TV remote control reset procedure from tech support

I was able to get this information from Toshiba tech support. It is not posted in the Forums or Knowledge Base that I could find.
I have a 42" LCD TV model 42RV530U. The top row of buttons (on/off, picture size were the 2 I needed today) on the remote stopped working. Other buttons work fine.I tried new batteries and the TV reset procedure. Neither worked.
Here is what tech support said: Remove the batteries from the remote. Then press every button on the remote from top to bottom. EVERY button. Then re-insert the batteries. BTW, this did not work for me. So I'm ordering a new remote. They are only $19.99 plus shipping and handling. Having tech support talk you through the above remote control reset procedure is $35 if your TV is out of warranty. So the cheapest solution is just buy a new remote.
Hope this helps you today.
Cheers!

Sorry, the problem is solved. I was lazy reading the instructions and I have figured it out. The instructions DO help you!

    What would need to be set to allow a PC access?

    If you have enabled remote access (ssh) and you have configure your router to allow incoming ssh connections to your mac then you could access your mac via a terminal something like Putty on your pc and turn on screen sharing via the terminal.
    10.5: Start screen sharing remotely in Terminal
    You could install vine server on your mac, and again that could be lauched via an ssh connection.

  • How do I speak with someone from tech support for a issue??????

    I have tried many times to download the correct software for my HP OfficeJet 7410 printer. I always get a error message. "THE SYSTEM CAN NOT FIND THE FILE SPECIFIED". ("C:\Users\R61\AppData\Local\Temp\7z611S7\Setup\..\Setup\Blocksysus...) What is that???. Their wesite is of no value to help me. In frustration, then I tried to buy the driver software. Again, they could not help. I used to be able to print. Using their website, I was able to test print and test scan. All is well with that, so why can I not print? I have two other computers that are connected and print fine. My laptop will not print. It used too. Why are my downloads of the correct software not allowing the install of software?

    JDMAN
    The problem is likely one having to do with a previous installation failure or a minor corruption - a misplaced instruction, a bad link, something in the File System on the computer that is not where it belongs.
    Regardless, the issue is not likely the fault of the Full Feature Software.  That does not mean the computer is bad, it means that there is situation present on the computer that the normal installation program cannot handle.  Programs are smart, but there is a limit to what can be done during a standard installation.

    Option - Install from the Device Manager
    This is an alternate method to install the Driver that may be useful under some conditions. In the context of this overall procedure, it is necessary to have at least downloaded the software from the Printer’s support pages (so that the software package is located somewhere on the computer).

  • World's WORST Tech Support ? (actual reply from tech support insi

    Hi,
    recently I sent a question via email to tech support and I got a reply. I have got bad replies from creative tech support before and also from other so called 'tech support' but this one just crossed all limits!
    It is insane. Either the guy is absolute moron or thinks that everybody that he deals with is a moron and will accept whatever he will say.
    Does creative have any kind Quality check in their system as to how their support techs are performing ?
    Do they even have any clue what they are telling their customers ?
    Do they even have any clue what kind of damage they are doing to the brand ?
    I also take it as my insult! Who the heck they think they are talking to ?
    Someone please read my question and tell me if it was too difficult to understand ? And Please read their response and tell me if my feeble brain is not able to make the connection between the question and the reply!!

    Hi,
    I am sorry about your experience with support and have forwarded this to the respecti've department. The Audigy 2 NX will sample the signal at 96Khz when recording an analog signal at 96Khz from the Line input.
    Hope this answers your query.

