Soft Reset Insignia TV Without Remote

Performing a soft reset clears all the minor bugs or errors and improves Insignia TV’s performance. It is advisable to do a soft reset before you try a hard reset to avoid erasing all the data or settings that you have saved.

Switch off your Insignia TV using the physical Power button and disconnect its power cord from the wall socket. Leave your Insignia TV off for around 10 minutes to drain the residual power. Then, press the Power button and the Volume Down button on your TV for 60 seconds before connecting it to the power. Now, connect your Insignia TV’s power cord back to the wall socket and turn it on.

If your TV turns on and runs without issues, the power cycling method is working. If your Insignia TV is still slow, you need to factory reset it to solve the issue.

Hard Reset the Insignia TV using a Keyboard or Mouse

How to Reset Insignia TV Without Remote - Keyboard and Mouse

Connecting a keyboard or mouse to an Insignia TV is possible if it has a USB port. Grab the mouse dongle and connect it to the Insignia TV’s USB port. Once your Insignia TV detects it, you can use the mouse pointer to navigate to the settings and perform a factory reset. If you don’t own a keyboard or mouse, you can buy one from Amazon.

  • Reset Insignia Fire TV: Go to Settings → Select Device & Software → Click Reset to Factory Defaults → Tap Reset.
  • Reset Insignia Roku TV: Navigate to Settings → Scroll Down to System → Tap About → Select Advanced System Settings → Tap Factory Reset → Click Factory Reset Everything → Enter the code to reset to factory settings.

Factory Reset Insignia TV Using Remote Apps

Other than using a keyboard and mouse, you can reset your Insignia TV using your smartphone. All you need to do is install a suitable Insignia TV remote app on your phone according to your TV’s operating system. Before using the app, ensure your Insignia TV and smartphone are on the same WiFi. Then, you can move to the Settings menu using the remote and perform a factory reset.

If you don’t have a WiFi connection in your home or if you have any issues with WiFi, there is an alternative. Consider using IR remote apps as a remote for Insignia TV to control it without WiFi. Nonetheless, your phone should have a built-in IR blaster to control your Insignia TV using the IR remote app.

Run the IR remote app on your phone, pair it with your Insignia TV, and use the remote to go to settings and reset it. The following are some of the IR remote apps available for Insignia TV in the Play Store.

If you own an Insignia Fire TV, you can use the Power/Input button to access the recovery menu and reset the TV. To do so, unplug your Insignia TV cord from the power socket. Then, long-press the Power button for 3 seconds and simultaneously plug the power cord back into the power supply. Release the Power button, and the Insignia Fire TV logo will appear on your screen.
