The prompt

My smart TV is [slow / freezing / apps crashing / no sound / Wi-Fi drops]. Walk me through fixing it myself before I call service. TV: [brand and model, roughly how old]. Connected to: [Wi-Fi or cable, set-top box, soundbar]. When it happens: [on start, in one app, at night]. Go one step at a time, from quickest to most drastic, and wait for me to say whether it worked: 1. Power-cycle properly (unplug for a minute), check for software updates. 2. Clear cache or data for the problem app, uninstall apps I don't use, check free storage. 3. Turn off features that slow it down (auto-play, motion smoothing, ads or recommendations), if the menu has them. 4. Network: test speed on the TV, move the router or use a cable. 5. Factory reset only as a last step, and what I'll lose. If it's likely a hardware fault, say so and tell me what to tell the service centre. Don't suggest modifying the TV's firmware.
