Re the lack of a remote control....

I don't think you will be able to get much joy from your set without
one. A search shows that this one

suits the 32XBR450, 36XBR450 and 40XBR700

Then you will need some info on the service mode

Hi Ross,
actually I have my remote.
I'm not the original poster, I contributed to the post
because I had similar symptms the headphones LED.
The OP never responded back yet. Shame, we might have
been able to find some commonality what with this
very odd symptom and all.
