When experiencing problems with your LCD TV, including the television powering off unexpectedly, not receiving signals from your cable box or VCR, or functions not working properly, you don't have to ignore the problems or take the TV to a repair shop. LCD TVs are equipped with a reset function that returns the television to its original settings. Once your LCD TV is reset, test the television by accessing the various functions using the television's remote control or front panel buttons.
