LG LCD TV volume/sensor problems

The volume goes all the way up or down after pressing either selection on the remote. Two different remotes were used for this and the same problem occurred. But using the volume/channel control on the side of the tv yields normal results. After pressing menu on the remote it will just cycle through the selections by itself. Wondering if there is an at home solution for this problem or do I need to take it in?

    Our previous tv was an LG as well and was stolen from our apartment, they did not snag the remote from our place however. So when we went to go get our new LG we tried out the remote on it and it was working perfectly fine until tonight (we've been using it for about 4 months now). Only one has batteries in it, so no conflicting signals are sent out. We have no kids and neither of us touch the side of the tv to adjust anything until something like this happened.

It could be 2 issues: faulty remotes or stuck buttons on tv's keyboard. Where did you get 2 remotes? cable or directtv boxes? those are universal and must be programed to work with tvs. or, do you have 2 identical LG remotes in your household? either way, if you have kids on premises and lot of drinks carried around, remotes could be contaminated with fluids inside and malfunctioned. You must become a CSI and figure it out!
Good luck and let me know the results.

Pair sky+ remote to tv

1. Press tv on your Sky remote control.

2. Press and hold down select and the red button together until the red light at the top of your Sky remote control flashes twice.

Then enter the remote control code using the number keypad. The red light will flash twice if a valid code has been entered.

Code: 0206

4. Point your Sky remote control at your TV and press the vol + & vol - buttons. If this turns the volume up and down as you'd expect, then the tv should be set, press Select and the remote should work

Unable to control channels or volume

Is the remote a universal? Make sure you select TV as the the device you are trying to control. You can also fix a wonky remote by popping out the batteries and mashing down all the buttons. This rids the remote of any built up electricity that could be hampering functionality. Also, the remote sensor on the TV is controlled internally of course so a power drain of the TV wouldn't hurt:


1. Unplug the product's power cable so that the device is not grounded to the house. Do not simply turn off the power-bar if one is in use.
2. Press and hold in the products power button for 1 minute to release the retained electricity from the capacitors and circuit board. 3. Plug the product back into the wall outlet rather than a power-bar to rule it out of contributing to the problem and turn the device back on.
What do the buttons on the TV itself do? Do they work properly? If not, the problem is going hand-in-hand with the remote and again, the problem is internal and service or a firmware update, if available, may resolve this.
