"HOLD" When I push the play button the LCD screen only says "HOLD" and nothing happens. It's worked great for over a year. Any ideas?

Delete button will only work in the PLAY setting (for playing back the images on the LCD screen) OR, immediately after you've taken the photo and it is still displayed on the screen.

Hold down power button. Google the model of the MP3 player for online instructional if that doesn’t work.

try to press and hold Fn and F8 - this is to toggle screen setting to ext and back to LCD on laptop. if nothing happens turn off computer by pressing power button, unplug the ac adapter, remove the battery. remvoe residual electricity from computer by pressing power button 10 times. just plug again the ac and leave the battery out. Pres and hold the letter D and while holding that press the power button once and release both of them. it will perform the built in self test on the lcd. if nothing happens, turn off computer. press anf hold Fn and while holding it press power button. it will perform diagnosis on computer. if still nothing happens need to repalce motherboard and LCD.

This just means the On Screen Display (OSD) is locked. Press and hold the menu button on the front panel for 10 seconds.

sliding the hold button twice then holding the centre button and pressing menu button cleared fault and
has operated great since then


thanks

Thought these additional details might help as we are having a similar problem.

When the washer is turned on we get a blank screen, then after a bit we see the display flash. After sometime flashing then we see it go to normal and we can run it. It is as almost as if it need to warm up...

We can get the display to show faster, by playing with the knob. However, the machine still needs time before we can use it.

Any ideas?

Thanks in advance.

faulty power switch on the play button? Try reflashing the firmware most MP3 player companies will post firmware updates on their websites usually under "support" once you reflash the player try it again. If it still doesn't work i have one other idea although it may sound stupid. Did you put batteries in it or is it an internal battery?

does it work at all or shut off before starting to play?
do you have a cable company? who?
what state are you in
and do you want to sell the tv?

When things freeze up like this, usually a Firmware reload is the thing to attempt. You should have a disc with the player - follow the instructions carefully.

switch the hold button on and off, then hold horizontally, and push the menu button and center button at the same time. hold them down untill the ipod restarts and the apple logo apears. If that doesen't work, plug into the newest itunes program, and push restore.
