My westing hous hdtv is stuck on channel 35-3 and will not switch to another channel, the remote doesn't work and neither do the buttons on the side of the tv, the power button works but won't

try changing the channels from the tv buttons and not the remote control and if that works your tv has a faulty infra red remote sensor which is easy to replace if you can use a screwdriver

hi take the leads out that you have on the vidio as the tv is wating for you to plug your camra back in if this dose not work threr shoud by a reset button on the back some were thank you

tried with unplugging and re plugging the tv doesn't work?. if not, tried to push any button like the channel up/down button and tv/video button at the front panel.

Beg, borrow or buy a Universal Remote.

Shouldn't a new set like that accept HDMI or component video/sound ? Doesn't the signal degrade in the RF stage ?

All the buttons/features on the remote can be tested with a remote tester---rule the hand unit out first.

Many remotes can also be tested in a dark room with a digital camera--point remote at camera with it on and press suspect buttons--the camera should react on its display screen with a faint flash.

If only 1 button does not work it may be a problem where some liquid got inside--

Some units have a lockout feature which will disable most or all buttons on the remote and or the set.

If set changes channels with the buttons on the set problem is with the remote--they can be tested easily.

You might try pulling the AC plug overnight; this could be a simple 'lock-up' of a single circuit and removing its supply voltage may cure it.If this doesn't work, take any digital camera, turn it on and watch the viewfinder (LCD), aim the remote at the camera's lens and press the mode select button. If it is functioning as it should, you should be able to see a white flash occur when the remote's button(s) are pushed. The sensor in cameras is capable of 'seeing' infrared but displays it as a white light.
If the button is dead and you feel adventurous, pop open the remote's case, gain access to the board with the fixed switch contacts and gently clean them with a cotton swab dampened with rubbing alcohol.Also clean the little carbon buttons attached to the remote's keypad, again gently.
Reassemble and try it again.
If the failure is still there, then a circuit (unfortunately probably on the main board if all other functions are working) has failed and the replacement of the main board is fairly pricey.

Hello,

there is every possibility that the channel (ch - and ch +) button on the TV is stuck. This can make the TV channels change by itself. This also applies to the remote control (if any).

Turn off the TV, use your thumb to flip through the channel (ch - and ch +) button on the TV. This will free the stuck button. Also, check the channel (ch - and ch +) buttons on the remove and make sure it is also not stuck in.

If the above doesn't solve the problem, then it means fault is from the control board inside the TV. It maybe defective or needs servicing.

The board controls the buttons on the TV and it can be found on the position of the channel (ch - and ch +) inside the TV.

Note that TV stores a lot of current. So if you want to disassemble the TV to check the board allow the current to discharge by remove the TV plug from the wall and wait for about 1 hour before attempting to disassemble the TV.

Let me know if you need more assistance...

Regards.

As I see it, your problem has something to do with your remote. I bet you have pressed the "auto search" button of your remote that's why your TV keeps on searching channels automatically from channel 76 down. Here's what you've got to do:

1. Get your remote control
2. Turn on your TV.
3. Press the "auto search" button to stop your TV from automatically searching channels.
4. In case it works, I'd advise you to look for channels manually using the number buttons or the "previous" or "next" buttons.
5. If it doesn't work still, contact your technician or your service provider about it. They are of great help for you!

I hope it helps. Thanks a lot.

Hey cthaemar, it sounds like it may have been switched off the correct channel. If it is hooked up with a Coaxial cable it will be on channel 3 or 4, and if it is hooked up with an AV cable then it would be on one of the inputs.

If it's channel 3 or 4 try pressing the gray TV button on the remote and changing the channel. If that doesn't work you may need to use the TV's remote or the TV itself.

If it's on an input press the same gray TV button and then try pressing Input. With this you can also try the TV remote or the TV itself to change those if our remote doesn't change it.

Let me know if you have any other questions or concerns!
