Toshiba 35AFX54 scrolling menu problem continuously on its own and won't stop. Remote doesn't work anymore. I did unplug the tv for 30 minutes and plugged back in......still in menu scroll mode. So aggravating! Please help me solve this issue. Can't even watch tv now because I can't see through the scrolling screens. Thank you.

Not sure how a TV made it's way into Apple Mac laptop problems but hey, stuff happens.

Take the batteries out of the remote and see if that sorts it.

Testimonial: "I tried that, nothing changed. Menu is still scrolling."

SOURCE: Toshiba TV Keeps shutting itself Off.

If you're NOT still under warranty you should at least open the TV and look for a blown fuse near where the power cable enters the set. A lot of times you can buy replacement fuses at a local electronic or hardware store and they're easy to replace. Check the fuse. If it is blown, it will be obvious and make sure that the set is unplugged before replacing it. If it blows again, or if it is not blown, your problem is probably in the 'X' volt regulator and you will need professional help with the repairs. You can also check the board where the components are mounted and resoled any that look bad. Brief power outages may cause the TV to turn off on its own. If you are using a surge protector, try connecting the set directly to the wall outlet. In your case it could caused by a blown fuse, a leaky diodes or a bad solder joint at the horizontal drive transformer. All can be replaced at a local electronic or hardware store and they're easy to replace If this does not correct the problem, you may need to have your TV serviced. good luck!

SOURCE: tv starts scrolling through functions

There is probably random noise or a failure of some type with the uPC area of the set that deals with the control. It is also possible that there is a fault with the control panel.

This is not going to be easy to service. There can be a lot involved. The first thing the tech will check is for the quality of the power supply distribution in the set and especialy to the uPC and control areas. If this is okay, then he will have to follow up for troubleshooting the uPC control area.

This type of repair will be time consuming and most likely very costly. You can get an estimate, but for myself I would be shopping for a new TV set because of the loss if time and the cost of the parts for a CRT set. And... I am capable myself to fix this!

Double check that the Demonstration in the menu is not set to on. This will cause it to keep scrolling thru.....

Toshiba tv 40rv525u has started to change channels

My TV 40RV525U changing channels, menus itself for few months ( I use antenna).
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 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.

I have an old model of a Toshiba tv... on the remote it says, CT-90037. All of a sudden, the menu icons POP up every 10 seconds no matter what I do it will not stop scrolling through this menu test. It...

most likely problem is one or more bad switches on the key board. if you can find the switches, they are right behind the buttons on the front, you can unsolder them and remove. if you want you can leave them out and just use the remote. or you can do this and try to find new switches so the set will work until you replace them.

Toshiba 40rv525r screen says NOT AVAILABLE

I've had the same issue! This is caused by the control panel telling the TV what to do - does it change channels on its own, too, or turn off or on on its own?

What you need to do (if you've not already done it) is lock the control panel out, which you can do under the LOCK menu.

What may help is running the factory reset on page 54.

Stuck in demo mode

I had the same problem. Was told to unplug the set for 1 minute but it still was stuck in menu screen scrolling. So I was told to unplug the TV for 4 hours, it resets it I guess because it worked! Try it!

VIzio channels won't change

press the menu button in the middle of your remote and scroll over to the middle tab that's labled "TV" and then scroll down to "auto search". click on this option by pressing the right arrow key on your remote so that your T.V. and "re-scan for channels. It might take awile. I took me about 5 minutes but for majority of the time it was stuck on 45% while it was scanning.
