Is it Possible to Reset the Toshiba Smart TV Without a Remote?
Yes. Using a remote to reset your TV is the easier and quicker method. However, if your remote isn’t working, you can use the following methods to reset your Toshiba TV without a remote.
Using Physical Buttons
Some Toshiba TV models will have physical buttons on the side or back of the TV. You can reset your TV using these buttons.
1. Turn On your Toshiba TV without a remote using the Power button on the TV Panel.
2. Use the Arrow, Channel, or Volume buttons to navigate to Settings and select the reset or factory reset option by pressing the OK button.
The TV will reset, and the setup screen will appear. You can start setting up your TV from scratch.
Note: Newer Toshiba TVs only have the Power button which allows you to either turn on the TV or change inputs. So, you cannot use this button to reset the TV.
Use Remote Apps
Remote apps let you control your TV using a virtual remote interface on your smartphone. In order to control your TV using this app, your TV and phone need to be connected to the same WiFi. Then, you can open the remote app and follow the on-screen prompts to pair the app with your TV. Once paired, use the navigation icons on the remote app to reset the Toshiba TV to factory settings.
Since Toshiba uses different Operating Systems, they have their own dedicated remote apps which are listed below.
- Toshiba Android TV / Toshiba Google TV – Google TV App (Play Store | App Store)
- Toshiba Fire TV – Amazon Fire TV App (App Store | Play Store)
- Toshiba VIDAA TV – VIDAA Smart TV App (Play Store | App Store)
Note: It is also possible to use third-party or universal remote apps to control your Toshiba TV.
Whenever you are experiencing minor issues on your Toshiba TV, just use the above methods to reset the TV and fix it. Instead of calling customer service or wasting money on technicians, try to fix the issue yourself by resetting the TV. Make sure to set up the Toshiba TV from scratch after the reset process is completed and start using it without any issues.
