Main board replaced, due to smashed original, now
plug it in, unit comes on, & you have to unplug to turn
it off. Works fine, but "F" in top right of screen..."factory"
mode. Talked to Tech in Ontario, tried all his suggestions,
like holding vol up, channel down...etc, etc...! He's not
sure, nor are his co-workers up there. Replace the EEPROM
with the one from the damaged original board? Rono.

A model number would help. You probably need to use the factory
service remote to exit factory mode. I don't think you can do it with
the regular remote and service menu. Swapping the EEPROM from the old
board would probably do it and you also won't need to make as many
adjustments to the new chassis.

Thanks andy, I don't have the model, it's at work.
I'll check it Monday, & post it. Rono.
