Factory Resets Listing

Over time, I have created a listing of manufacturers and their factory reset/factory mode
Join Date: Oct 2011 procedures that may help others. This list is from my own experience, and is by no means
City & State: US Midwest complete for any given manufacturer. Some have been found by searching the internet, some
My Country: US by trial and error. I hope some may find this information useful
Line Voltage: 120VAC 60Hz

Some of these procedures may allow you to enter factory service modes. IF YOU DO NOT
KNOW WHAT YOU ARE DOING, DO NOT MAKE CHANGES TO SETTINGS IN FACTORY MODES!!
Improper settings may cause undesired operation, and could result in a situation where your
TV cannot boot/turn on.
YOU ARE USING THESE PROCEDURES AT YOUR OWN RISK!!
Factory Resets / modes
For all listed procedures, start with TV on, in TV mode, unless otherwise instructed.
After procedure is complete, unplug set and re-plug in to finish reset.
If more than one procedure is listed for a given manufacturer, try the different ones until you
see which one works for your set.

NEC:
While powering on hold "MENU" or "INPUT" on TV, depending on model. (Only disables error
lock out/buffer and puts TV in temporary service mode.)
To reset to factory, on remote, Off Timer - Menu - Exit - Off Timer, then select reset option.
I vote for sticky!

You guys have some strange named sets in the Northern latitudes!
Join Date: Jan 2012
Posts: 1 Here in South Africa - and I guess most of the Southern Hemisphere - we are reluctantly
getting used to a myriad of Chinese sets with Anglic-sounding names like 'Ultravision' and
Germanic ones like 'Bauer'.
Inside they are mostly Chinese generic boards and most respond to the following for factory
mode:
Hold down volume minus (Volume down) on set and press 'recall' on remote.
'Recall' is the button that activates the channel number and clock onscreen.
After you have made your changes, in most cases, pressing 'power' on the remote will clear
the factory mode.
On some models pressing the 'AV' button will revert things to normal operation.
In rare cases, the sequence first described above - (Vol - on set and recall on remote) will
have to be repeated at least once more.
If none of the above methods works, try using a universal remote - best one that has a LOT
of in-built models..!
Search through the available models looking for any that suddenly causes the set to change
channels.
Lock this setting into the remote and press '2'.

Factory mode should appear.
BE WARNED that NONE of the remote's buttons will function normally!
Use the front panel buttons to scroll through available menus and make any changes. Power
off set to revert to normal functioning.
Hope this is of help!

Lamp Error Reset for Sharp LCD TV.
With power LED off (TV in fake standby or AC power plug removed) hold Vol- and
SOURCE/INPUT.
Join Date: Apr 2011

Power on the TV. Do not release the buttons.
City & State: Leeds
My Country: UK This may take up to 20 seconds.

Posts: 32,373 Look for a letter "K" on the side of the screen when it powers up. If this appears, continue. If
not, repeat the above procedure.
Press CH- and VOL- to access service menu. See if LAMP ERROR appears in listing. If so, then
a reset procedure is necessary
Page through the menus looking for "L ERR RESET". Execute the option (highlight and press
OK.)
Power off the TV (TV in fake standby or AC power plug removed)
Hold Vol- and SOURCE/INPUT.
Power on the TV. Do not release the buttons.
No "K" should appear.
Power off the TV.
The TV should now be fixed.

It is my understanding that it is impossible to enter the service menu from the stock remote
on any LG TV!
But you really need to provide the model number.

I've successfully "emulated" the LG service remote codes using some stuff you can download
Join Date: Jan 2012 online, it's not ideal but it will get you in there. Google it and you may find it, they basically
Posts: 193 upload .wav files which when played through an IR LED (from headphone jack of whatever is
playing it) issue that command to the TV. As I said it's not ideal, lots of variables (LED,
volume level and so on) some just hook an LED to the headphone jack, others build a simple
circuit to drive the LED (more reliable), what I did was use an old working remote control
with batteries fitted and attached the wav signal to the base of the transistor that drives the
LED (s). It did the job, it's ugly, awkward, but I don't need it much.

I will ask on this thread as well if anyone knows any other Vestel codes other than Menu
Join Date: Jan 2012 4725, 7935 and 1325?
Posts: 193
I have a feeling the options I need to change may not have a solution that can be done via
remote control (recent chassis) most options in regular 4725 menu are read only. If there's
no menu option I'm going to have to investigate attaching something to the GPIO to see if I
can trace and find the info I want; this is a big learning curve but may be worth it.
