In this article, we will discuss the process of resetting a smart TV when it’s stuck on the logo screen. It is important to know when and how to reset the TV.
Sometimes, we encounter situations where a normal factory data reset is not possible, or the TV’s software crashes, hangs, or gets stuck on the boot screen. In such cases, a forced factory data reset, also known as a hard reset or entering into recovery mode, becomes necessary. However, it is crucial to note that performing a forced factory data reset will erase all customized settings, including the parental lock setting, as well as the following:
- Google Account/Gmail Account/Play Store Account
- Application data and system data
- Network settings and wireless key
- User data, such as channel settings and other preferences
