How do I fix my TV showing a black screen after my son pressed a remote button?

I have a JVC smart TV, and it seems to be functioning normally except that there's no picture. My son pressed a button on the remote, and now whenever we try to play anything, we just see a black screen. The TV is still responsiveโ€”we can navigate menus and select apps like Netflix, but there's just no image. I think it might be an easy fix, but my wife and I are at a loss. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!

Have you tried navigating to the settings and doing a factory reset? Just a heads up, it will erase all your settings, but it might solve the issue.

Haha, sounds like your son really knew how to press the right button! But seriously, can you share a picture of the remote? That might help us figure out what happened.

Itโ€™s worth checking if turning the TV off and then back on helps. Sometimes a simple reset can fix display issues. If that doesnโ€™t work, there might be a setting that got changed accidentally.
