Check pages 28-31 of the users manual. They are simple instructions and do not require an engineer. If you do not have the manual, post back and I'll tell you how to get one.

According to what little I know about Key Lock, it all has to do with the remote control.
I realize you said your remote isn't working, but maybe you are trying to use a non-OEM remote like a universal one or something? Try the original remote and if you already are make sure it is for your model and has new batteries is the only thing I can think of, from what I find in my owner's manuel. I found your question by trying to learn the same thing, and setting aside my universal, grabbing my model's factory LG remote control, and putting in some new batteries worked for me.. Hope it helps. Perry in Florida

Some of your comments are uncalled for & I take offense to...

From that statement it can be taken to mean he has NO ability to fix the TV & needed the instruction manual to get step by step written instructions how to fix/use his TV...

Then you chime in with your post from the user manual...
(BTW, THANKS for that part)
THREE EXCELLENT techs here ALL said the same thing...
In summary;Get the manual & READ IT !!!!
IF he needed help with that , we'd have done so...
When he has the FULL manual for HIS TV , he can & should read the pertinent part & try to fix his TV...
Screwing around blindly like he did can & apparently did cause more confusion or a bigger problem..

That is WHY they suggested he get the user manual...

Now my opinion;....

In wont let me access the menu through the remote or the TV

IF he is using the ORIGINAL remote CORRECTLY , he most likely has a problem with the TV...
He says;"no menu" using the remote...
IF he is using a generic remote , that could be his problem...

Anyways , ya all have fun with this....

Later...Ron.M.... Cool

perryinjax;....

Your apology is kindly accepted....NO problem....

I want to commend you on your effort to help...
Your input & help on future posts WILL be welcomed...

THANK you !!!!

Side comment;...
This original poster showed he apparently is impatient with our advice & went ahead , tinkered with the buttons on the TV & remote & possibly made his situation worse....
You'll notice that all his posts are on Dec,16th & nothing since...
Hopefully he downloaded his users manual & fixed his TV...
Unless he has the courtesy to reply , we'll never know the outcone...

Have a GREAT New Year... Sly
