The guide, says to press VOL+ and Menu at the same time,

a) it's from the TV buttons NOT the remote!!!
b) you need to keep pressing these 2 until it stop saying "Power unlocking" but Unlocked.

Does it say power lock or OSD locked.
In case the OSD is locked do the following

hold [1] and the up arrow (usually the first and last button) till you get the message OSD UNLOCKED

Press and hold the #1 and the up arrow for 10 seconds on the remote to unlock the OCD and power button.

    This sounds like you are set to the incorrect input. If you are seeing a blue screen are you sure you have it set to the correct input? Try changing the input and see what happens. Go through all the inputs one at a time. Make sure the satellite receiver is on.

I think power lock means TV does not turn On.
Seems power supply board is defective that needs to be replaced.
Click Shop Jimmy to have power board image and price info.
Thanks.

I have a Viewsonic TV N2201W LCD TV Model # VS12247-1M Serial # R2**********, when I turn it off a box comes up Power Lock and my TV won't shut off. Does anyone has such problem. Please help

Some Viewsonic monitors have a Power Lock feature. However, these tend to be on the monitors (like the Viewsonic VA2265Smh) with only 5 control buttons. To toggle off the power lock, press and hold the button labeled 1 (Menu/Save/Exit) and the down arrow button for 10 seconds. The N2201W TV has more buttons than that. There is no Power Lock identified in my Viewsonic TV manuals. However, you might try the press and hold Menu/Down arrow combination.

I hope this helps.

The main meun locked

Is this a viewsonic? I am told, to unlock the menu, try holding the up and down channel buttons in together. If all buttons are locked, try holding the up and down volume buttons in together. The buttons are under the screen. I am not sure if you can do this while the unit is powered up or do this while powering up. Try first while unit is powered and running. Each of the two processes should set the lock if not locked and should also unlock if locked.
