I've got a Samsung Smart TV, model UN43TU7000G, that got damaged during an unfortunate cat incident, and now the screen is completely dead. I'm planning to recycle it but want to erase all data first for security reasons. Does anyone know if there's a way to factory reset it without the screen, perhaps with a reset button or some hardware method? I've searched online but couldn't find a good manual, especially since there aren't any volume buttons on my TV.

One way to wipe your TV’s data is by opening it up and removing the main board. That’s where most data is stored. Just make sure you're careful when doing this, and maybe look up a tutorial to guide you through the process. It can be a bit tricky!
Yeah, I figured I'd have to go the hardware route. Smart TVs can be kind of a hassle sometimes!
