AOC L26W861 LCD TV : 1. When TV is turned on using remote, it just recycles through all the pre-programmed channels 2. Unplugged the power chord several times but is still does the same 3. Power button on TV dosnt work 4. Where is the reset button on this TV?

As a engineer I have been trying for a couple of years and have had no feedback from them

You might need to do a hardware reset if somebody programmed a password into your TV. This will erase all settings and set it back to the factory defaults.

Try this:
1. Press and hold "Menu" and "Channel+" on the TV. (do not use the remote)
2. Using the other hand, press the Power button.
3. A small screen should appear in the top left part of the screen.
4. Using the remote, select "Memory Recall" and Enter.
5. Power off and reboot the TV and Computer.
6. Run channel auto-scan to regain the picture.

Hi there , sound like it may need output caps replaced in the power supply .

This sounds like a common problem on these TVs. Try a factory reset:

1. Press and hold "Menu" and "Channel+" on the TV. (do not use the remote)
2. Using the other hand, press the Power button.
3. A small screen should appear in the top left part of the screen.
4. Using the remote, select "Memory Recall" and Enter.
5. Power off and reboot the TV and Computer.
6. Run channel auto-scan to regain the picture.

4. Using the remote, select "Memory Recall" and Enter.
5. Power off and reboot the TV and Computer.
6. Run channel auto-scan to regain the picture.

If this still does not work, perform steps 1-3, but when you get to step 4, select "EEPROM Init". Then steps 5 and 6 to power it off and back on.

This sounds like a common problem on these TVs (it's happened to both of my AOC TVs a couple times). Try a factory reset:

1. Press and hold "Menu" and "Channel+" on the TV. (do not use the remote)

Hi there , maybe to late by now but sounds like the panel lock is on you can only remove it by using the remote and going into the menu and turning the panel lock off .

The power supply board is the causes and the problems.That board,where the power a/c cord plug into it.Tries websites like Shopjimmy.com,Ebay.com to buy a whole refurbish power supply board for the replacement.

Just kept repeating the U-Vesre procedure over and over and Wham! Persistance was the key.
