. "my Viewsonic TV won't turn off . The message is "power lock enabled". Pror to that the menu and all controls would not function. I held dow the volume + and - buttons and tha "unlocked the controls. After that the power button problem surfaced." .
SOURCE: power lock enable
To get rid of the power button enable you need to either press and hold the power button on the tv ( not on the remote control pad) for approx 15 seconds or if that does not work do the same using the source button
SOURCE: TV wont turn on with remote or the power button
ONE: The protection circuit has taken over the power managment of the
set. When you unplug it for a couple of hours or so and plug it back
in it will start up because the circuits have all been reset
(unplugging the power cord is a reset operation.)
TWO: The protection circuit goes into action whenever it detects an
excessive amount of current being drawn from one of the 10 sections of
the tv circuitry.
THREE: When it won't turn on it is because the protection circuit has
captured the ON function and holds the power relay OFF until it is
reset.
FOUR: So, the problem area could be any one of the 10 or so sections
of the tv. The most common of which is the high voltage section
because it uses the greatest amount of power. If so, this could be
very expensive.
FIVE: On the other hand, it could be one of the other sections and a
small part such as a resistor or capacitor shorting down. In which
case the cost of repair may be only a few dollars.
SIX: However, you will need a tv tech to come to the home and diagnose
the set because we cannot tell where the failure is without a hands-on
diagnosis by one who knows how to test the circuit sections.
SEVEN: Usually a shop will send out a tech who will do a quick check
and tell you what is wrong with the set and how much the repair cost is
going to be. A house call such as this will cost from $40 to $80
depending on the distance and the price they set. I suggest you call a
few shops and get their best response before deciding which one to
employ.
Let me know if you will need further assistance
SOURCE: all buttons on tv stopped working only turns ON no ...
There is a button lock in the menu of the television. Using your remote access the menu screen and unlock the buttons.
SOURCE: viewsonic power lock
On the tv itself hold down channel up button while holding that press and hold the menu button . this will un lock it
SOURCE: Powerlock Enable cannot be removed from my ViewSonic N3246w.
I have a 19" ViewSonic and if you hold down the 2nd and 3rd buttons together under the screen, counting from the LEFT, it will disable the Powerlock.
