Re: RCA Model 46LA45RQ picture fine but no sound and buttons/remotes not working

Okay, thanks! I'll have to do it tomorrow.

Hello! I'm hoping I can get an idea of what might be wrong with my television to decide if I can possibly repair it myself, need to take it into a shop, or just learn to live without a tv for a little while until we can save up for a new one. (starts to cry... )

Our RCA tv has a picture but no sound, and the side buttons are not working at all (power, volume, input, channel--all don't work). It is stuck on input 3. I can turn the TV on and off with the TV remote or with the cable remote, but I can't do any other functions with the TV remote (input, channel, menu, volume, etc.)....

Hello! My name is Erin, and I am the fix-it person in our household. I can't always fix things myself, but I like to at least try (or at the very least, go to a professional technician with a little knowledge so we can save time). Joined because I have an immediate question about our TV which developed some issues yesterday, but also because I think this forum could be helpful when other such problems arise. Thanks so much!
