Perhaps I am missing something here, or does this not just speak to a complete lack of common sense and stupidity?
I'm not sure how this interlock thing works, but it would seem that anyone with half a wit about them should START with unplugging ANYTHING consumer related, or at least anything not operating AFTER an isolated external transformer at low voltage, from the WALL socket. I get that this interlock thing I guess was designed to be a secondary "gateway" required before the set could be opened or whatever, but I'd have to assume anyone browsing this forum has enough common sense not to need such a nanny device and unplug the thing that could potentially kill you before doing anything else.
I suppose you could be liable if you sell the TV on to someone else or someone inherits it after you bypassed it. Is that where the concern lies?
