I had to change my password on the WIFI (via COMCAST cust serv assistance) and had to reset all devices, My wifes cell, her tablet one smart TV and of course my new cell phone.

One TV refuses to obey the prompt to re-set and every page I go to indicates I am not connected (The device is not connected), but every other device is.

Can a smart TV become dumb ?

Aggravating because it is the LR TV we use during daytime for youtube instructionals. Any help would be appreciated.

I’d call the manufacturer.

Yes - and they post vanities, too.

It’s a computer, and it can be hacked, and can be infected with viruses.

My smart TV does that, too. There is a way to jump on the screen you need as it sets-up, I just can’t remember what it is . . .

I think you should turn the TV off and put on "Luxury Liner" by Emmylou Harris. This is a pretty awesome album and blows away whatever is on TV tonight.

Her cover of that Chuck Berry song is incredible but also her versions of "Pancho And Lefty" and "Making Believe."

I am confident that your tv didn’t pick the same moment that you changed your longstanding wifi password to die & go to heaven. these events seem related.

You could create a new WiFi network and login to the new network one device at a time

When complete delete the original network..

I avoid these problems by running everything I can on ethernet. I have lots of ethernet. All over the place. Built the house pre-wired for it.

unplug the tv, push and hold the power button for 10-15 sec. wait a few min 2-5 plug back in and see if the bios cleared. if it did it will act like the first time you plugged it in. Otherwise google your tv and look for hard reset. If all else fails can you plug it into your home network with a ethernet cable, and use that to update the wifi? Lastly look up the firmware version on the TV and see if there is an update, usually you can update with a usbstick. If everything else fails turn off all the other wifi devices reset the password and security settings to the previous settings and see if the tv connects. I just had my computer lose its wifi adapter, not in the hard ware list. reboots did nothing. had to do a hard reset before the adapter could even be seen by the system. TV’s are just limited link computers.

“One TV refuses to obey “

Sounds like a precursor to Skynet.

Go wired, not wifi.

You're asking the wrong guy. Seriously.

Unplug each device and leave it unplugged at least a minute. Then see if it’s any better. They’re never really unpowered so long as they’re plugged in and unpowering is the surest way to clear all the registers.
