I have inherited a Samsung TV from my aunt. All I have is the TV and the remote. When I turned the TV on, I get a screen saying that it wants to pair with the keyboard. I presuming thatโs a YouTube keyboard, but I donโt have one.
Is there any way to get around this? I want to use the on screen keyboard so I can connect it to the Wi-Fi.
Iโm thinking that somebody has already had this experience and also a workaround.
Yes, you can skip the keyboard pairing screen and use the TVโs on-screen keyboard with just the remote.Quick steps:Skip pairing: On the keyboard pairing screen, look for and select โSkipโ, โCancelโ, or โUse on-screen keyboardโ (use arrow buttons + Enter on remote). If no option shows, press the Back/Return button on the remote repeatedly. Reset remote pairing (helps most cases):Point remote at TV. Hold Back (Return) + Play/Pause buttons together for 5โ10 seconds until pairing message appears. Then try Wi-Fi setup again. Cold boot TV:Unplug TV from wall for 60โ90 seconds. Plug in, turn on, and proceed to Wi-Fi. On-screen keyboard should appear when you select a network and need to enter password. Navigate with arrow keys + Enter. If stuck: During setup, when highlighting Wi-Fi, press Select/Enterโon-screen keyboard usually pops up automatically. Type password using remote D-pad.
This works on most inherited Samsung TVs. Once on Wi-Fi, you can finish setup normally.
