So I turned on my tv today (a 20" daewoo) and it acts as if the channel up button is stuck. It constantly channel ups! I tried quite a bit to fix it or at least figure out what the problem is.

I took the batteries out of the remote to see if that was causing it. It still happened, so it has nothing to do with the remote. I covered up the sensor and it still did it, so it has nothing to do with anything outside the tv.

I turned it off and on several times, and unplugged it for about half an hour. That didn't fix it either. I'm gonna leave it unplugged for longer though just in case.

I hit lots of buttons on the tv and actually had it fixed for about 20 minutes. I hit the menu button, which would cause it to stay on one channel, but then it would sit there and flip through all the menu selections (which is what the channel up button does) and while in menu, I hit channel up a couple times and it stopped. At this point the tv worked just like normal, but 20 minutes later it started doing it again.

So does anyone have any ideas for me or should I just take it back cause it is still under warranty? Thanks
