HELP! Emerson 32" HDTV stuck on Service Mode

Post by kingof69ng »

I was cleaning my remote buttons and i accidentaly hit the service Button and I guess i hit something else because now it's stuck showing the gadients and pixel demos. so when i change the channel it doesnt change the channel but goes into another gradient to test the Picture. i have no business with this i was just cleaning my remote and got curious because i have never seen that button before and well. I'm stuck now. help please.
Image Well, at least I still am at heart.

Did you try to turn it on late tonight (12:00 am)? They sign off that time. So you see color bars or gradients.
EDIT: To proof it, take a picture when the TV's in service mode.

Could you please provide the model number of the tv? Also have you tried pressing any other buttons on the remote or on the tv it self? Does the tv turn on and off with the remote or the buttons on the tv or do none of the functions seem to work?

I'll post the picture and the model number soon as i get home. I did try to press everything on the remote, even went out and bought an emerson universal remote. I've been having a hard time just finding a customer service phone number.
