Is It Possible to Reset the Hisense TV Without a Remote?
Yes, resetting your Hisense Smart TV without a remote is possible. While using the remote is the most straightforward way to reset your TV, there are alternative methods that can be used if the remote is unavailable or not working. Below are some of the ways to reset the Hisense Smart TVs without a remote.
Use Hisense TV Remote Apps
One of the best ways to reset the TV without a remote is by using remote apps. To use a remote app for your Hisense TV, first, download the appropriate app based on your TV’s operating system from the Google Play Store or Apple App Store on the phone.

Note: You can also use the RemoteNow app for all Hisense TV OS models. For Android phones, you need to sideload this app.
Ensure that both your Hisense TV and smartphone/tablet are connected to the same WiFi. Open the app, select your TV from the available devices, and pair the app to the TV.
Once connected, you can use your phone to control the TV, including navigating menus, adjusting volume, typing, using voice search (if supported), and turning the TV on/off. Go to the System settings on your TV using the remote app and reset the device to its factory settings.

The reset button is available only on Hisense Roku TVs. To use the reset button, you will need a pointed object, such as a paper clip or pen.
