Resetting your TV is one of those things that’s important to know how to do, even if you’re unlikely to do it all that often. And if you own a TCL Q6 QLED Google TV, luckily, we know how to do it. Why would you want to reset your TCL Q6? The most common reason would be that you are selling it or perhaps giving it to a friend or relative, because you don’t want your data to be on the board for the next person to see. (Even if it’s someone you know, it wouldn’t be great.)
However, another reason you might want to reset your TCL Q6 is if it’s acting up and not feeling quite right. Yes, it’s basically a computer with a big screen, but these things can ruin their lives sometimes, and the only way out seems to be to erase them completely. Bit rot is real, and there are ghosts in the machine.
The following is how to reset the TCL Q6 (and most other existing TCL televisions running Google TV for that matter), whether you’re using it in Basic mode, or with your Google account.

Step 6: Another confirmation: this time you must enter a four-digit number. (It will be different than what you see here.) Enter it, then sit back and let the TV do its thing.
