If your Infinix Smart TV keeps restarting unexpectedly, it can be more than just an annoyance; it disrupts your entertainment and hints at deeper underlying issues. As experts in smart TV repair and maintenance, we’ve encountered this problem numerous times. Whether it’s a software hiccup or a hardware defect, there’s always a logical explanation—and a solution. In this article, we’ll walk you through the potential causes of this issue and provide practical steps to fix it. Plus, we’ll explain when it’s time to seek professional help to restore your TV to its optimal performance.
- Software Glitches or Firmware Issues
Modern smart TVs rely on a bit complex software to operate. A glitch in the software or outdated firmware could cause your TV to restart unexpectedly. These issues often arise when there’s a bug in the system or the software isn’t compatible with certain apps or external devices.
How to Fix:
- Update the Software:
- Go to your TV’s settings menu and check for software updates. Installing the latest firmware can often resolve bugs and improve system stability.
- Ensure your TV is connected to the internet for downloading updates.
- Factory Reset:
- If the issue persists after a software update, consider performing a factory reset. This will restore the TV to its original settings, eliminating any corrupted files or settings causing the problem. Navigate to Settings > System > Reset and follow the on-screen instructions. (Remember to back up any important settings or data before doing this.)
- Remove Problematic Apps:
- Certain apps may not be optimized for your TV’s software and could cause system instability. Uninstall any recently downloaded apps that might be triggering the problem.
- Faulty Power Supply or Connection Issues
Your TV relies on a stable power supply to function correctly. If the power cable, socket, or adapter is faulty, it could cause intermittent restarts. Voltage fluctuations or power surges can also lead to this issue.
How to Fix:
- Check the Power Cable and Socket:
- Inspect the power cable for visible damage like fraying or cuts. Try plugging the TV into a different power socket to rule out issues with the current one.
- Use a Voltage Stabilizer:
- If your area experiences frequent voltage fluctuations, invest in a voltage stabilizer or surge protector. This will ensure your TV receives a consistent power supply and protect it from electrical surges.
- Test the Adapter:
- If your Infinix TV uses an external adapter, test it with another compatible device. A faulty adapter might need to be replaced.
- Hardware Defects or Overheating
Overheating or internal hardware issues can also trigger automatic restarts. Overheating is usually caused by poor ventilation, while hardware defects may result from manufacturing issues or prolonged wear and tear.
How to Fix:
- Ensure Proper Ventilation:
- Place your TV in a well-ventilated area to prevent overheating. Avoid placing it near heat sources or in enclosed spaces like a cabinet without airflow.
- Check the TV’s vents for dust or debris and clean them gently with a soft brush or compressed air.
- Inspect for Physical Damage:
- If the TV has experienced a physical shock (e.g., from moving or falling), internal components could be damaged. In such cases, professional inspection and repair are necessary.

- Connectivity Problems with External Devices
Sometimes, connected devices such as HDMI cables, gaming consoles, or USB drives can cause conflicts, leading to frequent restarts. These devices might have compatibility issues or transmit faulty signals to the TV.
How to Fix:
- Disconnect External Devices:
- Unplug all external devices and check if the issue persists. If the TV runs smoothly without restarting, reconnect the devices one at a time to identify the problematic one.
- Replace Faulty Cables:
- Damaged or low-quality HDMI cables can cause signal issues. Replace them with certified cables to ensure smooth performance.
- Update Connected Devices:
- Update the firmware of connected devices like set-top boxes or streaming sticks to ensure compatibility with your TV.
- Cache Overload or Memory Issues
Your Infinix Smart TV’s performance may degrade if its memory is overloaded with cached files or unused apps. This can sometimes cause the TV to restart in an attempt to free up resources.
How to Fix:
- Clear Cache:
- Navigate to the settings menu and clear the cache of frequently used apps. This helps free up memory and improves performance.
- Uninstall Unused Apps:
- Remove apps or games you no longer use to free up space and reduce the load on the TV’s processor.
