You'll have to take the cover off. This only consists of a few screws to remove, and lifting off the cover. When you have the cover off, try turning any white gears (carefully) to open the drawer. Some tray mechanisms have bad design. They refuse to open after a few months. This is in the design of the plastic parts and mechanisms of the cd drawer. Flawed design.

HDMI Connection

2. Connect the other end of the HDMI cable to one of the HDMI connections on the rear of the TV.

Changing the main won't help, it's not what's wrong, you have bad LED backlights and in all honesty it's going to make more sense to buy a new TV but this time buy a name brand

Take it back to where you purchased it for another set

A lot of people miss understand how the backlight circuit in the power supply works, you will get voltage testing to ground as its the B- side that's switched, the chassis ground and backlight B- are not connected. If you tested each LED strip and they're all good there has to be something else going on other than the typical backlight issue we see on so many LED sets.. I'm not an authorized service center for this brand TV so I don't have a service manual, if this set has separate power board and main test the bl_on pin on the power supply, you should have around 3.5 volts there, that's what tells the back light section of the power supply to turn on.If you don't then it's a bad main board

Set-up (Programming) procedure is too much to type in here, and is not practical and it will differ brand-to-brand remote controls. If you wish to get more; check the sites linked here. The site has set-up code list & set-up procedure to many popular brand remote controls. The site has general set-up codes to check with TVs and other devices are given, in the order of the 'device's brand name list' in alphabetical order. Set-up code list to many brand remote controls also is given. Pull up older posts. Search the sites by type in the brand name to your device in its search box at the top right part of the display window. It will help you to find the document easily. http://homenol.blogspot.com/ http://remotesearch.blogspot.com/ http://electronicshelponline.blogspot.com/ http://electrohelponline.blogspot.com/ Programming Notes • If your device does not respond to the remote after trying all codes listed or your brand is not listed in the code list, use the Auto Code Search method to program your remote. • Sometimes the first code that "works" with your device may operate only a few functions of your device. There may be another code in the code list that performs more functions. Try other codes from the code list for more functionality. This is a trial and error procedure; and quiet time consuming. You might have to check different codes said for your device.

You can't. All televisions need a remote control. How can you have a television without a remote, they all come with one! They are readily available online, Amazon, eBay or from Walmart https://www.google.com/search?q=sceptre+tv+replacement+remote+control ..

sad to have to tell you this , but certified tech can not give free advice to anyone or they lose certification and perhaps their job when the boss finds out

Probably needs updating. Switch it off and on again then run a channel search within the menu system.

I tried those things but didn't help. On my sceptre tv, the volume continues going up or down on its own shortly after changing via the remote. I found that if I press the Mute button 2x (off then on again) after setting the volume it will stay put! The mute button stops it from changing on it's own. Its only a work-around that works for me but maybe it will help others.

The applicable code(s) would be found in a compatible remote control.
