If your LG Smart TV is lagging, freezing, running slow, or apps keep crashing, I don’t want you jumping straight to a factory reset. In this video, I show you the proper way to do a full power cycle and restart on an LG TV, which fixes a lot of those “random” performance issues in just a few minutes. This is one of the easiest fixes you can do, and it refreshes the TV without wiping your settings like a reset would. Here’s exactly what I walk you through: turn the TV off with the remote, unplug it completely from the wall, then find the physical power button on the TV (usually bottom center, but sometimes bottom left or right). Press and hold that button for 30 seconds or more to drain the leftover electricity still sitting in the TV’s motherboard. After that, the key step is waiting 5–10 minutes before plugging it back in—I recommend the full 10 minutes for the best results. I also share a quick tip: avoid using a power strip if you can, and plug directly into a wall outlet for a more stable power connection.
