Introduction

Recently, my 3D glasses would not pair with my TV. After days of research on the WWW, finding nothing but the same complaint, I suddenly had a very distant memory creep forward… find it’s way through the years of other … Stuff.

My Fix… Turn the TV off, and … very important second step. Disconnect the TV from the power source (unplug it from the wall socket) for 10-15 seconds. Plug it back in. Turn the TV back on.

Voilà, my TV is rocking 3D once again.

Step 1

              Turn off the TV.

Step 2

              Important: Unplug the TV from the Wall Socket also.               

Step 3

              Wait for 5-10 seconds.               

Step 4

              Plug the TV back into the wall socket.               

Step 5

              Turn TV back on.               

• In this day and age, the fix for everything is, ‘did you try turning it off and then back on?’ For most objects, especially those that don’t have an external power source, this works. However, for some electronics to reset their programming, take the extra step and unplug it.
