Signs and Causes of Software Failures
There are a number of reasons that can lead to software glitches. The first of them is changing an outdated firmware version to a new one. This usually indicates the unsatisfactory quality of the installed software. In this case, it is enough to update the version to the latest one when it appears. But sometimes the connection is broken during the download, or the user installs the wrong firmware from third-party developers. The result of such actions is a system failure.
A voltage drop is the next reason why the TV receiver does not work or is not functioning properly. This happens if the equipment is not connected to a voltage stabilizer or at least to a surge protector. Then software glitches are the least consequence of a surge in electricity, in the worst case, the TV receiver can burn out.
Children’s pranks, as well as incorrect user actions are another likely cause of system failures that cannot be fixed. In some cases, resetting the remote control, carried out by removing the batteries, and then reconfiguring the TV receiver, helps. But often the parameters of the equipment are so knocked down that problems can be eliminated only by restarting the TV to factory settings.
Incorrect installation of applications or loading widgets from unverified sources is the next reason that the TV is frozen or shows other signs of unstable operation.
As a result of these and other reasons, the TV panel works so badly that the only solution to the problem is to reboot it, or, in other words, reset it to factory settings. This is an extreme measure, and after it you will need to re-configure the work of the SMART TV receiver for yourself: log in, search and sort channels, activate pre-installed and install additional applications, and so on.
