Seems like he may have pressed the source or input key on the remote however you can do this both ways to get things back in order by pressing the source or input key and the tv should turn back to the source you want (if however no signal still try going into the tv's menu and look for a dish icon (samsung tvs) and change it from air to cable or if cable to air) if the source isnt cable choose HDMI for your set top box (dish network direct TV or spectrum box)

SOURCE: My telefunken tv works and I can watch tv by using the buttons on the side of the tv, but when I try to use the remote it only registers that i'm pressing 1... no matter what button i press. any

AH! I have fixed a lot of remote controls in my career. I would suspect something may have got spilled onto the top of the remote and got inside under the front rubber like buttons you press.

You have a few clear choices here: find a tech or a shop who can take the remote apart(they can also test the remote) and clean it properly and put it back together.

I would do that before looking to buy another remote---if the side buttons work the set is ok--issue is with the remote.

What are u using for a signal source? Cable, Satellite, Over the air? My best guess is that you hit a wrong button such as the "source" button and the remote doesn't know what device you are wanting to opperate. Press volume up then down and see what light lights up?
If it is other than "TV" then you probably have the wrong device selected... Hope this helps... Sincerely HDTV GURU JAY

Original remote lost. have universal remote. cannot program TV

On the right hand side of this television there are panel buttons. It appears that your son in law knocked the tv out of the correct input. Press the input button in order to cycle through the 5 inputs. Typically pressing the input button on the side panel of a television and pressing it again and again and again will make it change inputs. Universally the buttons on the tv panel function as follows: Channel up moves the cursor up. Channel down moves the cursor down. Volume + moves the cursor right. Volume - moves the cursor left.
Hope this helps

My son bought an AOC LCD TV (model L24H898) last month and connected his laptop and XBOX to it. Yesterday we lost internet connection and the screen on the TV went blank. Now none of the button on the TV...

According to the manufacturer, to reset the entire unit do the following:
1. Press and hold "Menu" and "Channel +" on the TV. 2. Using other hand, press the power button. 3. A small screen should appear in the top left part of the screen. 4. Using the remote, select "Memory Recall" and select. 5. Power off and re-boot the computer 6. Run channel auto-scan to regain the picture.

How can I override a password setting on my RCA tv.

There's a couple of things to try with this one.

Idea 1: Press and Hold the TV button on the remote, whilst also holding the Menu button on the TV.

If that doesn't work, then try:

Idea 2: Go into the menu, select Parental Lock, and press Mute, Display, Clear, and Reset buttons in sequence.
Hope that helps - if not, let me know as there are a few more options to try :)

"No Signal" but aerial working ok on other tv in house!

Your son more than likely changed the input source. You may be able to change it back by pressing the channel up/down button or you may have to enter the menu on the tv and change inputs that way. PS's will usually connect using a video input using a red/white/yellow cords. You may also want to ensure the connections are in their proper place as I do not know how savvy your son is at changing the setup over to play his PS. If you use a modulator to connect to the TV-either the PS or aerial- ensure that it is powered up also. I hope this has been of assistance to you and thanks for using Fix Ya. If I can be of further assistance let me know.

Picture will not come on.

I found this in the user manual. From what you've said I would check the second paragraph first. I hope this works for you.

On your computer check; Power, Signal Cable.
The TV is using its power management system.
Move the computer’s mouse or press any key on the
keyboard.

On your equipment check (STB, DVD, etc) ; Power,
Signal Cable.
The TV is using its power management system.
Press the Source button on the panel or remote control.
Turn the TV off and on.
