I honestly can't pinpoint the problem. I would say the power supply. That is an easy fix.. and the cost is not as bad as u might think. The hardest and most time consuming is taking the whole back of the TV. there are lots of small screws. I would make sure the TV is unplugged first. Take pictures as u go along . once the back is off take pictures of the whole thing. and take several of the power supply board. that way u won't get confused on which cable goes where. Good idea to buy one of the Grounding Straps (only about $5.00) . if it is not the power supply board, there is a T-Con board. same procedure as the power supply. maybe someone else on here can pinpoint ur trouble better. Good luck!

My hisense tv keeps popping up the menu constantly

Probably a stuck button, either the menu button on the set itself is stuck or a menu button on a remote is active. Press the menu button on the set itself and see if that "un-sticks" the button, if it was indeed stuck. If the menu keeps popping up, take the remotes from the room and go back in without the remotes and see if the menu is popping up. Try the menu button again on the TV itself to see if that changes things. If the problem was a remote, perhaps it was laying wrong and depressing a button. Or, a button on it may have indeed been stuck. Bring the remotes back in and see if the menu starts popping up.

My LCD tv's menu screen keeps popping up and won't stop.

Since it is brand new then should be OK.
Please return it to store and get another TV.

the button is shorted, unsolder the button and take it out. you can use the remote to use the menu if you want, you can also buy a new switch from radio shack.
