Simple technical problems locking your TV with LED
First, check that your remote has charged and ready-to-use batteries.
If so, also check the connections behind your television: are the cables all connected properly and are in good condition? Continue by checking that your boxes and decoders are running and functional.
If red or orange lights are on, this is a bad sign! Finally, you may have chosen to switch to the universal remote control. Unfortunately it may encounter difficulties with your TV with LED.
If this is the case, go to the website of the manufacturer of your remote control, and go in its product sheet.
Then, enter the code indicated by the Support team you have previously contacted.
TV with LED locked in “hotel” or “hospital” mode
Hotels and hospitals sometimes change their television equipment and leave your future TV with LED to the streets.
What a great deal! Until you realize, by turning on the television, that it is protected and thus locked by a “hotel” or “hospital” mode.

Do not panic! It is possible to unlock your TV with LED locked in “hotel” or “hospital” mode! To do this, press the “Menu” buttons on the TV and the remote control simultaneously, starting with the menu button on the TV.
This for about 7 seconds.
The factory menu will appear.
Press the “Menu” button on the remote control again, then “OK” to select the line: “[Manufacturer name] hotel/hospital mode setup”.
You are in the hotel or hospital mode menu. Select “No” on the first line with the “OK” button on the remote control. Press the “Menu” button on the remote control and turn off your TV with LED. Finally, turn on the TV.
There you go! You just have to set it up as you wish.
A password not deleted on TV with LED
You wanted to make a good deal by buying a second-hand TV with LED, but a nasty surprise awaits you when turning it on or configuring it: the former owner has locked the access with a password and has forgotten to tell you.
And give it to you! The easiest first step to unlock your TV with LED password is to call back, or send a message to the former owner.
However, he or she may have forgotten it! In that case, do not get upset.
The default codes are 0000, 1234, 1111, 7777 or 9999.
Your television does not lock like a phone, you can try as many as you want.
If none of these works, you will have to take the user manual, or go to the website of the manufacturer of your TV with LED.
Then, go in its product sheet to download the manual.
