How to Turn On Sceptre TV Without Remote

Due to wear and tear, the Sceptre TV remote may not work at some point. Though you have ordered a new remote for your TV, it would take some days to reach your doorstep. Until that, you don’t have to wait for the remote for turning on your Sceptre TV. Instead, you can turn on Sceptre TV without a remote by using a physical power button, a remote app, or gaming consoles like PlayStation 4 and Nintendo Switch.

How to Turn On Sceptre TV Without Remote

Here are the possible methods to turn on or off your TV without using a remote controller.

Use the TV Power Button to Turn on Sceptre TV

If the remote is not working, you can press the physical Power button to turn on/ off the TV. Like other TVs, Sceptre TV also has a dedicated power button to control it during emergencies. The Power button will be located at the underside of the logo or on the left or right side of the TV panel. You can also change the input, modify settings, and adjust the volume using the physical buttons.

Use the Remote App to Turn On Sceptre TV

Since there is no official Sceptre TV remote control app, the only possible way is to use third-party apps from Play Store. For those apps to work, ensure that your Android smartphone has an IR blaster. Remote for Sceptre TV is one of the best control apps and is available on the Play Store for free download. By using this app, you can control your TV without a remote.

Note: If you want to control Sceptre Android TV from an iPhone, you can install and use the Google TV remote app. Remember to connect your Smart TV and iPhone to the same WiFi network.

Use a Gaming Console to Turn On Sceptre TV

Fortunately, you can even use a gaming console like PlayStation 4 or Nintendo Switch to turn on the TV without using a remote.
