You Deserve a Grammy, Emmy, Tony, VMA, Stellar Award, and a Nobel Peace Prize for all the lives you have changed with this tutorial today.. That "press hold, unplug, and let go" was the best instructions I ever received in my life!! I was almost in tears before I followed you step by step.. Thank you. 🙏🏽🙏🏽
I WAS ON HOLD WITH AMAZON TRYING TO GET HELP WHEN I GOT FRUSTRATED AND FOUND YOUR VIDEO. YOU DID IN 4 MINS WHAT THEY COULD NOT DO IN 38 MINUTES!!! THANK YOU
Just to echo everyone else, this video was a lifesaver. Brand New TV out of the box and the remote wouldn't pair no matter what I did. I followed this video and remote instantly connected. Thank you!
You’re an angel omg it worked! My mom’s TV was stuck and would go black. I was about to punch through the screen after three hours until I found this. Thank you so much!
OMG!! THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU!!!! This helped us TREMENDOUSLY. You have NO idea how close the tv was going to catapult out the window. Thank you so much. This video was very helpful! 😊
TYVM for this I work at a retirement community and this was our tv for our guest room and I got stumped. You and your video alone got me outta work on time today. Thank you 😊
You are an absolute godsend!! I just got this tv today, and I have no idea what I would have done if I didn't find this video! (Aside from launch the tv across the room)
Thanks sooo much!! I've been going nuts trying to reset a TV of mine. Looking at other sites Google recommended, none of them helped. So grateful I found your video; thanks again!
Watched several clips all giving the same bs but this guy what a champ ,to the point step by step guide brillant. and got my tv working after failed update aswell thank you champ.
I am an AirBNB owner And one of my clients who stayed at my rental home put her information into my TV and added her own pin I had issues with doing about everything on it and the client was little to no help, so grateful for you world tech you rock my TV is back up and running thanks to you and my daughter 😁❤️
THANK YOU! My Fire TV screen was dead and even with no screen, I followed your instructions and hard reset it. In the video your TV kept making the sound to select language for setup. I knew mine was fully reset when I saw the power light kept pulsating and after a few minutes, I heard that prompting sound from the TV because it wanted to be setup. Now I know I can get rid of the TV and all my personal information's been erased.
Nice. I just bought mine 2 yrs after ya made this and couldn't stand all th BS upon turning it on bc I just needed to dedicate it to inputs, so I wanted to put it back to Store Mode. I thot that would be simple enough, but I couldn't have done it w/out this vid... or $5 to chat w/a technician. So I spent th five bucks on a beer. Thank you.
Thank you so much! Just bought a insignia fire tv edition for our new home and thought I bought a defective TV. The remote wasn’t even letting me select the language…. You saved the day! Thanks again for your help! I am now a new subscriber! Thanks! 👍
1-10-24🎉😂 💃🏽Thank you, Thank! I was going to toss my TV. I had tried everything to include leaving it unplugged for weeks. Searched for a new video today for the heck of it & found his for the 1st time!! He says unplug TV. Continue to hold the power button as you REPLUG the TV. As soon as you see the fire TV screen logo let the power button GO! If you don't see the reset screen continue to try! It worked the second time because I let the power button go early enough. (This is different from all the OTHER instructions that say continue to hold the power button until the TV turns back on.) After the factory reset. The TV asked if I wanted to use my phone or remote to finish. It took two tries because my Internet is slow. Thankfully, my Amazon settings allowed me to restore everything on the TV💃🏽!💯
Very well done! I'm going to send this link to the Insignia person who tried to assist me. In my case, the remote still won't pair after all of that, but power/volume/back buttons work. "Searching for your remote" is as far as I get. Replaced the remote, new batteries :( You mentioned you might have another solution for that?
thank you for the video it was a god send.we called best buy and transfer to geek squad and put on hold twice for almost an hour and no one returned to assist us.i finally gave up and went to youtube and search "insignia remote not working" and found your video.i guest my two year warranty that i purchase is of no used to date.
THANK YOU!!!!!! (Bernie Mac voice) i started to curse out the web site!!!! But i didn't want no mother fucking problems. I seen all the damn different forums and different selections then my kids started getting bored and yelling and UA-cam came to mind!!!!! 4:25 seconds later!!!! I no longer need a drink. Thanks boss!!!!
Thank you so much!! I was so tired of watching Cocomelon on my TV. I had no idea what was wrong with my Babies tv. This took no time to fix. Thank you again 🙏🏾
I'm having the same issue. I have a replacement remote that worked fine until I had to factory reset, now it won't pair even after resetting the remote itself, the TV, and trying other replacement remotes. So frustrating that what was a perfectly functioning TV just a few days ago is now bricked and might need to be replaced.
Wow, this was incredibly helpful, thank you! I had just called Best Buy because my tv wasn't registering when I clicked down or the select button. The soonest Geek Squad could come out was next week. Watched your video and followed the steps and now it's working fine. Thank you again for saving me so much frustration!
