After you set the lock, you must use your pass code
to view a locked program, view the locked TV, view
a locked channel, cancel the lock, or enter the Lock
menus.
If you forget your pass code, you can view the locked
TV without entering your pass code. When you are
prompted for your pass code, press the number 9 and
QV keys on the TV remote control at the same time. This
process temporarily unlocks the TV.
When entering the Lock menu, this process deletes
your old pass code and prompts you to enter a new
pass code.
• You can either enter a new pass code to open the
Lock menu and make changes or press EXIT to close
the menu.
• If any of the locks are turned on and you exit the
menus when prompted for a new code, the old
code and all lock settings are retained.
• If all locks are turned off and you exit the menus
when prompted for a new code, then the previous
code is erased.
OK.
Hi ,
This is an indication of out-of-regulation in the power supply section. The very common caused of this fault is the dried-up/leaky electrolytic capacitor in that section. It will drop the supply from normal voltage and will disable the unit and blinking error appear. Sometimes it has a bulged/dome at the top but not all, it is better that you have a capacitor checker/tester to determine its condition. Also, bad solder joints can produce the same symptom, it is hard to spot, you should use table lamp/portable lamp for finding the cold solder. Secondary reason of fault is the open fuse/fusible resistor in series with the output of regulator IC/transistor, shorted/openRegulator IC/transistor, shorted zener diode(all are in the power supply section) and the microcontroller. Best that you check the output voltage of each regulator to determine where the fault came from and narrow the job.
If you don't have necessary tools and test instruments, and can't do the job yourself, I would advice you to look for a professional to troubleshoot the problem. Don't attempt to work in the power supply if you don't know the safety precaution of handling it, there some stored electricity enough to hurt you with a little mistake only.
Also check if your unit is under warranty /extended warranty, avail it because the manufacturer of your unit will fix it for free. Don
Diagnosis: If none of the above test resolve the issue, then the failure lies in one of the following:
