Press and hold the start and the on/off buttons together. It should come out of demo mode.

you can plumb into hot but there are some snags
first hot water pressure is often a lot lower than cold so the machine may take a long time to fill
second if the water is too hot it will destroy the resin of the water softener and you will see brown marks on the crockery.
third it a bit uneconomical as you will use a lot of hot water

Just one question is the water to the unit turned on ? some times a unit will have a fail safe protection device where it would not start the system if there was no water pressure to prevent damage to the unit, but given the symptoms i really don't think thats it.

It sounds like there may be an internal fuse in the dishwasher circuitry that has blown and needs to be replaced.

Unfortunately without the circuuit diagrams its impossible to say if that is so. the manufacturers today don't supply circuit diagrams with the appliance and they tend to send a repair agent out who changes the whole board rather than just fixing the one problem.

If your adventurous you can try starting to apply power to various parts of the unit to see if they work - i.e. i am sure the pump works if you can get the appropriate power supply to it - but your risking some serious electric shock and issues with blowing things up.
