LG 42" Plasma TV - remote control problem

We were away on vacation, and upon returning, have discovered that our remote control does not work. We've replaced the batteries, and can tell that they are working because the remote will light up when certain buttons are pushed. However, it will not turn the TV on/off, and no other controls seem to work on the remote. Any suggestions for how to fix this?

Well the first thing you need to figure out is if the problem is in the remote or the TV, right?

So what I'd do is get a universal remote - they're like $5 at Target - and try to command the TV with it.

That's one quick, easy and affordable way to know where the problem is. And it gets you to have a spare universal remote, just in case.

Once you know more, you explore the options.

The picture on my lg tv has gone dark. Every button on the remote is working except the menu button.The button on the side for menu is not working either.

Check and repair the remote control. It sounds that it need cleaning. But lack of brightness to a Plasma screen might be to a faulty Z Sustain board. Check this for more details about the TV fualts, and to how to repair and clean a remote control.

Buy a univesal remote control, which have setup codes for LG tV. You can get this information from the catelogue accompanied with the remote control. There will be proceedings also to setup the remot to tV. Or get its orginal remote control from the authorised service center for LG at your town.

How do i turn the television on i just bought it from the store

Either by your remote or manual. Some models have a master rocker switch close to the ac input where your cord plugs into. That kills all power to the set for vacation purposes.

Lg 42'' plasma 720p no picture

This is not good. Was your tv unplugged or just power button off when you left for vacation. PlasmaTvs are highly susceptible to damage from power surges caused by lighting. Leave unplugged for at least five minutes then plug back in and see if this helps.

REmote won't work

Buy a universal remote & program it for your TV. That's what I had to do. They don't cost that much & they are just as good, if not better (more features) than the remote that came with your tv. Sorry but I went thru this & this was the best solution!
