FPA lock is on
SOURCE: FPA LOCK
I had the same problem on my rca tv. FPA was locked out. i lost the remote and could not turn the tv on.
i have the answer for you. yay me.
THE FPA CAN BE MANUALLY RESET BY DOING THE FOLLOWING.
YOU MUST QUICK CYCLE THE POWER.
DO THIS BY RAPIDLY PLUGING AND UNPLUGING THE POWER CORD FROM THE WALL OUTLET.
DO NOT UN PLUG IT COMPLETELY OUT OF THE WALL SOCKET. JUST FAR ENOUGH TO SEVER THE FLOW OF ELECTRICITY. YOU MUST GO IN AND OUT VERY FAST. AND WALLAH, PROBLEM FIXED. YOU CAN THANK ME IF YOU WISH. HAVE A GREAT DAY.

try checking your manual,that came with your tv.
If not try e-bay for a new remote.

Unfortunately a remote is required to disable the Front Panel Lockout. This is to prevent children from circumventing some Parental controls.
It is possible however to access the Lockout with a universal remote,
which can be purchased from places like CVS, Walgreens, Kmart, etc. usually for under $20.00.
If you already have a universal remote laying around it may be just what your looking for.
Please let me know if you need any further help.

Hold down the
MENU button on the remote and VOLUME DOWN button on the TV it's self at the
same time for at least 4 seconds. The set won't say so, but the lock will be
unlocked
2.
Hold down the 0
(zero) button on the remote and the VOLUME DOWN button on the TV itself at the
same time for at least 4 seconds. The set won't say so, but the lock will be
unlocked
3.
Hold down the
MENU button on the front of the TV and the TV button on the remote at the same
time for at least 4 seconds. 4- Hold down GO BACK button on the remote and MENU
button on the front of the TV at the same time for at least 4 seconds.
Hold down EJECT button
on the front of the TV set and the MENU button on the remote at the same time
for at least 4 seconds. Depending on the model, one of the methods should
unlock the V-chip. Now, if desired, you can change the settings on the V-chip
by going to the MENU and going to PARENTAL CONTROLS, or on some sets, going to
MENU and then going to TV SETUP, then to V-CHIP SET.
