How to restart a Samsung TV: Overview

Restarting your Samsung TV can help resolve temporary glitches, improve performance, and ensure smooth operation. Unlike a factory reset, a restart does not erase your settings, apps, or data; it simply refreshes the system to eliminate issues like lag or unresponsiveness. This guide will provide step-by-step instructions on how to restart your Samsung TV, helping you enjoy an uninterrupted viewing experience.

Step-by-step guide: How to restart a Samsung TV

  • 1. Soft restart using the remote: Press and hold the ‘Power’ button on your remote control until the TV powers off and turns back on. This soft restart refreshes the TV system without affecting any settings.
  • 2. Unplug and power cycle: Unplug your TV from the power outlet, wait for 30 seconds, and then plug it back in. Press the ‘Power’ button to restart the WebOS TV.
  • 3. Use the TV's menu settings: Navigate to ‘Settings’ > ‘Support’ > ‘Self Diagnosis’ > ‘Reset’ and select ‘Restart TV’. This option may vary depending on your model.
  • 4. Access ‘Device Care’ settings: If available, go to ‘Settings’ > ‘Device Care’ > ‘Self Diagnosis’ and choose ‘Restart’ for a system refresh.

Troubleshooting common issues: How to restart a Samsung TV

If you face issues while trying to restart your Samsung TV, here are some troubleshooting tips:

  • 1. TV not responding to remote commands: If your TV does not respond to the remote, ensure that the batteries are working properly. If the problem persists, try resetting the remote by removing the batteries, pressing the power button for 10 seconds, and then reinserting the batteries. Alternatively, use the physical buttons on the TV itself to restart.
  • 2. Restart does not solve the issue: If restarting does not fix the problem, consider performing a factory reset, but remember this will erase all settings and data. Go to ‘Settings’ > ‘Support’ > ‘Self Diagnosis’ > ‘Reset’. Only use this option if other troubleshooting methods fail.
  • 3. TV freezes or becomes unresponsive: If your TV is frozen or not responding to any input, unplug it from the power source, wait for about 30 seconds, and then plug it back in. Power the TV on to check if the issue is resolved.
  • 4. Network or app issues after restart: If your TV is facing network issues or app glitches even after restarting, ensure that your software is up to date. Go to ‘Settings’ > ‘Support’ > ‘Software Update’ to check for the latest updates.
