If your projector is slow, stuck, showing Wi-Fi errors, or you are planning to sell or give it away, performing a factory reset is the safest and most effective solution. A factory reset removes all personal data, Wi-Fi passwords, apps, and accounts, and restores the projector to its original factory condition. This method works on most popular brands including Zebronics, BenQ, Geniox, ANT, Samsung, LG, Sony, and Android projectors.

Make sure the projector is connected to stable power
