Can't get out of hotel room mode with LG 37LC5DC-UA

[Pioneerx01]

I have picked up and fixed LG 37LC5DC-UA. While it works fine, I don't have access to re-scan channels or change picture settings. I do have the remote.

I have tried various online recommendations, but none worked. Press and hold menu then 1105, press and hold menu or OK on both TV and remote. press the reset button on the back of the TV, while the TV is on, while off, and white turning on. None helped.

Any other thoughts on what else I can do?

The following was taken from the web which does looks similar to what you say you have tried.

To enter Installation menu from the remote control, you need:
Choose any TV channel (it might not work if other input is selected)
Press and hold MENU button on the remote control until TV's menu appears, disappears and channel info appears.
Quickly release MENU button, enter 1105 and press OK.

If your remote control has no MENU button, use HOME button instead.

I have tried that already, and many other combinations of buttons and numbers.

However, I have figured it out. I have taken the TV apart again. The tuner is separated from the main board. There is a coax cable and set of other cables connected between the main board and the tuner board. I have disconnected the set of cables from the tuner board, and the TV stopped behaving as Hotel TV. See attached picture

you can use smart remote on android if you have mobile with IR sender. so you can use INSTOP function, it will erase all setting.

Does a 1980's brick phone have one built in or can I solder it on ?
