My brother lost his Skyworth TV remote while shifting to a new home. He was disappointed as he couldn’t turn on the Skyworth Smart TV without a remote. Also, he forgot that his Skyworth TV is equipped with physical buttons. I told him to press the Power button on the panel to switch on the Skyworth TV instantly. For further usage, I guided him using the remote app to adjust the volume, switch TV channels, and change the input on Skyworth TV.
In this guide, I will teach you the easy ways to turn on the Skyworth TV without a remote.
