Pushed the "manual" button on back of tv and now I can't get out of it. The remote won't work. Any ideas?

        Assuming you don't have the manual:  Look up the brand & exact model and google it + manual

        Several websites download pdfs of just about every appliance and electronic device-- most are free and you can download them to your computer for this and future needs. 
Without it (and assuming it is not something simple that unplugging and letting it reset won't fix) we'd all likely just be guessing...

        Second
is the remote charged or out of battery power?  Third
 is the eye on the remote clean? 
Sometimes its best to go to the simple fixes first.
Then.

        I have fresh batteries and I agree that it's best to try the simple fixes first. I'm still working on it

        I told her we will laugh about this Lucy/Ethel moment in no time. What else can I say?
