Sceptre 42" LCD flat screen. I bought this tv brand new in March 2013. I initially began having problems turning the tv on and off with the remote, until it didn't work any more. The other functions of the remote were fine. The problem worsened and I have to plug and unplug the tv over and over for it to come on. Now it only continues to show a black screen with no sound. The blue light indicates it is getting power. I had the cable guy to check to be certain it wasn't the cable box contributing to the problem, and it was not. I even replaced the cords from the TV that go to my blue ray and to the cable box. Nothing works. I called Sceptre technical support they said they could not help. TVs should not be going out less than 2 years after you purchase them! Has anybody else experienced this?

Damaged plastic screen cover of my flat panel LCD. Anybody have any fixes? T.V. works great but blemishes on plastic can be seen. I'm wondering if a new screen cover can even be bought. Sceptre X37sv-Naga...

most lcd/led tv,s the front panel is the display you can try polishing the screen with very fine abrasive like jewelers rouge or your local car dealer sell plastic polish to remove scratches from plastic headlamp lenses if not its a new display a new tv is poss a better option. i have used silver polish to rejuvinate car headlamp lenses to good effect

I bought a vizio 42

A universal remote will work as long as vizio is listed as one of the brands on the back of the box for the remote. Most of them are easy to program as long as you follow the directions. You can pick one up for less than ten bucks just about anywhere.

Flaw in display

I had the exact same issue. I bought a new tv for my family room and moved the Sceptre to a seldom used location. When I did turn the Sceptre on after a couple of months, it was good as new. The dark areas disappeared completely

Vizio GV42L 42 in. LCD

May be a bad power supply, which is a common problem with these units.I have a GV42L 42" manufactured in march 2007. It works perfect except the screen has a fracture on it. The warranty is voided because we damaged the screen. I can sell this to somone who has a good screen but needs boards or speakers, etc. Or I will buy your tv that has a good screen but damaged boards in it.

New Sceptre 37" LCD TV does not turn on

I just got a 42" komodo by Sceptre, same problem, except "SCEPTRE" showed on the screen. I was sent a USB key program to insert in the service slot in the back and it reflashes the bios. This is old news for you but maybe new for someone?
