If your Emerson TV experiences glitches or has performance issues, you can reset it to resolve the issue. Resetting will not only fix the problem but also erase the data stored by your Emerson TV. If you have a remote, you can easily reset your Emerson TV by navigating to the TV settings. However, if you don’t have a remote, you can still reset your Emerson TV with the alternative methods given in this article.
Reset the Emerson TV Using Physical Buttons
Physical buttons will help to operate the Emerson TV in emergencies when the remote is lost or broken. Some Emerson TVs come with a dedicated Reset button to factory reset it. You can find this reset button on the TV’s backside. You need to use a sharp object to press the reset button, as it lies within a small hole. So, take a paper clip and use its sharp end to press the Reset button and hold it for 5 to 10 seconds. Your Emerson TV will restart if it completes the reset process.
If your Emerson TV does not have the Reset button, you can use the TV panel buttons. Tap the Menu button on your Emerson TV panel. Now, using the Volume or Channel buttons, navigate to the System option, and select Advanced Settings. Finally, tap the Factory Reset option to perform the reset.
Reset the Emerson TV Using the Remote App
If you have a smartphone and a WiFi connection, you can use the remote app to reset your Emerson TV. Though there are many Emerson TV models available, only the Emerson webOS TV has an official remote app. So, you can use the LG ThinQ app as a virtual remote on your phone and use it to reset your Emerson webOS TV. This app is available for Android (Play Store) and iPhone (App Store).
Once installed, connect your phone to the same WiFi as your TV is connected to. Then, run the app and pair your Emerson webOS TV with it. Once the remote layout appears, use these steps to reset your TV to factory defaults.
1. Tap the Settings icon on the LG ThinQ app.
2. Select All Settings and tap General.
3. Scroll down to System and select Reset to Initial Settings.
4. Finally, select Reset All and your TV will begin to erase all the saved data and settings.
If you use a basic Emerson HDTV, LED, or LCD TV, you need to use IR remote apps to control it. Since the IR apps work by emitting infrared signals, you need to confirm if your Android mobile has a built-in IR blaster. Some of the best IR remote apps to control your Emerson TV are as follows.
Once you install the app, you can use it to go to Settings and reset the TV.
Use a Wireless Keyboard to Factory Reset the Emerson TV
Other than using remote apps and physical buttons, you can use a wireless keyboard with a D-pad to reset your Emerson TV. To connect a wireless keyboard to your TV, you need to connect the USB dongle to your Emerson TV’s USB port.
Once the connection is detected, a mouse pointer will appear on the TV screen. Using the mouse pointer and navigation keys on the keyboard, you can navigate to the Emerson TV settings and then factory reset it.
