If the issue persists, locate the factory reset button, often behind a pinhole or in the settings menu (refer to your user manual for guidance). Use a paperclip to press and hold for 10 seconds. Remember to consult the manual for model-specific instructions. If problems continue, contact customer support for further assistance.
