Reset older analog tv

Need to know if it is possible to reset tv to original factory settings
without original remote. Downloaded a copy of the manual, and it shows
that the original remote had a reset button.

    Thanks, I tried pressing buttons while plugging in with no success. I had previously gotten all

    channels to display, but channel 43 on down to 2 were a little fuzzy. Know of any place to get an

    original remote?

Hi,

Without the original remote, sorry none. You could try pressing on any of the buttons or a combination while plugging in the unit but that is no guarantee it will reset (fully). With your indulgence, I took the liberty of checking your other posts here and here. It would seem that your original concern is that although the TV would appear to be switching to the lower channels (Ch 2-6), the TV programs on those channels would not be displayed. If yes, then I am inclined to think that there is a hardware fault internal to the TV. This would be the tuner block. The reset, even if successful, would not correct this error.

Just a start, do postback how things turned up or should you need additional information. Good luck and Thank you for using FixYa.

    Some channels being received not as good as the others would indicate an uneven signal. Might it be a problem with your cable provider? or antenna direction if using an aerial?

    For the remote pls try here or here.

You need a remote with the i+ button. Go into the service mode by pressing 062596i+ and put the set into factory mode and then select STORE. After a reset of the power the tv will be in the normal analog mode.

Element tv eleft422

Without its remote control, you can't do a system reset to this set.
Try a Hard Reset to this set, and then check.
There are two methods to reset TVs. The first is simple to do; a Hard Reset. The other is somewhat skilled; is a Factory Reset (System Reset). To make it a hard reset, just unplug the TV from AC mains wall socket, and re-plug it back after 15 minutes or so. If you do this by overnight is better. This procedure will make it a hard reset. If you want to make it a system reset [Factory Reset]; you have to enter its service mode option, and select the factory reset option. If you wish to get some details; check the site linked here. Pull up older posts.
https://electronicshelponline.blogspot.com/
Service mode entry, adjust and exit procedure to many popular brand TVs are given. Never forget to exit the service mode, after all adjustments have been done.
If a hard reset do not help, you should buy its original remote control from its authorized service center.

Factory reset without remote

You must have its original remote control do do a factory reset, because, there is no other way to enter its service mode, without its original remote control. A universal remote won't do.

If it was not an automatic update it might be possible by doing a factory reset. However you WILL LOSE ALL data not saved onto a memory card. your contacts should redownload after entering your gmail.

  1. From the Start Screen, press the Menu button and select Settings.
  2. Select SD & phone storage.
  3. Select Factory data reset.
  4. Select Reset phone.
  5. You will be prompted again, and select Erase everything.

Basically all it takes to restore the TV to factory setting is to unplug the TV from power and all connecting cables for about 3-5 hours (depending upon your model). This is called a Hard Reset and should restore the TV back to factory defaults.
