Title: Help needed please, Alba CTV3409 locked
Post by: alicorn on August 27, 2009,11:04:02

Hi, Does anyone know how I can unlock an Alba CTV3409? It is stuck in child/hotel lock and I can't get into tuning mode. The code I have been given is 000 but it doesn't work. Many thanks.

Hi Alicorn,

    Think the set used two different chassis - Vestel 11AK08 or 11AK20. Which is yours - Chris.

if the customer is sure of the code, it probably has a corrupt eeprom

This may help, but I dont know if the eeprom dumps work as I have aquired them but not tested them.
The txt file shows the option bytes for hotel mode.
