Could you by chance send me more of that service manual.
See, I was going to give up on this, but I decided to play with it and see if a remote would do anything. So I programmed a universal remote with some LG codes. Once I saw the LED on the TV blinking when I pressed a button on the remote, I knew the remote was programmed right.
So I pressed on and found out how to get into what looks like a service menu, and what looks like a simpler service menu that allows for picture adjustments.
I found that less then helpful video showing that yes the TV can be brought out of hotel mode. The guy making the video didn't feel the need to explain
how he did it of course, but I now know it's possible and possible without messing around with a terminal program or hunting down a serial cable.
Also I discovered just now that if I press and hold the MENU button on the remote, well the menu doesn't come up, but the channel display does, then I can put in a single command with the remote before it locks back up again. So I can now change inputs in a roundabout way.
So I can't give up on this now, not when I'm one menu setting away from having a usable TV.
