To remove your Google Account from a broken Google TV (or any Google TV) when you cannot interact with the device itself, you can sign out remotely through your Google Account settings on a web browser.
Removing Your Google Account Remotely
Since your TV is broken, the most effective way to remove your account is by using your Google Account settings on another device, such as a computer or smartphone. This method does not require you to interact with the TV's interface.
Follow these steps to sign out of your Google TV remotely:
- Go to Device Activity: Open a web browser on your computer or phone and navigate to the Google Account Device Activity page.
- Sign In: Make sure you are signed into the same Google Account that is linked to your Google TV. If you are signed into a different account, sign out and sign back in with the correct one.
- Find Your TV: On the Device Activity page, you will see a list of devices where your Google Account is currently signed in. Look for the entry corresponding to your Google TV (it might be listed as "Google TV" or potentially the brand/model of your TV).
- Select the Device: Click on the entry for your Google TV. This will show you details about the device's activity and options.
- Sign Out: Locate and click the "Sign out" option for the selected Google TV.
- Confirm Sign Out: A confirmation prompt will appear. Click "Sign out" again to confirm that you want to remove your account from that device.
Once you confirm, your Google Account will be signed out of the specified Google TV. This removes access to your personal data, subscriptions, and linked services from the device. This method is particularly useful for broken or inaccessible devices, ensuring your account security.
Removing your account remotely is the recommended approach when direct interaction with the device is not possible.
