Accidentally hit the tamper proof button on the remote while watching a VCR last night. Could not turn the tv off, no button functions would work. Unplugged it, tried again 3 more times and the tamper proof key light on the front of the tv comes on now when I plug the tv in, but no picture. I can't find the booklet that came with the tv. I'm sure it is in some box in the garage. Tried looking on the tv for a button to reset the tv - none. Tried hitting buttons at the same time on the remote and tv to get the tamper proof light to come off, and nothing. Any ideas?
-   TV dark blank screen; tamper proof light on; other than light tv "dead"; held tamper proof button down on original remote and no response. -   Guest

-   Tamper proof light is on and TV doesn't respond. Tried disconnecting electricity. Tried holding down multiple buttons at the same time. Product is 13VT-K150 TV VCR Combo. Moreover, Sharp doesn't recognize product on their website!-   LisaZ

Hold down the tamper proof button on your remote for up to ten
seconds, until the tamper proof light will blink and light
will go off. This will turn off the Tamper Proof button.
Let me know how it goes.

We are trying to install a digital converter box, can't seem to change the input from "cable". Does anyone know how to change the input on this TV? Pushing the input button multiple times doesn't do it.
