I have a Sony 32" (KV32FS13) that has been having issues recently. None of the buttons up front (top channel and volume and lower menu buttons)work except for the power button. Occasionally the favorite channel menu will pop up repeated and the screen will flicker as if it is selecting a channel from the menu. As a result the remote has stopped responding as well. Any suggestions as to potential problems or items to trouble shoot. Thanks in advance!
Is the favorite channel menu a function that is normally accessed by a button on the remote?
If so, that button on the remote might be stuck.
If this is the case, the menu may at times pop up all by itself and other buttons on the remote and on the TV's front panel may not respond at all (it had happened on my remotes more than once).
Try to clean the remote control (the housing, rubber pad with knobs, circuit board) with ethyl alcohol, when you clean the housing, you should also clean the holes through which the buttons protrude, there might be some dirt that keeps the button stuck.
It may also be a stuck button on the TV front panel, so check these too.
Also, it could be something else, i just wrote the description of a problem and the solution which to me seemed most likely.
Hope you get it fixed.
regards
