The menu screen keeps popping up why is it doing that and how can I change this so it only pops up when I want it to. My TV is less than a year old.

  • Anonymous Jul 28, 2010

    It is a Vimax TV and it is the menu screen that pops up. I can clear it by pressing the menu button on my remote. I am hooked into the HD cable box with the 3 color cable (red,blue and green) I even picked up a top of the line cable thinking it may help. Presently I can view my channels thru input labeled YPBPR1 should I be using the channel marked TV? Would this make a difference? And I have the Blu-ray connected up to YPBPR2.

Is the menu screen popping up or the display information? Are you connected to a cable box or satellite tv receiver box? If you are you must be connecting to the television with what is called a coaxial cable, coax for short. When using that one cable antenna as people call it (has a needle in the center and usually twists to the right to tighten onto the television) this happens. If you have a cable box or satellite tv receiver box it may have colored holes on the back of it (green, blue, red, yellow, white, red, etc.). If this is the case you would need to connect to the television with composite or component cables which can be gotten from the drugstore, big box store or electronics store. Then you would need to switch av inputs on the television itself to view your tv channels.

The menu options keep poping up

I doubt this is a user fix. There is a problem in a mother board .
I would run to the warranty and try to replace it.

RCA HDTV MENU AND VOLUME CONTROL POPS ON AND OFF SCREEN.

My TV was doing the same thing. Someone told me to disconnect the front menu buttons and this worked for me. The board goes haywire. You have to take off the front black panel on the bottom first then the grey front panel where the controls are. Once you do this you will see where there is a plug from tv to the panel where the control buttons are. Just disconnect. You will only be able to use your remote for TV. Its a cheap and easy fix. Just lots of screws to get the panels off and on. Good luck!

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.

Vizio 42 Plasma Pop

My 42 Inch Vizio experienced the pop of death out-of warranty. I bought mine at Sears and they sent a technician over within a day or so. It turned out to be in the power supply and they shipped a board right out. Total including parts and labor was $280. Although no expensive TV should die after less than 2-years, Sears seems to be able to deal with repair in the home without drama.

Menu keeps popping up

Never a good idea to clean with any spray cleaner. The cleaner does get down in the button bar and cause corrosion and shorting along ribbon cable. Use screen wipes for computer monitors only on TV's and any type of monitors. You can remove the back of the case. And remove the button board and clean with a cue tip and alcohol along ribbon cable.
