How to stop TV from turning on buy itself?

Pull out the plug.

You need an exorcist. For the sweet love of God, GET OUT OF THE HOUSE and keep little Carol Anne away from it too

My friend had a tv that came on every time she set up the ironing board. Apparently the noise of the ironing board was the same frequency as the remote. I think she just quit ironing.

Buy a new one that can be left by itself.

@gailcalled…I agree. She should wave bye-bye to her old one.

@chyna: that is totally my new excuse for not ironing. “Well, see, I would have, but every time I try to iron, the TV turns on so, eh…”

Call the Ghost Busters!

Spell “by” correctly, I wonce speledd wonce rong end mie computr now dosent hafe spel chek.

I would try unplugging it like vincentt said. Leave it that way for a while. then plug it back in and see if it stopped.

You could also try plugging it into a different outlet.

One on a different circuit if you can. See if that helps.

Are there any VCR’s or other external devices plugged in?