  • Help needed..no help from tech support... V04/Line...

    hi..
    i'm looking for some help as i'm getting absolutely none from so called technical support..
    long story short, my home hub's broadband light started to flash orange last wednesday night so i called the helpline and was told there was a fault on my line... it all actually started when i tried to watch an on demand programme and got a "V04" error... now bearing in mind i've had BT Vision for about 6 months and the only time I had V04 was when i first started and "quality of service" wasn't on my line...
    anyway...
    the fault got fixed but i couldn't watch on demand still....V04 was still coming up... i was told by tech support that i had to wait for my broadband to get up to full speed again as the fault had essentially reset it and wouldn't take more than 48 hours...here i am 72 hours later and i still cannot access on demand and my broadband speed is still less than 1mb and now they're trying to fob me off saying thats my max speed despite me being a Vision customer for 6 months with no issue!!
    can anyone offer any advice on what to do next?? i feel i've taken it as far as i can with BT Tech Support

    The speedtester is at http://speedtester.bt.com/
    Just follow the instructions, enter your phone number and click the GO button. It will take a few minutes. When it's done there will be some text telling you the speed at which your router is sync'd to the exchange and it will also tell you the IP profile value.
    A speed test during my problem period included this text;
       Download speed achieved during the test was - 902 Kbps
       For your connection the acceptable range of speeds is 200 - 1000 Kbps
       Additional Information
       Your DSL Connection Rate: 6775 Kbps(DOWN-STREAM), 1107 Kbps(UP-STREAM)
       IP Profile for your line is - 1000 Kbps
    So my understanding is that I was connected to the exchange at 6775 Kbps but my download speed was limited to 1000 Kbps by the IP profile. I left the hub switched on for three days and after being continuously connected at 6775 with no disconnections the IP profile value increased to 5000 Kbps and Vision VOD started working again.
    If you see a DSL connection rate of only (say) 1100 Kbps then that's not good  In this situation I'd personally try rebooting the hub to see if it re-syncs at a higher speed but some people may say this is a bad thing to do (another disconnect event). However if you see a high connection rate but a low IP profile then the profile is capping you. In this case delve deeper into the hub information (Advanced -> Status -> ADSL Line -> Details) and see how long the connection has been establshed, i.e. does it keep disconnecting. If it's stable then the IP value should increase after the three days. If the hub has already been sync'd at a high speed for three days then the IP profile may be stuck, or there may be other things going on such as line noise. The broadband people should be able to connect to your hub to perform tests on such things, but my experience was that they wanted to wait the three days first to see if it would sort itself out.
    Hope this helps.

  • Hi! I would like to remote control my iPad from my Windows PC. Is that possible?

    Hi! I would like to remote control my iPad (my sister has borrowed it and is in another city!) from my Windows PC OR from another iPad I use at home.
    Is that possible?

    TeamViewer allows you to control a PC or Mac from an iPad, not to control an iPad from another device. You can, as I said, push settings, do some reporting, transfer documents, and some other administration functions:
    http://www.teamviewer.com/en/products/mobile-device-support.aspx
    but again, remote control of an iOS device is not possible.

  • Great Service From Tech Support Adam #974024

    This is a long one but to the point and thanks for taking the time to read! 
    Yesterday I spoke with 3 separarate Customer Service Agents at 3 separate times. No one knew the problem with my set-top box. Each rep kept sending my ticket issue to tech support, video groups, did power resets. Which is fine but none of these steps nor departments were able to solve my Fios problem.
    Later on that evening I was contacted by tech Adam, which he as well asked me the same questions the 3 other agents had asked me earlier in the day. At that moment, I said to myself "Here we go again". As I sat and watched DVD's in the absence of my cable service I heard clicks and my set top box flickering messages and finally the time stamp displayed and all was good in the world. Cable was FINALLY back on!!
    Seconds later I got a call back from the intelligent,troubleshooter Adam. He listened to my story and actually analyzed what I said and came up with an answer. Why couldn't the other 3 agents that spoke with tech support/video group earlier in the day figure this out.
    We are all human but I felt that I needed to express the quickness and great satisfaction that I have experienced. Overall, the situation was rectified within 24 hours but the service received from Adam was most pleasurable. Not only because he was the tech that fixed the problem. But because he actually had a brain and let me know what his thought process was in coming to a solution.
    For all you other verizon customers that have the problem with having your Fios suspended. Please let the tech know that he/she needs to also send a message not only to the set top box in your living room but to the other box (forgot the name) that is outside the house. MAybe its called the video box?
    Again, thank you for taking the time to read this!

