I would go through the steps to factory reset the box. We discuss the methods in here and you can find that with a quick search of the forum. If that doesn’t fix it, I chalk it up as a biproduct of producing these in mass. A certain number of them will be faulty. If it wasn’t long ago that you bought it, Walmart may just give you a new one free. If not, I wouldn’t worry and spend more than $20’s time trying to revive it, just grab a new one and you will be back up and running.

Yup, think that’s what I thought would be response. I agree. Can’t reset to factory ,cuz it wont boot up after the Google TV appears, just stays blank. Like I said Oh Well 20 bucks,no bigey :face_with_peeking_eye:

104

Have you tried pushing the little button on the back of the box?

Thanks for that feedback, appreciated much. Tried that , but that little button by hdmi is a quik pair for the remote. Tried it twice and got pair remote option, but no reset to factory. Only other thing i see on opposite side of hdmi is on/off power light. I will look again ,maybe I’m not seeing that reset button. Any case ,I’ll keep tinkering w/that box as a challenge. Maybe there’s a secret “buttons hold down” for factory reset like there is on firesticks, never know, these devices are pretty much made the same in a lot of ways. For sh…s n Giggles, it’s somethin to play around with

There absolutely is a Factory Reset. some of us here including me loaded the Wolf Launcher and then our ONN boxes bricked. I was about to take it back but then started playing around with the small button on the box while powering down and powering back up. I cannot remember exactly what I did but was able to factory reset it by some combination of holding down the small button on the box while powering down then back up. I believe the answer is somewhere here.

One of the first things I did was put on Wolf Launcher. It works better and and more stable than on my FS 4K Max. There is a reset button as you mentioned. I just got mine a few weeks ago. I’m quite happy with it.

109

If I remember correctly @MarkxG you power down the Onn then hold that button in and turn the power back on and keep holding the button down. Some say for 3 to 5 seconds. Then you’ll get some info on the screen and you have to click the button quickly to scroll through the options. I know there is a you tube vid here if someone does a search for “Factory reset 4K ONN box”.

Hey Miki, Thanx so much, u for sure got the right formula.I’m a master @ bringin up that reset option screen. Now I need to become a master of scrolling down 2 to reset to factory, will try try again another day, next yr. Every time i move off the button just a hair it disappears, can get it right back if i press button quik, just ca’t scroll :smiling_face_with_tear:

118

No scrolling, each quick click brings up an option, when factory reset appears hold the button down to choose that.
