconnect the externally connected device, and then after the TV turns ON, reconnect it and use it.

Power recycle

This is the most common troubleshooting tip we usually used when there is any issue showing electronic gadgets. Apply the same technique here. Almost all the vulnerabilities belonging to the Hisense TV will be fixed then.

Disconnect your TV from the power, and then wait for 2 or 3 minutes. Then replug and give power supply. This could refresh your TV and other hardware parts. If this couldn’t help, you could wait up to a few hours after disconnecting from the power source.

Push the power button for a while

If your Hisense TV won’t turn ON properly and continue to blink in RED, you could push the power button on the TV for a while till the TV turn OFF. This could attempt your TV to restart again while solving any start-up issue.

When any error occurred when your TV starts turning ON, this will happen.

Resetting is an option (What to do for OLD and NEW model TVs?)

Though resetting and updating the Hisense TV firmware is the best method to solve all the problems, we can’t use this method when you have a very old model TV that doesn’t bear a RESET button. You should use a remote control to reset it.

In any case, if the TV has turned ON, the first thing you should do is reset your TV and update the software. This will give an enhanced machine.

If you are using a new model Hisense smart TV or Hisense Roku TV, there will be a small reset button on the backside of the TV. Without disconnecting from the power source, press and hold down the button for a few seconds until the TV’s RED light stops and restarts.

Check the remote control health

When there is no proper communication in between the TV and the remote control, the RED light will blink several times. If you have a poor battery inserted on the remote and the remote doesn’t notify you when the charge is low, you should replace the batteries.

If you are using any third-party universal remote on your Hisense TV, you should use the original remote. If your friend or family has the same branded TV, you could bring their original remote control to test along with your TV.

If it worked, you should avoid the current universal remote. Instead buy a new original or universal remote for your TV.

Bring your TV circuit board for a check-up/ Claim the warranty

I know you are not an electronic expert. So, when any of the above-given troubleshooting tips don’t fix your Hisense TV RED light blinking codes, you should check the TV, especially the circuit board.

You can easily claim the warranty when your TV doesn’t exceed the warranty period. When the TV is within the warranty, don’t bring it to an external repair shop. Get it to the Hisense official and authorized center. They’ll examine your TV and will get the issue fixed.

Final thoughts

These are the real troubleshooting tips when your Hisense TV does not power ON, but is stuck on the RED light blinking issue. I hope this could help you.

Many users are getting this type of error in all the models, seeking for solutions on various community platforms like Reddit, Quora, smart TV forums, etc.