    Wow, what a great experience! It's what we all expect of Customer Service and rarely get, so it is nice to know that Apple can do it.

  • Remote Control and FQDN from admin console

    Hi everyone, I want to validate something with the community.
    I have an environment with two domain and there is no DNS Suffixes pushed.
    When looking at the properties of some computers on the second domain, I can validate that the full name of the computer is there.
    When trying the remote control form the console, the computer cannot be reach.
    When using the stand alone remote tool, and entering the complete computer name, the computer can be reach.
    Is it normal that ConfigMgr is not using the information he is retrieving from the inventory.
    I know that the simple answer is pushing more DSN suffixes but I was in the idea that the complete name was used and wanted to validate. I will probably ask for an addition for a next version or update.
    Thank you all!
    Mathieu

    Hi,
    As you write it would be an change request for the next release of Configuration Manager, I would reccomend that you file it on the Connect site.

  • NEWS FROM TECH SUPPORT - UPDATED LINK COMING to SOLVE OUTLOOK SYNCING ETC

    I talked to Tech support today Regarding Outlook sync... there is a work around... defining a hotmail account (with hotmail connector)  in outlook , making hotmail the contact database.... it will sync to the online hotmail account . when you then create the hotmail email on your Z10 .. it does have sync options for your contacts, and calendar.. not a big deal for me because I already had a htomail account in Outlook (as well as 3 other business accounts...
    ALSO:
    the tech guy says by end of month ( I suspect before US release):
    Blackberry will have:
    * IMPROVED MIGRATION FROM OLD BLACKBERRYs
    * "OPPOURTUNITIES to IMPORT CALENDAR, etc. (whatever that means)
    * TWO WAY SYNC to OUTLOOK

    Thank you.
    This same coming Link upgrade was announced in this forum three weeks ago:
    http://supportforums.blackberry.com/t5/BlackBerry-​Z10/New-Blackberry-10-Sync-to-Outlook/m-p/2170993#​...
    And the Outlook.com/Hotmail sync is detailed here:
    http://helpblog.blackberry.com/2013/02/how-to-setu​p-outlook-to-wirelessly-synchronize-your-contacts-​...
    But I can assure you, the outlook.com/hotmail sync workaround is only a workaround, not a solution. I've been using this not for ~weeks and it works, just not a complete solution.

  • DSL worse than dialup.... no help from tech support

    about 3-4 weeks ago we started to need to reboot the modem MORE than the typical 3-4 times a day.Then our phone landline went out completely.  Back within a day and since then, the DSL has been 100% useless. I run a speedtest and get 1.2.   I get on chat with tech support (super fun by the way) and run the speed test a few more times and am told it's ok. (the speed magically goes up when I'm on chat..weird). Last time i was told to run a speed test it took 2.5 minutes to LOAD THE WEBSITE for the speed test.then the speed test results came back ant about 2.7 Mbps. I have no idea how i can have a decent speed test yet it takes dial up speed times to wait for pages to load.I used to be able to stream shows without issue.  now it buffers for 90 seconds to watch 10 seconds of show.RIDICULOUS. I'm convinced our line was never fixed properly from the outage a couple weeks ago.Do I need to send in a repair ticket for 'noise on my line' to get service.  "Ansari" over in India is not worth chatting with. Done wasting hours of my life chatting about a problem that needs fixed here. Last time i complained to the PA-UC about the frequent phone issues in our area, Verizon's official response was there were "mouse nests in our box that were causing the phone line outages". I have zero other options.  Time-Warner won't run line out our way.  Co-Ax won't come our way either.FIOS?  ha yeah that'll never be an option.  Satellite internet is slow and expensive.  Cellular Mi-fi is barely tolerable. I have no idea what to do now to get something fixed.maybe the PA-UC or BBB needs notified again.

