Causes for Hisense TV Stuck on USB Mode

Here are the key factors that affect your Hisense TV and result in getting stuck on the USB mode.

• Defective USB Drive
• Improper USB connection
• Issues on the USB Port
• System Bugs

Flawed USB Drive

If your Hisense TV screen is stuck in USB mode, check the USB flash drive as the first thing. If data in the USB drive is corrupted, it will get stuck after connecting to your Hisense TV.

Solution

As a primary troubleshooting method, you must immediately change the input of your Hisense TV to flee from the USB mode. To do this, you need to press the Input button on your remote controller. After that, choose any HDMI or TV from the input to exit the mode. However, if you face issues with changing the input using the remote control, locate the input button on your Hisense TV to proceed further.

Now, remove the USB flash drive from your Hisense TV and connect it to your Windows or Mac PC. Flash the USB drive and re-upload only the respective files that you want to access on your Hisense TV. After some time, re-connect the USB drive to your Hisense TV and check whether you can access the local files. If you are still facing the issue, move on to the next troubleshooting method.

Issues on the USB Port

Any physical damage to the USB port might also cause your Hisense TV to get stuck in USB mode.

Solution

Usually, Hisense TV has two or three USB ports. If one is damaged, you can use the other port to access your local files on your Hisense TV.

Unfortunately, if your Hisense TV has only one port, then you have to contact a nearby technician to fix the port ASAP.

System Bugs

Finally, system bugs or glitches play a major role in affecting the TV’s performance and can also cause your Hisene TV to get stuck in USB mode. So, you need to eliminate those bugs and glitches from your Hisense TV either by performing a soft or hard reset.

Solution

For temporary bugs, the first thing you need to do is restart your Hisense Smart TV to eliminate those errors. For that, you can locate the Power button on your Hisense TV and hold it for 10 seconds straight. Release the button once the screen turns off. After a while, turn on your Hisense TV and check if the issue has been solved.

However, if the issue still persists when you change the input to USB, then it’s time to factory reset your Hisense TV to the default settings. Because, compared to other troubleshooting measures, a factory reset has the highest possibility of resolving the issue.

After a successful reset, the issue of Hisense TV being stuck on USB mode will be rectified, and you can access your desired video and audio content from your USB flash drive.

Contact Customer Care

In the meantime, if you sense any flaw in the internal hardware, then contact Hisense TV customer support and address the issue. The experts will guide you through the possible methods for resolving the problem. Meanwhile, if your Hisense TV falls under warranty, you can claim it for a free service or replacement.
