My panasonic microwave says child and has stopped working
PLEASE start new threads rather than replying to ten year old ones!
In answer to your question, first hit on googling "Panasonic microwave
child lock" brings up this.
"You are now ready to use your new Panasonic Microwave Oven. When you first
turn on your microwave oven and under normal operation the €śCHILD LOCK€ť
feature is off. If €śLOCK€ť or €śCHILD€ť appears on your display . . . Press
the €śStop€ť button three (3) times and the €śCHILD LOCK€ť will be turned off."
When you've tried that, please read this by Joh Rumm.
If you have been using the HomeOwnersHub web site, you may have wondered
why a number of posters seem rather confused by some of the messages you
have been posting. Hopefully this post will make clear why this is
happening.
HomeOwnersHub (HOH) is one of a number of web sites that provide a gateway
to one or more USENET newsgroups. In this particular case it connects to
the USENET group "uk.d-i-y"
For details about this group, please read:

For some background and links about usenet groups and how they are normally
used, please see:

Like good comedy, Timing is everything
=======================================
Usenet groups are generally "ephemeral". Once a post has been sent to a
news server, it will be shared around the world with other news servers.
Depending on how busy the group is, and the storage space allocated by the
server to the group, each server may only store messages for a few weeks or
months before expiring them.
So when replying to a post, please take careful note of the date on which
it was posted. There is little point in making a response to a post
concerning a problem with someone's central heating, if the problem
occurred in 2006 - One, they have probably fixed it by now, and two, most
readers of your message won't be able to see what you are replying to - so
it will make little sense!
(Although many news servers won't retain posts to a group for an extended
period, once a post has been made and distributed to other servers, you
have to assume that its never going to go away completely - there will
always be a copy somewhere! You can't delete a message once posted. There
are also archives of past usenet postings, google for example have
groups.google.com that makes many years worth of posts to this group
searchable).
Quoting
=======
News reader software usually makes it easy to include in your message parts
of the post you are replying to. This is called "quoting". Careful use of
quoting - e.g. leaving in just enough of the original message in place,
will help readers follow the thread of the conversation. Note that some
users (especially sight impaired ones) will depend quite heavily on this
quoted content to make sense of postings. If you don't include sensibly
trimmed quoted content you will irritate many users who won't know what you
are replying to. (and including too much, will irritate others!)