    Hi buk542,
    Your issue has been escalated to a Verizon agent. Before the agent can begin assisting you, they will need to collect further information from you. Please go to your profile page for the forum and look at the top of the middle column where you will find an area titled "My Support Cases". You can reach your profile page by clicking on your name beside your post, or at the top left of this page underneath the title of the board.
    Under "My Support Cases" you will find a link to the private board where you and the agent may exchange information. The title of your post is the link. This should be checked on a frequent basis, as the agent may be waiting for information from you before they can proceed with any actions. To ensure you know when they have responded to you, at the top of your support case there is a drop down menu for support case options. Open that and choose "subscribe". Please keep all correspondence regarding your issue in the private support portal.

  • HP Probook 4510S says "Plugged in Not Charging," little help from tech support

    Hi there,
    I have a two year old HP Probook 4510S that has had a ton of problems. The most recent of which was an error message every time I turned on the computer saying "Batter is critically low" and it stopped charging and said that power was 0% (it continued to work though if it was plugged in and would die immediately if the plug was removed). I replaced the battery ($108), which took about a month to receive because HP apparently sent the store the battery that goes with the new model of Probook and said it would fit in the old model (it didn't and had to be sent back). When I finally got the new battery it worked for about a day and then I noticed that the message said "Plugged in, not charging" and when the charger isn't plugged in the battery seems to deplete rapidly. Now it's at 36% and not charging.
    I spoke to someone today at tech support and she said because it's out of warranty they couldn't help me, but that I should "try a friend's charger" to diagnose the problem myself, as though everyone has the same charger. When I said I didn't have access to another laptop to try another charger she just repeated that I need to try it on a different charger to see if it's a problem with the battery or the charger. But that if it's the battery and I provide them with proof of purchase they could replace that. The battery is brand new and doing the same thing as the last battery, so I doubt this is the problem. I said that I had seen messages all over the internet discussing this problem and that no one seemed to have the answer and she said "Those are on the internet, we haven't substantiated those claims." I'm shocked that HP doesn't seem to care that they get a bad reputation for offering so little help if a product is out of warranty. Because of this experience I doubt I would purchase another product from them, and I would warn others against it too. I've had more computer problems with HP than any other brand of laptop I've had or any of my friends/family have had. In the meantime, has anyone else had this problem? From the forums I've read it seems that occasionally people find solutions, but none seem to be working for me. Any insight would be much appreciated.

    I did a BIOS update on my ProBook 4530s and it took care of the problem

  • Remote control of iPad from computer or another iPad

    Hello!
    Dear all,
    I'm trying to find an application that wiil allow me to control an iPad (3,4) remotely from my Windows computer or from another iPad.
    I know there are plenty of apps doing the opposite (e.g. control your computer using the iPad, - teamviewer etc) but I cannot find an application doing the same job the other way. I need it for company reasons, because we have many customers using iPads with our applications installed on them.
    Please let me know if something like this exists. I am for Greece so i;m talking for the local App Store.
    Thank you,

    Has anybody heard anything about an app called SOTI MobiControl?
    It says that with this software installed you can control your iPad  from your computer desktop.
    Thank you,

  • Remotely control your PC from ANYWHERE in the world using JAVA/RMI!

    I have just developed a project named XtremePC.
    This well commented Java project involved RMI technology, can be used to control the server from anywhere in the world including features of listing running processes, file transfer, shutdown/logoff/lock/restart server PC, execute programs, browsing in DOS/Linux fashion. The server is protected by encrypted password. I bet my time and energy on this project most for increase the strength instead of designing GUI. In response to huge request from AIUB, Bangladesh teachers and students for uploading my project of Object Oriented Programming-1 course, I have decided to come up with this Java RMI project with source code!! (Tested on jdk1.3, 1.4)
