How to reset an LG TV without a remote

[@randysmith2880]

No sound. Followed your "hold power button in for 15 sec, then unplugged TV for 1 minute" soft reset directions. That worked like a charm. Thanks!

[@tgcal]

For after reset without a remote I just used a bluetooth mouse, plugging the usb receiver into the back of the TV. It was that simple!

What is the benefit of using thinq app to reset as we will require a remote after reset

[@Laylow1212]

Mf a straight dumb video pointless asf!!!

[@moneycoach1]

My tv won't connect to the Thinq app because I can't connect it to Wi-Fi. How do I connect it to the app if it just says "No Signal"? The input button won't work either.

[@williammcclure8382]

Did you ever find a solution for it to work?

[@newmood5706]

Bruh everybody is doing a video how to reset it without remote but what about accessing your tv after factory reset🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄

[@smarthomestarter]

Get the SmartThings app

[@smarthomestarter]

Or get a cheap universal. GE or Phillips are around 10 bucks on Amazon. Can’t miss bruh

[@barryduncan458]

Doesn't work, hence the "I need to do this without a remote" My wifi is disabled and I need to be able to configure the tv without the remote after a reset.@@smarthomestarter

[@irdygirdy]

How do you reconnect the app when the tv is asking me to press OK on the remote? App can't connect because tv is reset and not connected to WiFi yet 🤦🏽‍♀️

[@moneycoach1]

​@irdygirdy Same boat. Mine won't connect to the Thinq app because it's not connected to Wi-Fi because there's no remote. Smh.

[@LaShainaCallahan-fd8om]

Does the thin Q app work on any LGTV like the LG Nano cell

[@DMStaley]

Figured out a fix!!! Plug in a USB keyboard and you can fix settings and reset it

[@Tanasigrl]

Remote works but screen stays blue. How do you perform hard reset if you can't see Settings?

[@wallsmartsme]

I have an LG TV. It was in a hotel with Xfinity. This TV doesn't have any options to scan for TV channels. I tried to reset the TV without a remote. No matter what I do the TV remains locked on Xfinity and doesn't have the option to scan for TV channels especially analog using sn antenna. I'll try to hold the power button but, that's what I tried at least 15 times and the TV remains locked without the option to scan for TV channels. So, since I tried your suggestions I eill simply buy a new Smart TV from Walmart instead a few weeks.

[@sterlingedwardsjr.5831]

what if I have an older model that cannot connect to wifi should I get the physical universal remote then?

[@bakedbeans4816]

How do you apply the remote to the tv?

[@irdygirdy]

Um I rest tv and now my app won't connect to it and I have no real remote to hit the okay button

[@smarthomestarter]

Plug in a usb keyboard and hit enter

[@jamaicahomesteadtv]

[@cherylflbeachkat5186]

You're the best! Problem solved :)

[@hiteshdand8794]

After TV has restarted. How to get going? It says click on Start, but now ThinQ app remote got disconnected because of reset

[@smarthomestarter]

Power buttons on tv

[@hiteshdand8794]

​@smarthomestarter Tried power button multiple times. It just power On/Off. Nothing else

[@smarthomestarter]

Do you have a usb keyboard?

[@hiteshdand8794]

Computer keyboard ? Yes have it

[@SuperArt7]

The thing is this remote when i click on menu doesnt show all the setting. I can adjust the picture color or anything

[@DMStaley]

I know this vid is a year old but hoping someone can help. This WORKED for me! I was able to get control of the TV with the app. But I messed up and went straight to factory reset and now the TV is stuck on a screen that says “press the ok button on your remote”. I’ve tried to use other LG remotes and nothing. Anyone know what to do?

[@wallsmartsme]

I have a 2013 LG TV and it was a hotel room locked TV. There's no option to scan for channels or reset the TV. Every video on KZbin doesn't help me reset the TV

[@annarainexo]

Hi there! When I worked at Tim Hortons we were given the old tv's they were replacing. It is stuck on the menu board and I was not given a pin to unlock/reset the settings, I also do not have a remote How do I factory reset the tv and set it to home mode? Thanks

[@jamesrbu5]

Did you ever find a solution? I have the same issue.

[@annarainexo]

​@@jamesrbu5 NOPE. Mid April and still no TV

[@RoyCavicchi]

easy to follow. Not too fast so I can take notes

[@thegeckoguy-kq8dq]

Well my only issue is what do you do if you cannot get your tv connected with your phone because it does not have internet. What do you do then? I'm having an issue and I can't afford a universal remote at the moment

[@michaeladams2286]

Hey I don't have a remote ,I have a LG flat screen TV 2019 yr ,it was given to me from a hotel ,because they were getting New tvs ,it asks for a code well I have no remote control,I pressed the reset button in the back it does nothing,any help will be greatly appreciated please

[@smarthomestarter]

Thinq app? Or universal remote

[@michaeladams2286]

@@smarthomestarter my apologies for not getting sooner ,I've been through you tube searching and nothing has worked,your video didn't work either ,I was messing around with numbers and I finally found the code that unlocked everything,I do thank you for responding back .

[@notyoursheep9557]

misleading tittle, sorry,, you said "without a remote".. using an app means using a cloud remote

[@valeriewright4575]

Where is the power button on the TV?

[@smarthomestarter]

Check under the screen. Or on the back bottom left or right

[@Mer_2005]

I scroll down to settings but when I click on settings the next screen won't show up ever heard of that?

[@d4rthteddybe4r]

Really doesn't help that I have to connect to the Internet to use the app remote when I can't access that menu without a remote to connect to that Internet. Very contradictive. LG stick to Refrigerators

[@GreaseLightin-hr7mq]

I’m having the same dang problem idk what the hell to do lol

[@M.P-j6s]

Cant use the Thinq app after tv reset with no remote. Useless video.
