Sony KV-32FS12. Buttons on the TV don't work, the remote don't work. Now stuck in one channel. Can access Menu with TV button but can't go anywhere. Unplugged from main power source still no go. Tried pressing Display, Channel 5, Volume , power (as suggested online) but no go. Looked for a reset button on rear of tv but can't find it. Any idea? Thanks so much!

read manual (pages 27 and 28)

you need to change the control board or the touch buttons

there is only autotune button on the panel which means it programmes all findable channels in serial order. sorry to say there is no other way without remote commander.

Is the favorite channel menu a function that is normally accessed by a button on the remote?

If so, that button on the remote might be stuck.
If this is the case, the menu may at times pop up all by itself and other buttons on the remote and on the TV's front panel may not respond at all (it had happened on my remotes more than once).

Try to clean the remote control (the housing, rubber pad with knobs, circuit board) with ethyl alcohol, when you clean the housing, you should also clean the holes through which the buttons protrude, there might be some dirt that keeps the button stuck.

It may also be a stuck button on the TV front panel, so check these too.

Also, it could be something else, i just wrote the description of a problem and the solution which to me seemed most likely.

Hope you get it fixed.

Maybe the other channels was skip. check it Menu setting under Preset menu. check other channel it should be skip OFF.

THER ARE NUMEROUS THINGS THAT MAY HAVE CAUSED YOUR PROBLEM. TAKE IT IN TO A SONY AUTHORIZED SERVICER

Apparently, channels have to be autoprogrammed first before those buttons will work.

Our TV is 4 years old but we never used the channel buttons bc it was always hooked up to DirecTv thru video input. SO when we disconnected the TV to sell, we thought it was a problem.

Some models require two buttons to be pressed together for menu access - usually at the bottom or side.

If you have a menu button on
the front panel you can by
using the ^/v </> buttons
(ch up ch dn vol up vol dn)buttons
to navigate the onscreen menu
If not you will need to purchase a
universal remote with a menu set
enter tv/vid pip button and a working
code for your tv you may have to try
more than 1
