SOURCE: dtv

I followed your suggestion and it works! You certainly do push the
info
menu
mute
power buttons but I cannot remember the exact order.

I may have pressed them altogether, or in a quick sequence and it may have been in standby mode or switched on.

Fiddle with it, because it does work.

What will happen is that you will get a set of commands on the screen. Use the remote to get to RESET. At first I coudn't get this to work as I kept pressing the "enter" button in an attempt to select this option, but actually you just need to press the right arrow button to select it.

Reset comes into place. Wait a while and press a channel number, then just re-tune. You will have to re-tune anologue and digital. This works - please share with others. Eamonn

SOURCE: mintex 37 inch wide screen. remote is working however cannot change channel, input source or volum. only turns tv off. The buttone on tv doesnot work connot change input source or volume

Check if the remote is in TV position, that is, because most of the remote controllers have the feature that you can program them for use with another devices. Make shure that one button that says "TV" in pressed and released once before you try to change any function on the TV.

Sharp aquos will not turn on. power opc light flashing

I got a Sharp Aquos Quattron LC-60LE847U, a 60inch LED TV, I only brought it for a year and 4 months, factory only a have one year warranty. Last week when my kid try to turn on the TV, the TV power light keep repeat blinking in 2 slow and 5 fast sequence, don't know what did it mean. When I press the power button, the light will stay on for few seconds and it kept blinking after, the TV cannot turn on at all.
My kid have called the Sharp help line in US, number found in user manual, but the Canada help line are different number, it is 1-877-278-6709, they told my kid to unplug the TV, hold down the Input and the Volume down key, then plug the power back on, the TV can turn into service mode, it have a K icon on the screen, but every time I selected the menu, it went away very quick. Then the customer assistant told my kid to call service.
When I did a lot of research, every solution seems to point to the power supply, so I bought a power supply from ebay, replaced it, it does the same thing, no different at all, then I turn the TV back on in service mode, to try to do a reset from the menu, upgrade the firmware, re-seat all ribbon cables of the main board and the middle logic board (Not sure what is that board call, it is in the middle of the TV), neither way can make any different, the TV light still blinking in same sequence.
So I kept doing the research, I find out another way to reset the TV back to factory setting just by holding down the Volume up and Channel down, then plug in the TV, kept hold it down those 2 buttons until the TV came back on. TV will reset for just by doing this. Happy news, problem seems to get fixed, but not 100 %. The TV seems no problem to turn off and on after reset, but if I unplugged it, the blinking problem will come back, but if I reset it one more time, it will works again until I unplug it again. It is better than completely dead.
Then I unplug the TV, removed all ribbon cables (6 ribbon connectors), use sand paper to clean all the ribbon cable contacts, don't rub it too hard in case the cable contacts get destroy, then re-seat all the ribbon cables. After I did that, everything back to normal and my TV got fixed completely.
This seems to be my way to fix it, not sure everyone can use the same method to fix their blinking power light problem, but I hope this tips can help some people to save big buck to the Sharp service. This TV is over $2000 dollars and I brought few pair of the expensive 3D glasses, I do hope it can last longer, didn't expect it have problem already, it just less than a year and half old and even I bought the power supply to tried to fix it but I ended up didn't needed to spend any money and solved the problem.
Hope this helps.

I cannot retune my samsung tv- model no LE37C53CF1W- COULD YOU ADVISE HOW TO RETUNE, mANY THANKS, Jim Lauder

Hi,Does the icon look like a large satellite dish?
Make sure your TV is on "TV" and not "DTV" before retuning.

To re-tune analogue channels:

I have a Samsung TV and that icon is not accessible from the menu if i am watching the tv on the digital option of my remote. You have to switch your tv to the "tv" option on your remote and you will be able to access the icon from your menu.
(on your remote, you should have a button with TV/DTV on it)

To re-tune analogue channels, if you want to re-tune digital channels, then look for the "D MENU" button on your remote. Press this then scroll down to the icon that looks like a large satellite and then on "Auto Store" This will re-tune your digital channels :0)


Take care and hope it helped.

