But before we start the guide, please check the remote control of your TVIP box. In many cases, we saw that the problem was the TVIP remote control (and not the box).
How to Reset Factory Settings on Different Models of TVIP Boxes
We have two different methods to reset a TVIP box to factory settings. One method is for TVIP boxes with firmware version 3.8.6 or higher like TVIP 410, 412, 605, etc. The other method is for TVIP boxes with firmware versions less than 3.8.6.
Method 1: Resetting TVIP 410, 412, and 605 Models
Here we will learn how to reset TVIP boxes with firmware 3.8.6 or higher. On your remote control, first press “S.INFO”, then press “4”, then “9”, and finally press “S.INFO” again. After a second, you will see the message on the box: “Do you want to make a factory reset that will clear ALL settings?” Press OK to confirm it. Done!
You can use this method for all TVIP boxes after model 410 like TVIP 412, 415, 501, 605, 615, and 705.
Method 2: Resetting Older Models of TVIP Boxes
There are some older TVIP box models like 110, with firmware versions less than 3.6.8. The factory reset method for them is different. You need to press and hold the “Power” button on the remote control for 5 seconds and then press OK after you see the message on the box.
Common Issues and Troubleshooting
When the Reset Doesn’t Solve the Problem
In some cases, resetting a TVIP box might not resolve the issue. If this happens, check if there are any firmware updates available for your model. Updating the firmware can sometimes fix bugs and improve performance. Ensure that your internet connection is stable during the update process to avoid interruptions.
Remote Control Problems
Before deciding to reset a TVIP box, ensure that the remote control is working correctly. Often, problems may arise from a malfunctioning remote rather than the box itself. Try replacing the batteries or using a different remote if available.
