    Another Major Problem with new TV

    Oh gees, another problem with the new 60" LCD. My less than 2 yr old daughter picked up the remote tonight and was playing around, the STB remote. No big deal right. Well, poof! The screen goes dark except for the upper left corner which says "Video 1" and under that "Cable Box". Now that I think about it, my cable box isn't hooked up to Video 1, it can't be. It's Video 5 via component. Anyway, I can't get it off the screen, more importantly I can't get my cable to come in, I mean anything. I've tried resetting as in the manual. Hold down reset and power off at the same time, well this doesn't work. It doesn't power down. Tried unplugging it for a while to, still same thing.

    Any suggestions appreciated.

    Here's The Obvious One & I'm Not Being Sarcastic

    Call either Customer Service at the TV Manufacturer's company or call the place you bought it from or call the Cable company. There probably is a reset button in any case that will restore things to the original settings anyway.

    Sounds like she just changed the input to Video 1 where nothing is hooked up, change it back to Video 5 where everything is hooked up.

    NA's right. Look at the remote and hit the "input" button and cycle through until you get to the right one.

    I agree with the above, but I responded thru your Electronics Expo thread.
    Good luck

    By now you must've fixed the problem, eh? Did one of the recommended solutions work?

    If so, don't you think it's about time you took your daughter off The Rack and gave her a meal and some water?
