This is exactly why we warn customers about not to attempt using the
Service Only Menues on their products.
I understand, you did purchase the product, do own it, therefore you
have the abosolute right to destroy it in any matter you prefer.
However, when you request information as to how to un-do your FUBARD
and do not choose the obvious recommondation, then we are at a loss to
assist any further. Order the E-Prom, hopefully it comes with the
proper programming code already loaded, hopefully you do not flack it
with ESD while attempting to change it. Enjoy!!

I''ve been a computer specialist for 12 years, have already done some
electronics stuff (following how-tos), and I've setup many things
including CRT projectors and the like. I'm fairly accustomed to go into
service menus, and also accustomed to tweak things that should already
properly work out of the factory.

In this case, I'd ask how good is a "self-destroy" option in a service menu.

That's what I thought. There must be a simple way to recover from this
scenario otherwise the design is flawed.

As a technician, I find it annoying that service information is often
only made available to select service agencies, and not to the wider
third party service community.
