Jensen 12v TV will not permit channel scan
I went to do a channel scan in menu mode... I cannot move to the “lock” or “channel scan” selection... it worked fine a few days ago... I don’t have a paper manual or reliable data where I’m at... ...

AHH.. Jensen, that name just OOOZES "quality".. NOT!
Tuner ROM most likely has taken a deep electron nap and most likely will never come back to life or you accidentally set a "parental" password to prevent changes.
Typically on most TVs there is no "reset" button to push or any way to clear and reset back to factory defaults via a push button. Pretty much all menu driven and if the menu is locked you are pretty much out of luck.
The ONLY thing I can think of is removing the 12V power for a couple of hrs then try again.
Barring that, yank the cheap thing out, throw it on the ground, drive over it a couple of times, shoot it, hang it then scoop up and put it in the nearest trash recepticle where it belonged in the first place.
There are far better TVs out there and Jensen brand is not worth morning over.
Skip the 12V stuff, buy a standard off the shelf 120V TV and a good brand 300W PSW inverter and never look back. You will be rewarded with far better picture, sound and life.
