My craig tv is switching channels and going from source to source by itself. The volume is also turning all the way up on its own... What to do?

I checked my remote to see if it was causing the problem, but even after removing the batteries the tv still tends to have a life of its own...

My Samsung PN50C450B1D plasma TV doesn't respond when touching the Menu, Volume or Channel buttons on the TV itself.

Chances are you have a stuck button on the button cluster, what I'd do is remove the connector going to it and use the remote control, with a stuck button the remote won't function properly.

Hhisense lcd tv has lost its volume

Hisense is a relatively new Chinese TV brand, and the first couple I owed all had audio problems. A sharp chirp was emitted every time a switched from an HD channel to normal resolution.

1. Try different sources to see if audio comes through on those devices. If so, it could very well be something simple like a muted device.

2. If you pipe everything through a receiver, check the volume options there first before you start throwing things out the window. If you own a small gnawing animal, check speaker cables to see if they still go places.

3. If all 3rd party device possibilities have been ruled out, open up the menu and explore the audio options for the TV itself.

4. If all else fails and you're ready to turn this thing into a pile of glass, try a factory reset. You can find this option by going to Menu > System > Factory Reset.

My TV changes channels or source by itself. I

This may or may not be your solution.

The tact switches (push buttons) mounted on the circuit board may need to be replaced (old, worn, sticking). These are the buttons that are pressed in when you use the controls on the television set (volume, menu, channels etc.). Try removing all of these switches (don't remove the remote sensor). Don't remove just the channel switches.

If you have a remote than you don't 'have' to replace them, only if you want to control the tv from the set itself. After you remove them see if you have the same issue. If so you may need a new control IC chip.

A repair shop will charge about $75 to replace the buttons. If you have the tools and knowledge than feel free to do it yourself. To remove mine, I just used pliers and was careful. However to replace them you will need a soldering iron.

Television turns on and off, turns up volume and changes channels

Hi

Replace all tact switches at the control panel... all switches is have bad resistance thats why your system is abnormal!
