I have a 27" Sony Wega, flat screen TV. While watching the TV, a menu screen continually pops up. The menu screen says Sony Initial Set up. When it first began I could hit the down channel button and make it go away for a while but now the remote does not always operate the TV.
I have unplugged the set to see if there was a reset. I have also performed a factory reset on the unit but neither has helped.
The menu screen comes and goes but is on more often than not. Any help would be appreciated.
First thing to check would be all of the buttons on the front of the TV set. Make sure none of them are depressed or stuck. simply lightly depress every one and make sure that they all feel the same way. If this does not correct the problem then one or more of these small tact switches behind the buttons are corroded or have electrical leakage and may need to be replaced. If that does not help. you have a microprocessor problem or maybe the Five volts of B+ that is supplied to the microprocessor circuit is low. Good luck with this repair and let us know if you got this set repaired and what the problem was.
As much as I hate say this the set seems to have healed itself. The menu screen has not popped up in quite some time. I did try pushing all the buttons to make sure nothing is stuck. All the buttons seemed fine, but it is probably hard to tell. I hate when something is fixed and I don't think I fixed anything but at least the set is working.
The set is working just fine, and the remote control works again so I am going to leave it alone until something happens again. Thanks for all your help.
