Soft Reset Mi TV Using Physical Buttons
Usually, resetting returns a TV to its factory settings, resulting in the complete removal of all data. However, using the physical buttons on Mi TV, you can only perform a Soft Reset. This doesn’t erase any data from your TV.
1. Unplug your Mi TV from the power outlet and wait for a few minutes.
2. Plug the TV back into the power outlet and long press the Power button on your TV unit. Now, the TV will turn On, and the soft reset process is complete.
Note: You can usually find the Power button on the side or back of the TV if its an older model. On newer models, the button will be under the TV’s logo or the bottom-side of the TV.
Reset Mi TV Using Remote Apps
A remote app lets you control your Mi Smart TV through your smartphone, just like controlling with a regular remote. Once you pair your Mi TV to the app, you can access the virtual remote to head to the respective options on Settings and reset the TV. Based on your TV’s OS, use the appropriate one from the following official apps for the process.
Fire TV OS
Amazon Fire TV – Play Store | App Store
