and hold the power button on the TV (40 seconds or longer) until it turns off and
restarts.

If the problem persists after step 1, unplug the TV power cord (mains lead) from the
electrical outlet. Then press the power button on the TV, and release it. Wait for 2
minutes, and plug the power cord (mains lead) back into the electrical outlet.

power button. Press the power button on the TV to display the operation menu, select
[Restart] in the menu, and then press and hold the power button to restart the TV.
Your personal settings and data will not be lost after the TV restarts.
