How To Fix A JVC TV Stuck On Logo

Is your JVC TV stuck on the logo and it doesn’t get past it? This is a common problem and some people managed to fix it temporarily because the reason varies from one user to another, before thinking about complaining and getting mad at the company remember that even the best brands like Samsung or LG make mistakes too, so be patient and think wisely and try the tips mentioned below before contacting the customer support.

Try this first

It’s called power cycling or soft reset, I’m really not sure about the correct naming but that doesn’t matter, what matters is this trick is super easy and fixes “some” problems that you might have faced or will face in the future, so make sure to try this trick first before proceeding to the next tips.

1. Unplug the TV from the wall and press the power button for about 30 – 60 seconds to let the capacitors inside discharge completely (The power button could be found at the bottom or on the side).
2. Turn the TV back on and check if the problem is fixed.

Restore the TV’s normal function

This procedure is used to change the operating mode and it’s suggested by a tech expert on the DIY Forums, here are the steps he mentioned:

1. Unplug the TV or remove AC power from the TV.
2. Count to ten, then plug in the TV.
3. Locate the Menu, Vol-, and Power buttons on the TV’s side panel.
4. Using the buttons on the TV’s Side Panel, press and hold both the Menu and Vol- buttons.
5. While holding those buttons, press and release the Power button one time and count to 3 before releasing the Menu and Vol- buttons.
6. The TV’s lower left Blue Power LED will come ON.
7. Wait 30 seconds. Confirm that the blue LED on the Lower Left of the TV (not the iPod dock for iPod models) has remained ON during this time.

a. The TV may have turned ON. If so, continue at step 12 b. If the Blue LED on the TV’s Lower Left corner remained ON, continue to step 8.

8. After confirming that the Blue LED is ON, unplug the TV or remove the AC power from the TV.

a. If the Blue LED on the TV’s Lower Left corner is flashing, restart the procedure from step 3

9. Count to 10, then plug in the TV.
10. The TV power should automatically come ON but no picture will appear. Only the blue power LED will be ON.
11. Wait 40 seconds and the TV picture should appear.
12. When the TV picture appears, you may begin normal use of the TV.

Hard reset your JVC TV 

If the above trick doesn’t work out for you then you should try hard resetting your TV, the reset process shouldn’t be difficult either, first, make sure the TV is on while you’re doing this, second, look for a button that says Reset or a hole, if it’s a button, press it for about 30 seconds until the TV resets, if it’s a hole then grab a pen or a needle and stick it into it and wait for 30 seconds until it fully resets.

If you don’t have a reset button or a hole then you should use your remote, here’s how:

1. Press the menu button on the remote.
2. Select Setup.
3. Select Reset.
4. Wait for a few minutes.

If you can’t the above options, it’s because every model or remote is different, instead try following these steps:

1. Press the menu button on the remote.
2. Select Settings.
3. Select Storage and Reset.
4. Select Factory data reset.
5. Select Erase Everything.

10. Next, you’ll see a black screen that says updating. Wait for this process to finish, and you’re all done. The TV may turn itself off once finished, so you’ll just need to turn it back on again.
