[TechAssist] Re: FIXED RCA motel set, J20101GG, can't program channels

There is a small hole beside the sleep timer button on the TV.  Found
inside the hole is a push switch that enables and disables the setup,
video, and audio buttons on the remote.  The sleep timer button on the
TV now becomes the setup button.  After you are done setting up the TV,
pressing the switch inside the hole puts the TV back into "motel mode".

Post the fix right here. Make it a sentence or paragraph. We don't need
all
11 pages, just the short and sweet version.  What is the D secret. Some
of
us can't get to the database. I file all fixes right here in my email
program to help others or myself if the question comes up again. We want
answers too, that is why most of us read all these emails. Not just for
the
questions. I thought that was the benefit of all of us. Lets post fixes
everyday. If we all just put one unique fix a week on here, we would
have
hundreds a week and we would never have to worry about repairs again.

I am concerned with google getting hold of my email and the solution so
it is all over the internet.  Isn't there some way to make our emails
private?

Kevin: Go ahead and tell us. That is why we are here. That is better
than
getting hundreds of private emails isn't it? I wish we all would post
our
fixes.

Thanks to Eric, I found out how to enable the setup function.  If
anybody wants to know how, please email me privately.
