Remote control broken and sleep timer on

No, it doesn't. Then again very few universal programmable remotes do. It's a feature very seldom used by the general public.

Did you not check before you bought it?

Can you access the TV's Sleep settings via the TV's onscreen menu instead?

Hi, you do not set the sleep timer on the remote. You set it on the TV. In order to do this with the 076B0MQ051 REMOTE you must simply press the SLEEP button.

Programming the Sleep Timer:

1. Press and release the TV key.
2. Press and hold the SLEEP key for three seconds. The illuminated component name turns on.
3. Release the SLEEP key.
4. Using the number keys, enter the desired time in minutes (from 1-99 minutes). To set the timer to an umber under 10 minutes, first press 0 and then the desired number (e.g.,05 for five minutes). The illuminated component name blinks with each key press.
5. Once the second number is entered,the illuminated component name turns off.
   Tip Any key press other than the number keys is ignored. If you don't enter the sleep time within 10 seconds after pressing the SLEEP key, you must start over at step 1. The illuminated component name blinks four times and then turns off, indicating your attempt to program the Sleep Timer has been unsuccessful.
6. The Sleep Timer is now set.
7. Leave remote aimed at the TV. Once the Sleep Timer is set, you can continue to use the remote without affecting the Sleep Timer. However, because the timing mechanism for the Sleep Timer is built into the remote itself, the remote must be in TV Mode and pointed at the TV to activate the Sleep Timer.
   Note: If the ON·OFF key is pressed, the Sleep Timer is canceled.

U can't do it without the original remote.Go in the tv menu by the manual button control might could set the sleep timer.This is a extra option on most tvs.

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!

press picture/sleep button. use the buttons on lower left to set. press arrow bouttons to set time and hit enter (middle button)

Only if you can do this in the the menu from the front of the set. Some will let you but others do not include this in the menu . Then a remote will be the only way . You can go to www.replacementremotes.com to see if you can purchase a remote for your set . Good luck
