Most faults are usually going to lead to switch off and switch on again choices but we ought to delay the switch on for a while to help clear out existing memory of the data that isn’t working. Some equipment will offer a reset button or a tiny reset option on the back panel or underneath the equipment. Sometimes there are remote control actions or Menus or SubMenu actions required. A total reset is something to avoid if possible. Google and YouTube will offer us various tricks and tips and even remote control codes such as for Sky remotes and their different version numbers as well as the brand and model of the TV and whatever code or codes might work.

Some gurus on YouTube has offered us incredible workarounds when things go wrong, yet these may be updated later and improved so we need to keep note of what the video description is and the identity of the person offering us such details. Computers can save such content as a complete website web page or bookmark the web page for us as a favourite.

Service manuals are available as PDF files and these can be studied better if we increase the zoom value eg from 100% to 150% instead.

Otherwise, we could spend a fortune on expensive Helpline numbers if no 0800 alternatives exist.
