Why wont my Westinghouse LCD TV turn off? Why wont any buttons on TV work? Why wont any buttons on remote work

Question

Its an old Westinghouse 30inch LCD tv/monitor. All of the sudden, I cant turn the TV off. The buttons on the TV do nothing. The buttons on the remote do nothing, even with fresh batteries. Im scared to unplug it in fear I wont be able to turn it on again, so I just turn off the cable box and leave it on a black screen. I cant change the input, access the menu, nothing. Thank god i have it hooked up to surround sound to control the volume. Anyone have this problem? Know how to fix? Is it time to throw it in a lake and buy a new TV? Thanks for any help!

Answer 1

Actually unplugging it and plugging it back may fix your problem - When in doubt, reboot :-)
