Hard Reset the Proscan TV using a Keyboard or Mouse
Most Proscan TVs have a built-in USB port on the back panel. Plug a keyboard or mouse dongle into it. As a result, a cursor will appear on the Proscan TV screen. Using the cursor, you can reset the Proscan TV in the following way.

Factory Reset the Proscan TV using the Remote App
In the absence of a keyboard or mouse, you can use your Android or iPhone as the TV remote. Ensure your Proscan TV and mobile phone are connected to the same WiFi. Then, install the remote app on your smartphone and pair it with the Proscan TV. Use the control icons in the app to open TV settings and reset your Proscan TV.
| Proscan TV Model | Remote App |
|---|---|
| webOS TV | LG ThinQ App (Play Store | App Store) |
| Roku TV | The Roku App (Play Store | App Store) |
Use IR remote apps if you own an old Proscan TV or are resetting the TV to resolve WiFi issues. Initially, install the IR remote app and choose a remote in it. Then, press the icons in the IR remote app to go to your Proscan TV settings and reset it.
Restore the Proscan TV to Defaults using TV Buttons
Most Proscan TVs have physical buttons (Power, menu, input, etc) on their panel. However, some TVs carry a dedicated Reset button on their panel. Fortunately, resetting the Proscan TV is possible using the TV Menu or Reset button. Identify your Proscan TV button type and follow the process.
- Proscan TV with power, menu, etc – Press the Menu button to open TV Settings → Navigate to the Reset settings using Volume or Channel buttons and confirm the resetting process using those buttons.
- Proscan TV with Reset button – Hold the Reset button or insert a paperclip into a reset pinhole for 10 seconds → The TV will start the resetting process.
Using these alternatives, you can restore the Proscan TV to factory defaults. However, if you are comfortable resetting the TV using a remote, use a universal remote. To do this, you must program it with the Proscan TV using remote codes.
