I pushed the mute button on a newly programmed universal remote and now there are 2's in each corner of the screen and the tv is stuck in some sort of service mode
Unplug for several hours, press and hold power button for 5 seconds, wait half hour more, plug back in and try. Or press and hold either channel buttons at same time or volume buttons at the same time to see if that exits the mode.

Well your Philips universal remote control comes with a list of codes for devices by brand name. Find the first code for the brand name and type of device you wish to program. Turn all of your devices off, and then manually turn on the device you want to program. Press the Setup button on your the universal remote and continue to hold it down until the indicator light stops flashing and remains solid. Release the Setup button. Press the Mode button for the type of device you want to program on your Philips universal remote, such as the TV.Release it immediately and make sure the indicator light is illuminated. Enter the first possible four-digit code on the universal remote, and then press another button on the remote to see if the device is now programmed, such as the volume control or power button. If the device responds, you have successfully programmed your Philips universal remote. If not, turn the device off and back on and follow the steps again using the next code on the list. Repeat until the device successfully responds.
If your TV code is not listed on the manual then you can use the Remote Using Code Search Option - Your Philips universal remote has a built-in code search feature that will find the correct code for your device. This process may take longer than using direct code entry, but can be helpful if you do not have access to the code list or if the brand for your device is not listed.
Make sure all of your devices are turned off, and then manually turn on the first device. Press the Code Search button and hold it down until the red indicator light stays illuminated. Press the Mode button for the type of device you want to program on your Philips universal remote, such as the TV button. Release it immediately and make sure the indicator light is illuminated. Press either the Channel button until the device responds. You may have to press the button up to 300 times. Each time you press the button, the Philips universal remote tries a new code. When the code works, press the Mute button on the Philips universal remote and the code will be stored.
I thing you wrongly do the second option that creates the problem. No issue, if your tv code not listed on the manuals then you can go with the second (code search) solution. Please post comments for further help or information.........

slowly and repeatedly until the TV responds. 4. Store the code by pressing the "Mute" button.

The "universal code" 9910 is just the first step in doing a program search. Hold down the MOXI and OK buttons simultaneously until you get the double blink. Then enter 9910 and it will blink twice again. Then begin alternately pushing MUTE and the up arrow (above the OK button). Pushing the up button effectively cycles through the codes and pushing MUTE tests the current code that it is on. Do not go too fast because when you finally push MUTE and it actually mutes (or unmutes) your TV, you must push the OK button to store that code. I just performed this procedure and my first positive code that I stored only affected the mute and volume settings on my TV and would not turn the power on or off. If this happens to you as well, repeat the above process and just skip over the first positive you get until it mutes (or unmutes) your TV again.
Replace the convergence IC and
check power resistor for leakage, if values are not exact replace
them. Once the parts are in place perform the alignment.
Thank you & post back again if you need additional info.
For the majority of phillips/magnavox universal remotes: Hold code search button down till red light satys on. Press the tv button and the red light should blink and stay lit. With the tv on, push the power button repeatedly until the tv turns off.(dont push the power button again after the tv turns off or it will go to the next code). Push the mute button to save the setting.
