Sharp TV help needed.
Hi group,
I have a Sharp 37 AT-25H portable tv, my son has changed all the channels, and then set the lock with a pin number, (bless him ;o). He can't remember the number he used, I've tried a few numbers, 0000 - 9999 etc., hoping that he just kept pressing a single number, but no. I can't really afford to have it serviced just to unlock it, I have tinkered with electronics in the past, so de-soldering something (for example) would not be a problem. I have had a quick look inside hoping to find a battery backup or solder pads to clear the memory, but no joy. I would greatly appreciate any help offered in sorting the problem. -- Regards Ian If Bill Gates had a penny for every time a Windows box crashed................. oh, wait. He does. |

Hi again, I have just tried a fix for another sharp tv and it worked. If anyone's interested - found on www.e-repair.co.uk Procedure to release child lock To release child lock press and hold volume down button on tv, then press child lock button ten times followed by the blue mode key then release the volume key.
