Closed captions I have a 50" Dell Plasma screen. I don't have any issues with it except the closed caption stopped working. They were working fine, we activate them and deactivate them at will but now they don't work. You selected from the Menu but nothing happens. I tried all the possible combinations in the Closed Captions menu but nothing. Any ideas ?

When a television tells you that no captioning is available it is telling you that the broadcaster is not supplying closed captions. You are doing everything right, but the show you are watching is not captioned.
From your description of the problem it sounds like you may have the "closed caption" turned on in text mode.
Look on your remote control for a button labeled CC or CAPTION and press it repeatedly until it says OFF.
Otherwise you may find it in your tv`s menu under "closed caption" .
You just need to turn it off.
Try turning off the closed caption and text also check v chip, if you have a channel or channels blocked it could cause a black rectangle to pull up on the screen, if that doesn't work try resetting the unit to factory settings
due to the new digital change alot of sets like your are being effected with similar problems such as guide and time issues. not sure if it will fix itself after the deadline
If captions are created by the TV the TV menu allows of/on of captions, however if you are hooked to a converter (sat or cable) these also sometimes create captions. Check the video set up in both places. Might solve your problem.
turn off the closed captioning. it is set to a text mode which only certain stations use with their closed captioning. use the tv remote menu key and find closed captions and turn it off
The closed captioning decoder circuit in your TV set may not be working, or the closed captioning information from the station may not be present. Start investigating by finding out if there is actualy closed caption from the station that you are tuned in to. If so, then call the tech support for your set to know if there is something that you missed in the set-up for the closed captioning. It may be very simple. If all of this does not work, then the closed captioning decoder in the set may not be working properly and require service.
