This process works if you do not have a TV remote. First, unplug your Samsung or LG Smart TV. Wait for at least 30 seconds. Plug your TV back in and turn it on. Now check if the error is still there.

If you are cold booting through your plug, it is ideal if you power cycle your other devices such as your modem and router.
