3. Enter Recovery Mode:
   • Hold the Reset button using a paperclip or similar tool.
   • While holding the button, reconnect the TV to the power source.

Option 2: Using the Remote

1. Turn Off the TV.
2. Enter Recovery Mode:
   • Press and hold a specific combination of buttons on the Roku remote (e.g., Home + Power or Home + Back). Refer to your TV’s manual for the exact sequence.

4. After the reset, follow the on-screen instructions to set up the TV.

5. Troubleshooting Issues in Recovery Mode

• Recovery Mode Doesn’t Load:
  • Ensure you’re holding the correct button or using the right sequence.
  • Unplug the TV for 5–10 minutes before trying again.
• Stuck on Recovery Screen:
  • Perform a power cycle by unplugging the TV, waiting 60 seconds, and plugging it back in.
  • Retry the reset or firmware update.

6. After Recovery

• Once the TV is restored, reconnect it to the internet and check for system updates:
  • Go to Settings > System > System Update and select Check Now.

7. Contact Manufacturer Support

If the issue persists:
