How to Restart Insignia TV Without Remote

Apart from restarting your Insignia TV through the settings menu using your remote, you can also do it without the remote using the following methods.

Using Physical Buttons

All Insignia TVs will have physical buttons that can be found on the side or back of the TV unit.

• In older models, you can press the Menu/Settings button to open the Settings menu and use the channel or volume buttons to hover over options and restart the TV.

• In the latest models, you can only use the Power button, which is located under the TV logo.
  • Just press and hold this button to turn off your TV.
  • Then, unplug your TV from the power outlet. After a few seconds, plug it back in and turn on the TV by long-pressing the Power button.

Using Remote Apps

You can also use your smartphone with the Insignia TV remote app to control your TV and carry out the restarting procedure. In order to do so, you must connect your Insignia TV and smartphone to the same WiFi network.

• Amazon Fire App – Install this app from the Play Store or App Store and control the Insignia Fire TV.
• The Roku App (Official) – Download this app from the App Store or Play Store and control the Insignia Roku TV.
• Open your TV’s respective app and select your TV’s name for pairing.
