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...)

Padlock, blue screen

Somehow in handling the remote control I pushed a button or combination of buttons and now have a blue screen with a lock symbol in red in the top left hand corner. I've tried turning the tv off, and unplugging it, as well as a combination of buttons on the remote, but it still is there.
What do I need to do to remove the lock?

TV HAS ORANGE KEY IN LOWER LEFT HAND CORNER OF SET.

Possibly the Child Lock feature has been activated. To DeActivate the child lock hold the Function key while you press the Mute key.

Blue screen and red padlock

It sounds to me like a child lock function, which is usually what the screen + padlock is on TVs. Usually your original remote would have a button / sequence to unlock the mode. If you still have your original remote, look for a child lock button or refer to your remote manual (and/or TV manual for the child lock feature) to unlock the mode.
