How To Turn On An Onn Tv Without Remote

Okay, let's be honest. We've all been there. The remote is MIA. Vanished. Poof! And all you want to do is watch some reality TV.

The Dreaded Onn TV, Remote-less

You stare at your Onn TV. It stares back. A silent standoff ensues. You need to watch that show. Desperately.

But fear not, fellow binge-watcher! There's hope. Even without that pesky remote.

First, a little reconnaissance mission. Time to scout for the buttons. They exist! Somewhere. Probably.

Typically, these buttons are hidden. Maybe on the back. Or the side. Feel around. Like a blindfolded explorer.

I know, I know. Who puts buttons on the back of a TV? It's a design choice. A questionable one, in my unpopular opinion.

You're looking for the power button. The holy grail. It might be labeled. It might not. Good luck!

Press it. Once. Firmly. Don't mash it. These buttons aren't known for their durability. Be gentle.

Did it work? Hallelujah! If not, try again. Maybe you mashed it after all.

Sometimes, there's only one button. One. To rule them all. (Okay, maybe just to turn on the TV.)

This button is usually multi-functional. Press it once for power. Press it again for...something else. Who knows?

Expect to cycle through inputs. Prepare for a brief tour of every port your Onn TV has to offer.

It's a bit of a gamble. But hey, at least you're doing something.

So, you've turned it on! Success! Now what about the channels? Forget streaming, you want to see *live* TV!

Those buttons you found? Yeah, they probably control the volume and channels too. Prepare for slow scrolling. Very slow.

This is where the remote-less experience gets real. You'll appreciate the simplicity of digital navigation.

Okay, okay. Let's be honest. No one watches over-the-air TV anymore. You want Netflix. I get it.

If you have a streaming device already plugged in, you're in luck! Some devices turn on automatically when the TV does.

Fingers crossed your Roku or Fire Stick is feeling cooperative. It's all up to the tech gods now.

Here's a radical idea: buy a universal remote. I know, I know. It defeats the purpose of this article.

But think about it. You'll never have to hunt for those mysterious buttons again. Peace of mind. It's priceless.

Or...just find the original remote. It's probably under the couch cushions. Or in the fridge. (Don't ask.)

Turning on an Onn TV without a remote is an adventure. An exercise in patience. A test of your sanity.

But hey, at least you're not bored. And you're one step closer to watching that show. Good luck, and may the odds be ever in your favor!

And remember, sometimes the best viewing experiences are the ones you have to fight for. Even if it's just against your own Onn TV.
