"Hi @popsthompson ,

What is the model number of the TV?

Does it also do this when using the various control buttons (Input, Vol Up and Down etc.) on the TV?

If it doesn't do this when using the control buttons it may be a problem with the IR sensor or sensor circuit in the TV.

If it doesn’t do this when using the TV control buttons is there a factory reset option in the TV menu options area that you can try?

Try a power refresh to see if this clears any corrupted data that may be stored in the TV.

Turn off the TV, turn off and totally disconnect the power from the TV, then press and hold the TV Power button for 30 seconds to drain any residual power from the TV. Reconnect and switch on the power to the TV, turn on the TV and check what occurs when using the remote and the TV control buttons."

What you do is you turn the tv on. You don’t press anything (you let the tv stay on until it goes into screensaver mode.) You wait until the tv gives you the option to automatically shut down or stay on. At that time it should allow you to press “stay on”. After letting you press that, you should be back in your remote and able to run to your settings if you have to fix anything.

"Same problem here. All of my remotes were turning off or on my tv.

What worked for me was this:

Take all batteries out of all remotes.

Turn tv off and on again with the on/off button on the tv.

Use buttons on the tv to scroll to retune.

Retune tv and when it’s finished, replace all batteries.

Everything worked fine after that for me."

I removed batteries, push power to drain it, put batteries back on when a commercial started, test it. Hopefully it helps others. I did push all the other buttons just in case & slightly pulled on them my thoughts so buttons wont be touching the board. Have a great year.
