TV will not come on with remote or power button

My grandson's hand hit the remote while he was laying on the floor, putting the TV in the sleep mode. The TV timed out, powered itself down, and now will not turn on using the remote or the main power switch on the TV. The red light that is located beside the power button is on indicating that there is power applied to the TV set. What is needed to power the TV on. Is it a password or sequence of buttons being pushed or what?

    Thank you greg-margo for the advice. Unplugging the tv set for a few minutes like you recommended worked. Have a great day sir ... jp

The following instructions are for the Emerson EWC1303/1903 tv/vcr. That's the closest match I could find to the Spongebob Squarepants 13' TV
If it's actually in Sleep mode, do the following:

TO CANCEL THE SLEEP TIMER
Press the WAKE UP/SLEEP button on the remote
control until “SLEEP TIMER” appears.
To view the time left for sleep timer press the WAKE
UP/SLEEP button twice, then press the MENU button
on the remote control to exit the sleep timer setting

If unsuccessful, try unplugging the TV for 1/2 hour, then plug it in and try turning it back on either manually or with the remote. Either of these should solve your problem. Best of luck to you!

HERE'S THE ANSWER TO YOUR PROBLEM:

I think the problem has nothing to do with your TV. I bet the culprit lies on the setting of your remote control. Maybe you set your remote into a sleep mode. When a TV has set into a sleep mode. It's power on light is still red but doesn't work. So all you've got to do is keep pressing the sleep button. After a few presses, it will definitely work. And, you can now enjoy your day watching TV. Thanks.

My grandson got hold of the tv remote and turned the pip feature on. we cannot turn it off. help!
Hey there..I had a PIP problem for the last 6 weeks and just solved it with this tip. The solution was in front of me all the time.

Hit the set up button on the TV.
You'll see options to change the language. The last option is to put the TV in "Demo Mode."
Put the TV in Demo mode, when the first screen appears, "Welcome to...." the PIP will disappear.
Hit exit before the screen moves to the "Menu." If you miss it, watch the demo once--it will restart--and hit the exit button the next time you see the "Welcome to" message.

I just did this and it worked for me - i hope it works for you

Sleep Timer on remote does not work
First try to access the sleep timer menu from the controls on the TV to verify the TV is working.

If that works then the remote has the problem.
Now try this;
Step 1- Pull the batteries out of the remote and leave them out until Step 4.
Step 2- Press and release each and every button one at a time on the remote control until every button has been pressed and released at least once!
Step 3- If your remote has slide switches, you must move the switch to each position then repeat the button pushing in Step 2.
(When you're done, be sure to put the slide switch in the correct position to operate the unit the remote came with!)
Step 4- Put the batteries back into the remote, being very careful to install them correctly.
New batteries should be used if you're not sure about the old ones.
If this does not work, then you may need a new remote unit.

Dell w2600 wont turn
Same problem, this is my solution. The system will start everytime if starting from power off one starts from sleep. Thus the trick is to use sleep mode to shut it down. I do not use the sleep function on the remote (it would be worth a try, let me know if you do that), but rather I have chose VGA as the entry signal ad have hooked the TV to my PC, and then I put the PC in sleep mode. The TV will do the same. When it is in sleep mode through the PC, the system cvomes back to life if the remote from the cable is used to change channels.
