The newer models of Hisense TV do not have a reset button on the front of the TV. And as you probably know, there is no reset button on the back.

Turn on your Hisense TV and navigate to Menu by pressing the “MENU” button.
Proceed, By selecting “Support” with the “Select” or “OK” button.
Now, Start the self-diagnosis by pressing “OK”.
Choose the “Reset” option now.
For confirmation, you will need to enter the security PIN (default is “0000”).
Now wait for completion and your Hisense TV will restart itself and after that, you will be able to use it.

Once that is done, your Hisense Smart TV will be restored to factory settings.

How do you reset an older model of the Hisense Smart TV?

If you have an old Hisense Smart TV from a few years ago (2014), you may have been experiencing trouble watching videos. When the TV is turned on, a grey screen appears and you cannot do anything. Or you might face other issues as well with it.

Luckily doing a hard reset and restoring the settings to factory default solves almost all of them.

Here are the steps through which you will be able to Factory Reset Hisense Old TVs:

Using your remote control, turn on your Hisense TV and then hold the ‘EXIT’ key for at least 15 seconds
After 15 seconds, you will see the Hisense TV factory service menu
Finally, click ‘OK’ to turn off the TV

After resetting your Smart TV, you should wait for 20 seconds before turning it on.

How to Reset Hisense TV without Remote?

Ensure that all external hard drives and USB cables are disconnected
Disconnect your Hisense Smart TV’s power cord after turning it off.
After unplugging the TV, wait up to 15 minutes before plugging it in again

After this turn on the TV back and let it get stable before using it again or giving commands.

Also, More importantly, I have found a much better reset than the above reset method without a TV remote and after trying that I saw that whilst the above steps do a Soft Reset to Hisense TV but with the other steps I saw a complete Power Reset along with Soft Reset.

As that is a good way to reset the Hisense Smart TV without remote control, I have created another guide that is helpful to fix other issues as well.
