In this guide, we’ll show you how to do a hard reset on your Hisense TV without the remote. Let’s jump right into it.
A remote is an essential part of the Hisense TV viewing experience. Like other smart TV remotes, it is designed to offer full control over the TV.
In addition to the familiar functions like volume and power, Hisense remotes offer navigation to menu functions and settings, input selection, and advanced features like quick access to your favorite content streaming apps like Netflix.
However, you may encounter a time when your remote is misplaced or broken and you need to know how to reset Hisense TV without a remote.
In this guide, we’ll show you how to do a hard reset on your Hisense TV without the remote. Let’s jump right into it.
A soft reset will not delete any of your personal data or preferences, so it is the first logical step you should try if your remote is lost.
First, unplug the Hisense TV from the power outlet.
Press the physical power button for at least 30 seconds to power cycle the TV.
Plug the power cord back into the outlet and turn on the TV.
Check if the TV is working as normal. If not, all you can do is the factory reset your Hisense TV to its default settings.
Luckily, most of the Hisense TVs come with a reset button that you can find at the back of your TV labeled simply as ‘Reset’.
Follow these steps to hard reset your Hisense TV:
Many Hisense TVs are compatible with the RemoteNOW app that allows you to control your TV using your smartphone.

But there is a caveat, your Hisense TV and smartphone should be connected to the same network.
So you can only proceed with this method if your model has an ethernet port (Worry not, most of the models do), and you can get your hands on an ethernet cable.
Your Hisense TV might restart once or twice as the reset process takes place in the background. Once it is done, all your data and preferences will be deleted.
We hope this guide was helpful and you were able to reset your Hisense TV without the remote. It is highly recommended that you try soft reset first as it doesn’t delete any of your important data (Netflix Login Details).
As you will always need a remote to set up the TV, it seems illogical to reset the Hisense TV without having the remote on hand unless you are giving it away or selling it.
The RemoteNow app is a solid workaround, but you will need an ethernet cable for it.
