Today's smart TVs actually function like computers, with their own processor, RAM, and software. When you watch YouTube, Netflix, or other apps for hours, a lot of temporary data, or "cache," accumulates in the TV's background. This data fills up the cache memory, causing the TV to slow down and its performance to degrade. Sometimes the TV starts to lag, and the viewing experience becomes terrible. If your TV also hangs frequently, here's how you can make it super fast again in a few easy steps.

What is a Cold Boot?

The biggest problem is that when we turn off the TV with the remote, it doesn't completely shut down but goes into standby mode. During this time, electricity continues to flow through the TV's internal circuits, and the old cache data is not deleted, which gradually degrades the TV's performance and causes apps to crash. A cold boot is a process that completely cuts off the power to the TV, allowing it to reboot, clearing all the unnecessary data, and making the TV work quickly again.

Why is a Cold Boot necessary?

A cold boot clears the TV's temporary memory, removing the extra burden on the system. It completely cuts off the power from the main board, eliminating problems like freezing, slow response, and app crashes. After performing this, apps open faster, and the TV viewing experience becomes smoother.

An easy way to cold boot your smart TV

If your TV is hanging, follow these steps:
First, turn off the TV using the remote or the button on the TV.
Now, completely unplug the TV from the wall socket.
Leave the TV without power for about a minute.
Now, plug the TV back into the socket and power it on. You will find that your TV is now working much better than before.
