Hello guys, I have updates!

First, you guys are awesome, thank you for all the replies and help troubleshooting the issue.
Second, I am not very smart, and didnt realized the remote receptors were blocked by a ton of styrofoam. Once I removed it, the remote sure started working!
Third, just unpluging the TV after making the changes did NOT work for me. Once the remote entered the chat, and I was able to hit "ENTER" via the remote, changes started saving correctly.

TV now starts correctly, no error at the beginning. Will keep the error counter checked...

Hello [USER="71977"]nomoresonys[/USER], thanks again for your time! Unfortunately, no dice. On page 2 I do see the Industry init and the lamp error reset, but even if I change tthem to "ON" and wait a while it looks like the settings are not being saved.

Remote control is not working either so that is not helping with the navigation, but I can power through.

I was also able to get the TV to connect to internet, and check if updates were available but they were not ( I did that after I turned on with the input and vol- key combination).

Hello [USER="71977"]nomoresonys[/USER], thank you for the reply! The problem is that I dont have a save dialog

I can only flip the flags from off to on, but I dont seem to have a save button, and no indication of the changes being saved.

I went through all 26 pages of options and the only one that loops promising as a "Save" option, is EEP save on page 26 (last page). Do you know if that is the option for saving the settings?

Thank you!nomoresonys

Thanks everyone for your replies!
Trying to reset the lamp errors, but having issues with that. I followed the guides I could find online describing the process:

Turn the LCD on and then unplug the power cable.
While pressing and holding the {INPUT} & {VOL -} buttons on the remote, plug the power cable back into the outlet.
When it powers up you will see a little "k" appear in brackets.Then on the TV, press the {VOL -} & {CH -} buttons at the same time.
The Service Menu will be displayed.
{CH +} & {CH -} buttons navigate through...
