my TV's gone crazy!

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

Sounds like you hit the channel up button a few times to unstick it?

Take it back if you can.

We could give you all kinds of advice about opening it up and troubleshooting but once you start down that path you reduce your chances of warranty coverage.

Reminds me of a tech malfunction from a few years ago. My VCR would stop in the midde of the tape. The auto-stop tension sensor was faulty, but the deck was under warranty so I took it to Sony's regional service center. The tech had the sack to suggest I close my blinds to fix the problem. Seriously, he explained that neighbors often point remotes through the window.

yeah, after messing with it some more, i'm pretty sure it is just the button getting stuck. I don't know why it randomly decides to channel up though. I can unstick it, but then after awhile it just starts channelling up again. Then I unstick it again and so on. I don't even know why it would stick because i've never used the buttons on the tv. I guess I'll just have to take it back
thanks
