Ferguson Child Lock Activated |
Message |
| I bought a Ferguson 59P7A from a couple retiring to Spain a while ago. The remote was 'iffy' so I replaced it with a universal unit (and threw the original away!) Then I discovered it had a child lock and one of the buttons set it - now I can't get rid of it.
The code has been changed from the default 0000 and the colour cobination sequence of red, blue, green & yellow for 2 secs only works with an original remote - which is no longer available. Have I got to throw the TV away? |

| Jim if you go to your local tv repair shop ( not currys etc) you may be able to purchase a new original remote or even a good second hand one
must small tv repar shops have got loads of old s/hand remotes. Give it a try you got nothing to lose................. |

| I tried a 'guaranteed replacement remote' - and it doesn't work! If you have the same problem don't waste your money on anything but a genuine remote. |

You dont need the original remote to unlock the TV, I have a "magic" remote and managed to unlock it by:
PRESS; Red then Green then Blue then PRESS AND HOLD Yellow for 10sec.
Hope this helps.
Cheers
