problem with getting tv off standby mode.

[abbiecoulthard]

Hi I have just recently bought a tv second hand and when we got it, it was working fine but kept going into sleep mode but wouldnt let os access the menu to be able to turn that timer off. So we got a universal remote but now the tv has gone into stanby mode before we got chance to connect the remote to the tv,so when we try to turn it on it goes straight back off and doesnt give us a chance to take it out of standby or sleep mode. Any suggestions on wht this problem may be, or how we may be able to fix it?
