Menu going crazy on the screen!

The menu on my GE 46GW948 46" TV will not stop popping up on the screen. When it does pop up none of the control buttons on the bottom of the tv will control it. When the channel buttons, volumn buttons & the on and off buttons do work they seem to be one button off. I press the volumn up button to turn the darn thing off. After a few minutes, it works fine again but doesn't last very long. I've unplugged the set overnight hoping to reset it but nothing has helped. The menu just keeps popping up!

Turn tv on and it just keeps scrolling through the channels downwards, managed to get into the menu, (which it kept at bottom of list) and did an retune of it, nothing, turned it off for a bit still going. Any ideas at all??

Hisense 50K360G menu keeps popping up on screen and drastically the volume turns up

Try removing the battery in the remote. If it stops happening, you need to buy a new remote. If it not, the control electronics is messing up.

Menu pops up repeatedly and will not go away for more than 3 minutes. Controls on front of tv not functioning properly pressing channel up/down not only changes the selection but also immediately selects...

Had same issue, I was fed up and as a last resort i took the TV apart and simply un-soldered the menu button from the control board. I put the tv back together and its been working ever since. Like i said, its a quick fix and a last resort, but if its worth it to you to hold off from buying a new tv, this may just do the trick. Be aware that it may make the display text on your screen illegible and I did have one other problem about a month later when the tv input changed and the tv remote stopped functioning properly. i was not able to switch the tv back to my cable box input but a 6 dollar universal remote from walmart solved that.
hope this helps

Menus pops up

The menu button on the TV itself is bad and must be replaced ( or removed ). Alternatively the whole front button assembly can be disconnected. Just follow the wire back to the main chassis and unplug it.

RCA HDTV MENU AND VOLUME CONTROL POPS ON AND OFF SCREEN.

My TV was doing the same thing. Someone told me to disconnect the front menu buttons and this worked for me. The board goes haywire. You have to take off the front black panel on the bottom first then the grey front panel where the controls are. Once you do this you will see where there is a plug from tv to the panel where the control buttons are. Just disconnect. You will only be able to use your remote for TV. Its a cheap and easy fix. Just lots of screws to get the panels off and on. Good luck!

GE Rear Projection TV Color Alignment We have a major problem with our TV! Some days it shoes more blue than the rest, some days more red then the rest. But everyday its blurry as all get up! We have tried the converence thing in the front settings of the TV. But that doesnt help no matter how we align the lines. We have opened the back to find a 6 screw panel on the right which works great at some time but eventually goes back to what it was, sometimes the very next time we turn the TV on again. We also recently found a 10 oxegon shaped screw panel which we just started to mess with even though there is no labels to it. All I can tell is one of them will adjust the vertical alignment of the screen. Now what is wrong with our TV & how can we fix this on our own! We arent in any shape to buy a new TV & we are willing to do it ourselves if we can! Before we lose our eyesight trying to watch TV!

TV will not change channels I have had this 46" GE for about 12 years; great picture and sound. Recently it started having this unusual problem. It will not change channels. I first noticed it while turning on the DVD and you could hear the DVD playing while the tv remained on whatever channel it had been on (from the DISH tuner). While running some tests I noticed that no matter what channel I selected for the TV, ( 7 required for my Zenith VCR/DVD combo) the DISH feed remains on screen. If I entered channel 99, the tv doesn't recognize it and the picture remains on whatever channel the Dish receiver is set for. I have no idea where my manual is, but I think it's a problem with the tv's tuner. It will not allow the DVD/VCR to capture the tv screen. Electronically, it gives indications that the DVD/VCR isn't connected, but physically it is. Would love to hear from anyone who has experienced this or anything similar to it.
