Two year old somehow managed to place a lock on TV. Only blue screen with red lock in left hand corner. What should I do?
Well after spending about 45 mins on hold and searching the internet for the last 2 days the resolution to this issue is to hold the display button down for 3 secs .... Yep thats it Hope this saves someone some time --Brian

Was in the bedroom studying and had my 18m son runnin in and out so i figured id sit him on the bed and let him have his way w/t controller ... after about 10 minutes of hearing him turn the system off and on and turning back n forth from the cooking channel he quietly brought me the remote and went in the living room to play w/his cars ... he didnt tell me he locked the TV ... thanksfor the tip - it worked ... u saved me alot of research and saved me from hearing my girls lip ... thank u sir ... *continues studying*

Thank you. My kids were fighting over watching/not watching Tila Tequila (blech) and it would have gone on for hours if this hadn't fixed our second tv. My hero.

OMG!! Thank you so much for your post! I have had the hardest time trying to fix the TV; pouring over the owner's manual, changing batteries, unplugging, etc. All to no avail. I can't thank you enough. (I'm realizing as I write this that I may be a little too invested in watching tv...)
