You should reset your Onn Roku TV when it frequently freezes, the apps are loading slowly or crashing, or it has trouble connecting to WiFi. If you have a remote, you can go to the advanced system settings on your Roku TV and reset it. In case of remote unavailability, use the TV’s reset button, the remote app, or a keyboard to reset your Onn TV. This guide provides all possible ways to reset the Onn TV to defaults.
Use the Reset Button to Reset Onn Roku TV Without Remote
On your Onn Roku TV, there is a separate reset button that is located at the back or bottom of the TV to perform a factory reset. The reset button may be tactile or pinhole, depending on the TV model. If the reset button on your Onn Roku TV is tactile, you can directly press the Reset button once to perform a factory reset. On the other hand, if your TV has a pinhole reset button, you need to use the sharp-needle-like object to press the Reset button.
If you have mounted your Onn Roku TV on the wall, you cannot access the Reset button that is located at the back. In that case, you can move to the next method to reset your Onn TV.
Use the Remote App to Reset Onn TV to Factory Settings
If you can’t access the Reset button, you can still reset your Onn TV using the remote app. There is an exclusive remote app called The Roku App that controls devices powered by Roku. Both iPhone and Android users can get the Roku app from the Play Store or App Store.
Once you install the app, sign in to your Roku account and pair your TV with the remote app. Remember, your TV will be paired with the app only if your smartphone and Onn Roku TV are connected to the same WiFi. Once you get the remote interface in the app, follow the steps below.
1. Go to the Settings menu from the home page of your Onn Roku TV.
2. Scroll down to the System option and select Advanced System Settings.
3. Tap Factory Reset and select Factory Reset Everything.
4. Next, enter the confirmation code that is displayed on your Onn TV and tap OK.
5. Then, select Factory Reset from the pop-up menu, and your Onn Roku TV will begin the resetting process.
If your Onn TV is not pairing with the remote app or if there is no WiFi connection, there is another way. Using the IR remote apps, you can control your Onn TV using infrared signals without a WiFi connection. However, your smartphone must have an IR blaster to use these remote apps. Some of the IR remote apps to control your Onn Roku TV are as follows.
After installing any of the IR remote apps, launch it on your smartphone. Then, using the remote interface, access Settings on your TV and perform a factory reset.
Factory Reset Onn TV Using a Wireless Keyboard