Parental lock

Child Lock

Combos
--Should have original remote. Press and hold the power button for 6 to 10 seconds


Combo Model T25208, V-Chip Forgotten Password
If you forget your password, simultaneously press VOLUME down on the TV/VCR front panel and the 0 number button on the remote for a few seconds. This resets the password and you can enter a new one.

Combo Model 13TVR62, V-Chip Forgotten Password
If you forget your password, press STOP/EJECT on the TV/VCR front panel and MENU on the remote simultaneously. This resets the password, but not the limits you’ve set.
Televisions with Parental Lock Feature


If you forgot your password for this feature, press the following buttons on the remote, one at a time. (Note: You must be in the password entry screen) Press, Mute, Display,Clear and Reset, this unlocks parental controls and you can now re-enter a new password.
OR TRY THIS..
Press and hold Menu on the TV AND volume down on the remote for 3 seconds. Nothing will appear on the screen, and the Parental Controls will unlock, and you can re-enter a new password with the LOCK PARENTAL CONTROLS

CTC169AU
Channels that have been locked can be viewed only when the PARENTAL CTRL function is set to OFF. This can only be done with the remote control-it can not be changed with the buttons on the front of the TV.

Therefore, after you turn on PARENTAL CTRL, you simply hide the remote control so that your children can not watch the locked channels. The locked-out channels will remain unviewable even if the TV is unplugged or the channels are autoprogrammed again. The only way to view locked channels is to use the supplied remote control to set the PARENTAL CTRL function to OFF.

The PARENTAL CTRL and the CHAN CTRL functions work hand-in-hand. The instructions below will first tell you how to turn parental control on or off with the PARENTAL CTRL function and then how to lock desired channels with the CHAN CTRL function.
1. Repeatedly press MENU to select SETUP MENU, and then press + or - to display setup functions. Repeatedly press MENU to select the PARENTAL CTRL function. . When this function is set to ON, PARENTAL CTRL is activated and any channels you locked with the CHAN CTRL function will not be viewable. . When this function is set to OFF, PARENTAL CTRL is deactivated and all channels are viewable.

2. To lock channels, press the MENU button to select the CHAN CTRL function. Select a channel you want to lock by pressing CHANNEL up or down. Then press +. The CHAN CTRL setting will change from NORMAL to LOCKED when that channel is locked. To return the channel to NORMAL, press the - button. Repeat step 2 for each channel you want to lock. If the PARENTAL CTRL function is set to ON while you are locking out channels, each channel will go blank as you lock it. When the PARENTAL CTRL function is set to ON and a channel which has been locked out is tuned, the TV will display the words PARENTAL CONTROL to let your kids know you have locked it.

CTC185's
If the front panel function buttons don't work, (menu, ch up/dn etc.) but the functions work normal with the remote, enter the "Channel" menu with the remote and turn "Parental Control" off.

CTC203's
In the event you have forgotten your password, perform the following procedure:
Press and hold for 3 seconds the TV button on the remote while pressing the menu button on the TV.
This procedure will turn off the parental lock and erase the previous password .

Another Possibility To Try For Various Models: If TV's in the Parental mode and askes for a password that's forgotten, Press menu on the TV, select Parental Lock #4 on menu, then with the remote press Mute, Display, Clear, and Reset buttons in sequence.

TX808 Chassis
If Parental Controls have been set and you don't know the password, do this:
Press and hold the volume down and the channel up buttons at the same time for 5 seconds.
Now you can reset the password to 0000, and using that password you can now access the V-Chip menus.

TV's (Made by Daewoo or possibly Apex, ie. GE model 24GP653)
The factory default pass code of 6688 is also the override code, in case the owner forgets their pass code. If that doesn't work, another place in the owners manual says to push Function and Mute on the remote at the same time. Function is the top right button.

Need help

ensure the tv is in analogue mode, not dtv and turn it off. with the remote: press info then, menu, then mute then power. these buttons need to be pressed sequentially not all at the same time and in quick succession. a menu will appear on the tv. navigate to the reset option and press the left arrow key on the remote (or press the enter/ok button) the tv will reset itself and turn off. turn the tv back on & it'll re tune all its channels. DTV should be working again.
