When should you restart or reset your LG TV? Restarting is always the first step in troubleshooting, as it usually solves minor issues like the Wi-Fi not connecting. You might also be prompted to restart your TV after installing an update. A hard reboot, or a reset, power cycles your TV to resolve more complicated issues that a restart couldn't fix. This wikiHow article teaches you how to restart and reset LG TVs with or without a remote or PIN.

Things You Should Know

  • Restart your TV before you reset it. Many bugs can be fixed by simply restarting the TV.
  • A hard reset can solve memory and software-related issues, but also erases all the settings you've changed on the TV.
  • To restart without a remote, press and hold the "Power" button on the TV for about 10 seconds, unplug it for about 1 minute, then plug it back in and turn it on.

    After your TV powers off, you don't want it to draw power from any source like the wall socket.
    • Wait at least a minute. You want the power to cycle through to ensure your TV is completely off.
