The original problem of turning off and on randomly could have been caused by a loose switch or contact in the front panel, or something similar like a short in the control circuitry. This might have also caused random features to become activated in the TV's menus; like the v-chip lockout feature, which is what you're describing now. I'm unable to find an online user's manual to see if there's a way to reset the v-chip lockout. Try a default password like 0000 or 1234, and if that doesn't work, see if you can find the user's manual (hopefully you kept it!) and look for instructions there on how to reset the v-chip feature or what the default password is.

Hi there, You may contact to your service provider Samsung Highlight Unlock Code, they can open up all networks for you where you want to use your phone, once your phone is unlock, it will work with any networks worldwide without sticking to one network only. You may visit Samsung Unlock Code, they will provide you an accurate code with easy to follow instructions on how to unlock your phone.

Hope this is helpful...
Thanks.
