  1. I’m surprised my Hisense doesn’t have a hard button for reset. My Hisense won’t go past the four dots on the loading screen. Currently trying to put in a ticket.

  2. My tv had a blue loading circle when after I turn it on. However, after it’s turned on, I cannot do any other functions to it whether it’s side buttons or remote. It is as though the tv is getting a command from somewhere else and never fully completes it, and it’s loading the command and I can’t do anything until it finishes it.
