How do you unlock a rca truflat tv????? - RCA TruFlat 27F520T 27" TV

Most RCA and GE TV sets use a four digit code to control the v-chip. The code reset procedure is different depending on the model. Try each method until you find one that works:

1. Hold down MENU on the remote and VOLUME DOWN 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 on the remote and the VOLUME DOWN buttons on the TV its self 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 on the remote and MENU on the front of the TV at the same time for at least 4 seconds.

5. Hold down EJECT on the front of the TV 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.

Bad tact switches on control pc board. Can only access by taking back off and they are on front of tv.

Hello
To unlock the FPA lock of an RCA tv; thry out the folloing methods. One amoung them will surley unlock your RCA TV. But you must have its original remote control to do this. If you haven't the same, try to get it from any of your friends or relatives, who own the same model TV; just to unlock your RCA TV. After unlock, you can use any universal remote control.

go remote hunting!!!
hit every thrift store ,maybe put a add in the paper or a free site like Craig list for RCA remote .that's the easiest way i can see i have a all in one and a truflat and every thing i tried failed and i goggled it

I have rca tv with no remote and the fpa is locked...how do I unlock it?

If you have a RCA Truflat TV/DVD combo try code 8888 to unlock parental control settings.

just had the same problem... found the old RCA remote in my house... put new batteries in it...used RCA remote.... hit menu... arrow down to preferences and hit "ok" on remote.....use arrow again to go down to FPA lock and hit ok to turn it off, hope this helps, hit menu again to remove menu from your screen

have you tried to leave it unplugged for 24 hours?, this may work!

ok this totally stressed me out but I figured it out and my TV is ON!! I purchased a really cheap universal remote at a .99 cent store. Sat in front of the TV and followed the directions on the manual for my new remote, keep in mind there was a red light lit on the TV, when all directions on connecting the remote with the TV were complete I pressed on and the TV turned on. I hope this helps!!!!!

Buy a universal remote and program it for the TV. That's the only thing that will work.
