press and hold the POWER button on the TV control panel for
several seconds to reset the TV. If the TV does not power off using
this method, unplug the TV from the AC wall outlet, and then plug
it back in.
If you cause a static discharge when touching the TV and the TV
fails to function, simply unplug the TV from the AC outlet, and
then plug it back in. The TV should return to normal operation.
