      Earlier today, I tried turning on my TV with my remote. Nothing happened. So I thought the batteries must be dead and pressed the power button on the Tv. It works! But it's in GAME mode (I was watching DVDs the last time I used it). To turn off GAME mode, I have to use a remote because its impossible to turn it off from the TV itself. So I figure I'll just grab my other remote and switch it back to normal so I can watch some TV while I work on some projects.

      ….. nothing. Whaaaaaat? Are the batteries in this remote dead too? So I grab a remote from the living room which also registers for my TV since its from the same company and the same remote model. NOTHING! Now this one I KNOW has good batteries, because I'm able to mess with the TV in the living room.
      I tried changing out batteries in my room remotes just to be sure, still nothing. I try unplugging my TV, leaving it unplugged for a while, and plugging it back in later. Still nothing!

      So. Now I'm trying to figure out if it's a fixable problem. My TV isn't super old, I've had it since High School. It's also fairly special seeing as how my Grandmother who I was very close to helped me purchase it (it was my first personal tv btw)
      So, if there's a chance of fixing it, I want to see if I can.
      Any ideas as to what the problem might be/how to fix it? Thanks!

        Sounds like a problem with the TV's signal receiving thingy.

          Yeah. Is the remote recieved by a cable box or something? Maybe you have to call up your cable company to fix it.

            No, the issue is in the TV. He wants to switch between different types of input. Y'know, AV, HTML, TV, RGB and other weird abbreviations.

              Yeah.

              There isn't a switch to do so on the TV itself?

              I have a small TV in my room that has no switch on the TV to turn on/off the GAME mode, so I can just switch the channels up or down which takes it off GAME mode, since it's like Channel 0 on my TV. Does your TV work like that, Moke?

                    they just don't make tv's like they used to. my parent's bought a new tv, and smelt burning plastic after a while. my dad opened up the back of the tv, and there is a little plastic box that hosts a light bulb or something, and the lightbulb was slowly melting and warping the plastic box. my dad took pictures and sent it to the company. they're getting a new tv out of it.

                    i remember back in the day, the 13 channel tv my brother and i had in the basement. we threw the remote around on purpose, and squealed with amazement at how it still worked after all the abuse. it was awesome. i got mad at my parents for throwing it out a few years back.

                          LOL Come join me on the old lady rocker section of the forums, then. We can watch the kiddies get all riled up and such, then talk about how in our day, kids were more well behaved. 😁 And BTW– I used to use that model cane. It's sooo last century.

                                yes (whine)

                                But I understood I needed an art program to make the actual size small… Someone I know just sent us PSP 7 in the mail. I haven't loaded it yet, but will that work? I'll make a new thread so I don't screw poor Mint's thread up any more than I already have...

                                (and there's plenty of room on the rocker, Mint--it's a bench style, lol)
