Hey folks! I'm having a problem with my Element TV (model E2SW5018). It's stuck on the 'Please Run Channel Auto Scan' screen, and all I see is static in the background. I've tried unplugging the TV, using the buttons on the device itself, and even trying a generic remote, but I can't seem to find any source button to change the input manually. Is there any way to get past this scan screen or perhaps a hidden reset combination that could help? Any advice would be greatly appreciated!

You might want to try performing a factory reset if you haven't. Usually, you can access this option by holding down the power button on the TV for about 10 seconds. It's kind of a hidden trick on many models! If that doesn't work, double-check all the connections and make sure everything is securely plugged in.
If you haven't done so already, definitely check out the user manual for your TV model. That's usually the first step for troubleshooting issues like this. Sometimes they mention specific button combinations that can help reset things or change the input source. It's worth a shot!
Just a heads-up, if you do a factory reset, you might lose any saved settings, so keep that in mind before trying it.
