I have a 36A43 that recently started displaying the volume up or down mode randomly.or the ch. will go up or down Most of the time the only way to stop it is to un plug it. I have unpluged the switches that dose not help
I had the same problem with my 36A43 also. I found by pure accident that if I pushed and held the MENU button on the front of the TV that the volume quit going up and down and I could control the volume with the remote. So far it is working all I did was jam 2 or 3 tooth-picks in beside the MENU button to hold it in and it is working so if this helps you any good luck its a cheap fix for an old TV
I did what was suggested by dzalabak it did work but menu came on after so long so what i did was pushed and jamed menu and vol down and this worked for me its been 10h still good
I would like to jam the whole TV up Toshiba's rear service center entrance. This is ridiculous, I paid a premium price for this large TV and have hardly used it over a 5 year period. Have had numerous issues where the sound goes wide open and makes it unusable. Then a few days later it may work fine but you never know when it will strike. At times it refuses to come on at all and right now is one of those times after I had to shut it down a few hours back because of sound. Toshiba should have made Barney Fifes first TV so it would go with his first car!!.

Yes, please check with your brother and let us know what would be a good solution. Has anyone else had their problem fixed? I just called Toshiba and they were very unapologetic about the poor quality of their product and just referred me to a service center.
This problem sometime occurs due to a bad capacitor in the volume control circuitry. You will need a multimeter and a schematic to find out the proper voltages within the volume control circuitry. I would suggest that if you do not have a background in electronics that you take the set to a qualified shop for repairs.
Thank you,

The volume has started to go up and down and often times goes all the way up to max. Additionally the channels are changing constantly and I can't stop it. Piece of crap!
hi i have a 36a43volume wnet up and down radomly as well as the channels and all off a sudden quit alltogether.... ne idea where to get a schematic?
We have exactly the same problem. The volume suddenly goes to 0 (minimum) or to 100 (maximum). We've only had the TV for 4 years. I don't know if it's worth it to fix it or buy a new TV?
I have a 32A33 with the exact same problem as last guest. It was going on for a while but could control it somewhat. Now the volume goes down then all the way to 100. Have to pull the plug now to shut down. Can't watch it anymore cause now it's a continuous problem. Have a brother in electronics who sells capacitors. Will have him check it out and let you all know. Still shouldn't happen. Things are not made to last anymore. Will probably not be worth taking it to repair shop.
I am having the same exact problem with my Toshiba 36A43 36' TV. The volume goes from 0 to 100 and back again continuiously, the channels never stop changing and the only way to turn it on or off is by the electrical cord. I contacted Toshibia and they claim its not their problem. They said the tv worked fine when it left their factory and that there have not been any recalls.
I have this model TV. I just had it repaired because the picture was very dark, and it cost me $130.00 for the house call and adjustment. Just yesterday the volume increaset to 100% and I lost control of the TV. I couldn't even shut it off, I had to unplug it. After a while the problem went away but it keeps coming back.
