Hisense TVs have a reset button on only one platform: Hisense Roku TVs. It's a small recessed pinhole on the back, usually near the HDMI ports, labeled "RESET". On VIDAA, Google TV, and Fire TV models, there is no dedicated reset button — reset is done through the menu.

How do I reset a Hisense TV without a remote AND without a reset button?
Plug a USB keyboard into the TV's rear USB port. Or use the phone remote app. Last resort: hold the TV's physical power button for 60 seconds.
