What you're describing sounds to me like "Windex syndrome". People sometimes clean the front of their TV by spraying it with glass cleaner like it's a window (which it basically is) and wiping it off. Unfortunately the cleaner can run down onto the circuit board where it damages the switches and wiring. This might be what's happening in your TV, although the same trouble can be caused by other things as well.

The way the front panel controls are wired, a bad switch can cause all of them to act up. The remote sensor is part of the chain too, and if it goes bad odd things can happen. If the set is in an area of high humidity the same trouble can develop because of moisture. One of the switches might not be operating correctly, or another part in the button chain may have gone bad. The microcomputer in the TV may be bad. If you've had a recent severe thunderstorm with nearby lightning, this may have affected the chip.

Try unplugging the TV from the AC outlet, not just turning it off. Let it sit for 5 minutes to make sure that capacitors have had a chance to discharge. Press a couple of the front panel buttons before plugging the set back in. Then plug the TV back in and see if you still have the same trouble. This process makes sure the microcomputer inside is fully reset and often gets the set going again.

If the trouble continues, someone will need to check the front panel switches and the circuit board. That's the area where the cause will be found.

Atv will turn on but stays on one channel and menu button and channel button will not work, and there no picture.

Most TV's require to be set on channel 3 with the TV remote again I say with the TV remote then if you get a screen run the channel lookup command from the TV remote, that should do it for you. In addition make sure the TV is set to the correct AV input with the converter box remote, your ISP can help with that part

How do I get the picture to fill the screen instead of having all that black space on the sides?

Using one of the older antennas on an hdtv when receiving broadcast channels can cause that.
It might just be the channel you are on. You should have a wide button or aspect, format, zoom or view mode on the television remote to adjust the picture size.

If you have a cable box or satellite tv receiver you can try the hd zoom #, aspect or format button on it to adjust the picture size.

You might be connected to your cable box two different ways and you may be on the wrong input

The program you are viewing may only be broadcast that way

No channel 3, the tv goes from channel 2 to 4, can't use the cable box

Two options...

1. Connect the Cable Box via RCA cables (Yellow/Red/White) or Component cable if you have a HD cable box and select the appropriate input on the TV to view your programs. This will provide the best picture quality as well.

2. Make sure the cable box is on. Using the original TV remote type in the channel 03 and if this tunes to the channel then go to the TV menu and then go to Set up and then select add/erase and select add.

If typing 03 did not tune in channel 3 then using the TV remote select menu then go to set up and then make sure TV / Cable is set to cable then on the cable box press the channel button a couple of times and then select auto program on the tv.

Aspect ratio problems on Samsung LN-S2651D Flat Panel TV

The aspect ratio (zoom) button on the cable remote had been changed. On Brighthouse the # button toggles through the zoom settings. It's not a tv issue, it's a cable fix.

Toshibe 36AFX61 36" TV

I uncovered the problem. The "analog tuner" seems to have gone bad. The part is $25 -$36. The set can still be used however. I just removed the coaxial cable from ANT 1 in the back of the TV (this is what I believe has become defective)which was going to a VCR. I then just used composite cables(red,white,yellow)to bring the signal directly to the TV from the cable box, rather than the VCR. All works however, will replace the defective part.
