TCL TV stuck on remote control picture on screen

by Michou82

Hey guys, Recently bought a 65" TCL TV 65C715K and it suddenly showed me that picture when i turn it on. Impossible to access the UI or reset factory. I thought it was an issue with the bluetooth remote control pairing so i bought a new remote control but still, can't pass that screen. Has anyone seen this? Can someone help?

Have you actually tried pressing the highlighted buttons to pair the remote?

Hi, I have now the same issue! Did you solved it by any chance?

Ok so it seems that it is a system issue. I contacted TCL and they forwarded me a software update that i downloaded into a USB drive. Instruction was to plug the drive to the TV and restart by holding the power button until light flashes.

TV updated automatically and i was able to restart and re-configure the TV.

However, there was no sound and the app downloaded (Shopify, Disney+, etc...) could not load or were crashing. I tried to power off the TV with the remote, but it got stuck again on the "power off" screen.

So i called TCL again and they are now sending a technician (dont know when yet)

Voila voila...

That looks like a picture of an Apple TV remote. Do you have an Apple TV hooked up to your TCL TV by any chance?
