My magic remote and my Roku remote stopped working for turning off power so I performed a factory reset after troubleshooting to get the remote working.  I am now stuck at the 1st screen of the Factory Reset which says "Press the OK Button(wheel) on your remote."  Well... this really stinks because the remote doesn't work!!!  I have tried a USB mouse, a new magic remote, other LG Remotes with no luck.  I have also tried using the button on the bottom of the tv.  And, I contacted support which was just an exercise in redoing everything I had already tried... No Luck!!

This is a Nano Cell 55NANO81ANA which is basically just a big brick now since I cannot even use any of the inputs.  Does anyone have a trick for getting past this initial screen???

Thanks for the help.

Having the same issue with my OLED77A1PUA, did you ever figure this out?

Hello

Exactly the same issue on 49SM8600 and did same operations but still stuck w/o access to apps menu, settings menu, ....

Did you find a workaround or a fix ?

 

I wonder if this operation could help to reset bluetooth module :

No, I still have no work around. This is killing me, the TV is just $2,000 brick and it's impossible to return now.... I can not believe you can not get the TV to accept an input without going through the "Press the okay button" screen. I've tried 5+ remotes and many many hard resets, I think the IR receiver at the bottom is broken (I have no red light with the TV on or off). I'm using this as a display so I don't need the remote to work.... If someone has a work around to get past the "press the okay button" screen and get the TV to accept an input that would be very helpful.

If you connect an USB mouse you will be able to click on the OK button. Configure wifi just after clicking to have a chance then to use an app on your smartphone as a remote. I didn't and now i just have LG chanles w/o any other menu and no possibility to reset again. Magic remote and bluetooth handling is a big shit on LG TV.

All,  

I was at an airbnb and the LG TV had the message to hit the OK Wheel button.  Didn't work.  All the remote would do was turn on and off the TV.  Also the bottom button would only do the same.  Basically stuck in set up mode.  

I did plug a Corded Mouse into it and it allowed me to hit the OK Wheel Button.  It was by clicking down on the scroll wheel on the mouse.  That only got me to the next step and I was stuck again as I couldn't go up and down.  

Solution (for me) is I plugged a wireless keyboard (I'm sure wired would work) and then used the up and down keys and the enter button to finish running through the setup.  

I hope this helps.  I don't have an account on this site.

My LG Nano75 50" 4K Ultra HD LED Smart TV got stuck on the Quick Access screen right after the last update. I spent several fruitless hours on forums and trying all the fixes to no avail. In a fit of pique, I mashed all the keys together and the screen is now cleared and the tv is working again.

Yes hold the power button at tv and remote wheel at same time

It did not work on my oled65c2 tv. I have replaced all boards twice. Is there normally a standby or power light close to switch?

TV comes on immediately upon plugging in with instructions to press wheel on remote.

Same issue here and I just figured it out myself, connect it to a keyboard, plug it up and it works just did it this morning I was stuck on the same screen, tried 30 different remotes and a mouse and nothing happened until I plugged the keyboard and it worked. Try it!

I found mine to be sort of self inflicted. It seems lg decided to use flip up disconnect for all ribbon connectors except the one that goes to power switch/ IR. It is opposite so it was essentially disconnected. After I found that, everything worked. Thanks for response.

Has anyone been in the tv?  If this tv is like mine (oled65c2) then it is not getting the 3.5v to the power switch/IR module

According to my experience, you must first  

<a href="https://rokuinsider.com/clear-cache-on-roku/">clear cache on Roku TV with or without remote</a>

  and then do a factory reset, if possible reboot your Roku device and see how it goes.

      For the love of... please allow me to turn off that annoying remote pointer on the tv
      By u84six
      I haven't searched this forum, but there has to be others who find that tv remote pointer to be extremely annoying. I'm actually surprised that we still can't turn that feature off. Having the cursor/pointer feature isn't even close to the importance of being able to shut off. I mean, how hard is to put one checkbox in the ui to toggle the feature on or off? It seems like a no-brainer, big bang for the buck change that many users would appreciate

      How do I get my voice recognition to work again
      By Calvinder
      A couple days ago My LG Oled voice recognition stopped working.
      If I speak to it it just says "Voice not recognized"
      I have tried many things I found online to fix this issue with no luck.
      One suggestion was to go to Settings>all settings>general>AI Service>Voice recognition service and change to LG ThinQ.
      But the  Voice recognition service tab is gone. There is only voice recognition settings tab 
      I would rather not have to reset to factory settings unless there is a way to save / export my current seating's
      Any suggestions  

      Thanks

      No cursor appearing using magic remote
      By leodavid
      Hi,
      I've recently purchased a WebOS TV UK6400PVC and magic remote came with it. The software version is 4.10.30.
      The buttons work fine but for some reason, I can't get the cursor to appear on screen.
      Appreciate the help. Thanks

      Help! "Factory Mode: Press INSTOP to go to User mode" is floating across my screen
      By Peter Payne
      I have a LG CX 55 2023 TV and like it. I use it for work, and the dimming-after-1-minite feature is super frustrating. So I used the instructions here (
      link hidden, please login to view) to turn off TPC, GSR and scrolling. It worked well and I was happy. But when the TV turns on a few hours, I've got an ugly window saying "Factory Mode: Press INSTOP to go to User Mode. Press Green Key 7 times to go to User Mode (user remote control.)
      I hate this menu, and I hate having the ability to turn off zoom on a TV I'm using for work or youtube. Can anyone help me solve this issue and get rid of the monitor? I have another LG TV purchase on hold while I determine if there's a way to do this to my satisfaction or not. If they really have messed up LG TVs by making no way to turn off the dimming, I will also find a way to return my current TV to Costco despite having used it for six months. 
      When I tried this before, I learned that the INSTOP button will do a complete factory reset. This is NOT what I want, unless I really have no way to turn off the dimming. In which case I will cancel my other LG monitor purchase and make other plans.
