RedM Posted May 14, 2005 Share Posted May 14, 2005 Maybe she got a static shock. What make and model do you have? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kosmic Posted May 14, 2005 Share Posted May 14, 2005 Could one of the buttons on the tv itself jammed? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
neilg Posted May 14, 2005 Author Share Posted May 14, 2005 Right just had a mess with the remote. the buttons seem ok and if i take the batterys out it still does it. I thought she got a static shock too, seems wierd how it started doing it at the same time though (the TV was on at the time). She also says it was worse than static. the TV is a LG 28" widescreen thing (ill try find a model number) Perhaps it could be something with the buttons on the front.

That happened at the start of Poltergeist, I'd move out and sell the house now, if I was you mate. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nic Posted May 14, 2005 Share Posted May 14, 2005 Is the girlfriend hiding behind the settee with the remote playing tricks on you Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
terribleturner Posted May 15, 2005 Share Posted May 15, 2005 How old is the tv mate?? First thing to do is unplug it for a half hour or longer. When it flicks over is it straight away or say like a second or more?? Was the girlfriend cleaning it?? What did she use and where did she spray it??