Hi how do you get pst the searching for the remote screen? I have a Phillips remote that was previously paired with the TV. I did a factory reset and it let me choose my language but now I can’t bypass this screen.
Thank you for the instructions on resetting the Insignia FireTv. Worked and now I can't get past the Choose Your Language menu. The new firestick will not pair. It is only a firestick. Do you I need to get that little black box too, even though it is a smart tv?
I say thank you for this helpful information. I was wondering how I will fix the issue with my TV insignia and broken remote control. Thanks this video I had fixed it. Thank you again.
Followed your instructions to a tee. Everything is now working. Now, if I could only determine WHY the previously paired remote simply stopped working overnight, I would rest easy. Thanks!!
My remote didn't pair. Everything worked up until holding home button. Stayed on Searching for ur remote. Red power button blinking but nothing happen. PLEASE ADVISE
Mine is currently doing the same thing I can select the language and it say pair remote which is stupid cause I just used it to select language and that’s as far as I can get
I couldnt pair it with the fire tv controller i bought from best buy. It seems to work scrolling up and down and the volume but i can't get pass by serching remote
This is actually a problem that a lot of people have. Here's what i did. If your remote has alexa or the "search button then you're gonna wanna press that. It will take you to an app Downloader. You type "settings shortcut". It's gonna show you an app and you download. Wait for it to download and install then you click on it. Once it's done it should take you to the settings. You click on profile and you just need to click on your previous profile. Once that's done it will ask you to load all previously downloaded apps and saved wifi to the fire tv. And just like that it should start working. Atleast that's what worked for me. If you can't connect to the wifi I would suggest connecting an ethernet cable to the TV.
I don't have the original control what control you recommended i try to use the universal control but nothing it didn't let me choose the language but to reset it did work can you help ?
U need a fire tv remote to setup, after setup u can connect universal or fire tv remote app. U can buy insignia fire tv remote on amazon 2 for like $9.
I had to use an extension cord- Didn’t work first try, but it did the second. To pair my remote, hold the home key & the weird arrow key beside the home key down together for a count of 10- done. 🙏 🤩 Thx
My line never turned green. And the list of stuff under the group you were using to ‘wipe’ and ‘reset’ was so long you could scroll past the bottom! But I did get to the home button part of the instructions and holding that home button did nothing. Can’t get past this screen!! I held for 10, 30, even a minute…nothing. Even constant tapping did nothing. Got any other ideas?
Bro i dont have the remote that came with the tv and the tv has never been setup. I bought a “replacement” from best buy and it wont pair at all even using the steps that you state in the video. Can you help?!
Question if you have no remote and you did the factory reset and it’s stuck on language do you have to have a remote in order to proceed or is there a way to do it without the remote I’m just trying to change inputs
Can you set up a universal remote with it that was working with the tv until we performed the factory reset? Got the tv from a friend and the universal remote worked fine but needed to get rid of their information and did your reset, now it will not “find my remote” even through I can use it to power the tv on and change the language selection.
So I have a BRAND NEW tv that my employee threw away the original remote with the box. I tried this to sync the new matching remote to the tv, and I am still stuck with the screen searching for the original remote. Any advice?
I have a aftermarket remote that was working just fine with the TV prior to a factory reset and I followed your instructions but the process of holding down the home key on the remote for 10 seconds then wait for 1 minute and press for 10 seconds did not work. Any suggestions?
Is there a way to backup the TV settings and apps ? My search found instructions that do not work because the TV settings options do not have ones needed? Is there a "secret" way to access the backup/restore to Amazon function?
Is there a way to proceed on this menu without a remote? I bought an Insignia/Amazon Fire Tv Open Box from Best Buy. Is there a way to select English as the language without a remote?
How can I do this without the physical original remote? I've been using the virtual remote from fire tv app but now that I reset the tv to factory condition the digital app remote doesn't connect
I'm doing it as the video explains and it just turns on and it goes back to the fire tv loading screen..... I have a INSIGNIA fire tv model NS-32DF310NA19 Please help me
I was 2 minutes from throwing this crap in the garbage before seeing your video. Got it working again. Instructions were easy to follow. Thank you.

I’m literally annoyed. I don’t have a remote
Just purchased this TV and was having trouble with the set up
Your video helped us get it fixed! Thank you!
Bro, this video just saved me SOOOO much frustration trying to fix my mom's tv. I appreciate this a ton.
The only thing that would work on my tv was Netflix so I was stuck watching Netflix for a few weeks until I came across this video 😁 thank you !!
Really appreciate your effort behind this video. I got back my baby tv.

Great vid didn't need full factory reset but was informative. You should do unboxing/review videos for new products I would definitely watch that.
After a boatload of bad advice I stumbled on this vid. After two tries, the tv finally reset. Thank you!!!❤️🦋
The home button didn’t work for me, can you make another video showing another way please!
