Question about RCA P52929 52" Rear Projection Television

1 Answer

Buttons dont respond correctly

TV works fine at times then randomly the menu pops up and stays on. When this happens, the remote stops functioning and the channel buttons act as they would but pressing them also causes the menu button to be pressed, the volume buttons cause a screen to be shown that displays "P:0 1.09 V:0" pressing the Volume buttons then changes the V value from 0 to 254... Dont really know what to do except to press 4 of the buttons in at the same time and itll funciton fine until the menu randomly comes up again... please help

    It would seem like the menu button is sticking, because thats the one that gets 'pressed' when pressing others. Ill open it and check it out.

    By the way, would you have a copy of the service manual that I can download?

Sounds like one or more of the keypad buttons are sticking - That would also cause the remote control to stop functioning.When you saw "P:0 V:0" you somehow managed to put the tv into the service menu. Pull the keyboard away from the plastic buttons and make sure nothing is in the way.

Why does menu keeps poping up non-stop when watching tv but when sky box is paused this does not happen, why????
Can you use a digital camera to view your remote to see if it is sending out signals when it should not? It might have dirty buttons from food or other dirt. This can cause it to send signals even when the buttons are not being pressed.

Hi! My Toshiba 40RV525u TV has a problem, it turns off or on by itself. I checked the auto power off settings, the time is not set (it is 00:00). This happens very randomly. Now I just plug out in the...
My TV 40RV525U changing channels, menus itself for few months.
my son tried to stop the channel scrolling by enter weird number into the channel to stop it scrolling such as 555, 777..
later, it turn on off by itself and unable to hold on a channel ( I use antenna)
I call Toshiba customer service and they ask money $25 for troubleshooting but I denied since I do not want to waste money and time.

Now, I found how to fix it myself.

In my case, something was wrong with the signal comes from the button control on the left side of the TV.
========================
What I did
========================
unplug the power cord.
Remove back cover.
Look into the motherboard ( biggest green at the center).

First, I disconnect a connector on the motherboard come from the IR board that receive the wireless signal control ( meaning the remote is disable).
I turn on the TV, press on Menu button on the TV side. Menu is still scrolling.

I turn off TV, disconnect power cord and connect the IR connector back to the motherboard.
I then disconnect the nearby connector that comes from the side control buttons.

Turn on the TV by remote, press menu button on the remote to check. The menu stays.

DONE.

I use electric tape to seal off the connector and let it hanging there.
Close the TV back panel

I have been watching TV for 3 nights without menus/channels scrolling.
NO AVAILABLE red message when watching DVD is no longer existed.

Hope this help someone else.

Front panel buttons and remote have stopped working.
Is the favorite channel menu a function that is normally accessed by a button on the remote?

If so, that button on the remote might be stuck.
If this is the case, the menu may at times pop up all by itself and other buttons on the remote and on the TV's front panel may not respond at all (it had happened on my remotes more than once).

Try to clean the remote control (the housing, rubber pad with knobs, circuit board) with ethyl alcohol, when you clean the housing, you should also clean the holes through which the buttons protrude, there might be some dirt that keeps the button stuck.

It may also be a stuck button on the TV front panel, so check these too.

Also, it could be something else, i just wrote the description of a problem and the solution which to me seemed most likely.

Hope you get it fixed.

My menu keeps popping up, and won't turn off. Even hitting the menu button on the tv won't turn it off. Soon after the menu pops up the sounds turns all the way down. The remote is not working for it...
One of two things. Most likely one of the buttons on the Tv is bad causing eratic functions. Igf so you might be able to disconnect the whole button-board. Could be the maion board in which case it's time to shop for a new TV.

Samsung TV HPS4253 menu continues to pop up randomly
Its probably the buttons (hopefully) you can open the tv and disconnect this control panel most of the time. Sometimes the remote (IR) signals go through this board. If the problem continues without board connected, its likely the main board = more expensive (100-300 $ part)

Samsung UN55ES6100, replaced LEDs. Fixed no pic on right but it now has a red tint on the right side and depending on the image different image problems seem to occur. The old LED, right side had a blown LED. Looked like it arced or took a high voltage hit. I now also hear a high pitched squeal coming from the power supply board. All the caps look good. Nothing looks blown or cooked. Can a bad power supply board also cause funny image issues on just one side of the screen?

Hi. I have a problem with my lg 55 inch LED smart tv. When I plug the tv in half of the screen rapidly blinks on and off the LG logo. If I press the power button with the back cover removed I can see all of the LED’s light up and then go out. The tv had a new power supply board from shopjimmy because of two swelled out components on the power board. Any ideas?
