Factory reset/Soft reset an LG TV

[@ronaldanguiano]

Thanks for the video.. the power button/volume down button worked for me! You saved me a TV because I was close to throwing it away. Thanks again!

[@Marcus-sx2wc]

Amazing video !!!!! Fixed my hotel problem in less than a minute

[@blessingokpale5367]

Thanks, the power plug disconnect worked for me. Thanks.❤

[@JC-ph9vr]

Thank you so much!! Holding down the power button in the center fixed my Bluetooth connection fault. I've tried everything. Didn't know about that and it worked thank you!!

[@pinkmelissa1022]

It may sound silly but the unplug trick worked!! Thanks guy!!

[@smarthomestarter]

You’d be surprised how many problems it solves

[@rosebudsalon4214]

Please help. Have a lg super uhd tv with the magic remote MR650A. How do you re-register the remote if the message "Bluetooth service needs to be initialized" when pressing the wheel/ok button.

[@keving52002]

The power down and vol up button for 15 seconds help me with my LG 55UN69 ,it was running sluggish and slow to command. After doing this ,,it repsoned more quickly with the remote.

[@triv22twain]

Can't access apps (so Hulu and paramount+ not accessible). Tried all 3 of your suggestions and ended up doing the factory reset. Get system error when trying to download terms & conditions agreement (says if I don't accept it, I will have limitations). So assuming this is why I can't access apps. Tried multiple times to download the terms, but keep getting error code. Will not buy an LG tv again. Know it's the tv, because I can access both streaming apps on my laptop and iPhone.

[@softarrow1843]

Thank you, the first option worked great for my lg cx! :)

[@smarthomestarter]

Great to hear!

[@seanothan213]

Power button thing worked for me. Cheers

[@peterpayne2219]

I moved my TV to a new house, and apparently I damaged it somehow. The TV, which is an LG CX 48, shows a single vertical line and then it turns off about two seconds after I turned it on. Nothing seems to be able to reset anything, I can bring up menu or anything.

[@johnjmacdonald8981]

Thanks from Alicante with an old LG flat screen and Chromecast problems! Now I'm in middle of factory reset😢

[@adolfodominguez7365]

Holding power does a soft reset including apps

[@JuanCastro-ql9ye]

I tried but nothing it black screen and I hit power and it’s telling me it’s currently running pixels cleaning and will let me know when it’s done that was over an hour.

[@kymanip2820]

Tysm I was to dumb to think of unplugging it and plugging it back in

[@dawnevans169]

Thanks. I still have TV issue. I have a thin vertical blue line down my LG TV screen. Advice said to reset my TV. Followed your instructions but the line is still there. Any advice please?

[@luke.dean2704]

Run pixel refresh or panel care settings..or hard reset.

[@cloudstroz]

Try the power button on c3 . Nothing happened. Only turn off the tv

[@oneyegarage4152]

So mine is acting up to where it go mute to volume back and forth n it’s stuck on the select menu

[@fernandoavf7]

my lg uh6100 has the option "Reset factory settings" disabled in the general menu, and i can't select it, I don't know if it is a problem after update the system or is a option that lock that (tv hasn't security pin), do you know how to do a factory reset?

[@stasi1854]

Have you figured that out?? I also have it 😭

[@48VAC]

I cannot access any menu functions. Can scroll the list of options in the main menu, but cannot go beyond

[@fernandomunoz-najera8634]

[@48VAC]

@@fernandomunoz-najera8634 turned out to be a bad remote "ok" button. bought a new one.

[@stasi1854]

Have you figured that out?? I also have it 😭

[@Peterstavrou]

@@stasi1854 me as well. Made a beep noise, i turned off the TV now it won't turn on.

[@kentower]

My tv picture comes on, stays for about 2 seconds, then goes black again (shuts off). I can’t go to settings. I remember I changed the settings to the energy friendly, so the tv will boot now everything it’s turned on instead of just going to sleep mode (if that makes sense, sorry, I’m not a native speaker). Is there a way to do a hard reset on these TVs? I can’t access the software menu, tried the unplug trick, then the hold power on the tv, then the power plus volume on the remote. It shows the start screen of my PlayStation in the beginning but then shuts off, please help.

[@simons3631]

I'm no expert in this field, however we had a flashing tv screen on a tv about 10 years old (flashing every two seconds) I didn't know of the soft reset on the remote and the other two options here had no effect. I decided to plug my laptop into the tv via HDMI cable to try and & mirror the tv screen on to it in the hope I could be able to perform a hard reset that way. By the time I had the Screen Mirroring app open on my laptop the tv screen returned to normal! Ran the tv for several hours and turned off & on again several times without problem. I then opted not to go ahead with the hard reset as a process of elimination. Four days later the problem resurfaced and I took the same approach. Soft reset on the tv again no result, laptop plugged in again and within seconds the screen was back to normal operation. From there I did a hard reset and three days later still good. So fingers crossed it is a fix this time! 🤞Hope this may help you.

[@terryewald2681]

Thanks. The soft reset worked!

[@gabrielikeda9123]

Thanks mate, you saved me!

[@smarthomestarter]

🤙🏽

[@caneshahook0907]

Thank you. This worked !!

[@smarthomestarter]

Glad it helped

[@timmcnally3514]

Nothing worked the screen still has a blue tint

[@Reknaw155]

I spent about 15 minutes trying all of this and it wouldn't work. The TV red light comes on but the screen doesn't power on. Eventually I unplugged it and smacked it on the back right side and volia it's on. The TV has an issue with randomly powering off and on. It's 2008 and needs replacing.

[@smarthomestarter]

Sometime that smack is the fix 😂

[@JumpingFlightAttendant]

Mine keeps saying No Signal

[@marianaiturbe-rr6ld]

How can i do that if wey dont have rempte

[@jillhopster8455]

None of these options worked for me. I bought the TV the week before Christmas 2023. It worked GREAT until after I had played some LG Channel music. Now I can't, for the life of me, get cable to work. I still have my cable hooked up to it so I can get used to all these new options before I disconnect cable. But I can no longer get cable to work.

[@smarthomestarter]

Does your tv OS look like the one in the video?

[@JamesTing-US]

Just factory reset to solving the Wifi random disconnect issues. 😂

[@lunckytunk]

Does anyone else have the issue where your TV shuffles through all the picture settings by itself? Film maker mode IS off. Still does it

[@matthewduffy929]

Check if its Home mode or Demo mode ?

[@markhughes3439]

After factory reset my tv wouldn't turn back on, kept flashing black then white...
