Unfortunately, there is really no other way to unlock fpa other than using a remote control.

You can buy any universal remote control and this can be use to unlock fpa.

Good luck.

  • FPA stands for Front Panel Lock. It makes it so kids don't push all the buttons on the front of your TV. The power button on the TV will still work and the remote will still function as normal.

How do i get the fpa lock off without the original remote?
Hello
It is very difficult to unlock the FPA lock of RCA, without it original remote control. Just try to get it from anyone amoung your friends or relatives; just to open the FPA lock. You can use it after that, with the help of any other univrsal remote control. To open the FPA lock, do one amoung the following till you get the correct process for your TV.

Most RCA TV sets use a four digit code to control the v-chip. The code reset is different depending on the model. Try each number until you find the one that works for you.
  1. Hold down the MENU button on the remote and VOLUME DOWN button on the TV it's self at the same time for at least 4 seconds. The set won't say so, but the lock will be unlocked
  2. Hold down the 0 (zero) button on the remote and the VOLUME DOWN button on the TV itself at the same time for at least 4 seconds. The set won't say so, but the lock will be unlocked
  3. Hold down the MENU button on the front of the TV and the TV button on the remote at the same time for at least 4 seconds. 4- Hold down GO BACK button on the remote and MENU button on the front of the TV at the same time for at least 4 seconds.
  4. Hold down EJECT button on the front of the TV set and the MENU button on the remote at the same time for at least 4 seconds. Depending on the model, one of the methods should unlock the V-chip. Now, if desired, you can change the settings on the V-chip by going to the MENU and going to PARENTAL CONTROLS, or on some sets, going to MENU and then going to TV SETUP, then to V-CHIP SET.
OK.

RCA TruFlat 27F520T - FPA on and NO REMOTE
If you've lost the original remote there is nearly no possible way to unlock the unit. RCA built their PL so that the combination could be set and the parents would merely have to take the remote with them and it couldn't be changed...
As to the DVD I don't believe there is an input button on the face of the unit and I'm not real sure if you could find a universal that would allow that... Not even Miracle remote makes an alternative and their remoted are as good as the originals...
Sorry

FDA Lock
I have never heard of FDA lock. If you mean FPA lock, this is the Front Panel Access lock (also called Child Lock) built into the TV. To unlock FPA, turn the set on with the original remote, enter the menu, navigate to the page with FPA and set it to off.
