When I turn on my SONY KV27FV300 TV, the volume automatically goes to the maximum. It can be lowered using the doen volume button, but once the button is released, it goes back to the maximum.
The tv is not responding to the remote and will not allow the reset to factory settings. I unplugged for 2 days, problem still occurs.
Any ideas??

Dan,
Thanks but that did not work. Each button was able to push in and out freely. I could tell they were 'not stuck' as they clearly pushed in and out easily.
This sounds like there is a stuck button. With the TV off, try each of the panel buttons. You should feel the button engage. If not, that is the faulty one that should be replaced. Also, check to be sure that the plastic covering that extends to the actual switch inside the set is not broken causing a switch to be stuck on.
Keep us posted.
Dan

There are two other possibilities that I have seen in the past:
1) The volume control chip is defective (not likely as the vol changes both up and down)
2) The control IC is defective and is constantly telling the voume chip to increase volume.
I'll look up this model and post the specifics.
