To factory reset a TCL TV with a black screen without a remote, locate the reset button on your TV. It's usually found on the back or bottom of the TV. Press and hold this button for about 10-12 seconds. Release the button once the TV starts resetting. If your model doesn't have a physical reset button, unplugging the TV from the electrical outlet for approximately 15 minutes can also initiate a 'soft' reset. This method won't remove personal data but can help restart the system. For a full factory reset, using a universal remote may be necessary.
