    and never be able to enter service mode ever again?
    it's a no for many reasons anyway.
    We know a thing or two because we've seen a thing or two.
    The medication helps though...

      Never ever? I don't think so and you know why.

        I've very confused and also entertained by this subject matter. Looking forward to its logical conclusion.

                I'm aware it's a ridiculous question haha. Customer asked me today if it was possible, her exact words were "I only want copy & scan on the main screen"

                I didn't know the answer because nobody has never asked me before and I've never personally thought about it myself.

                As for the never getting in to service mode again, yes there are other ways. More than 1 way to skin a cat.

                Thanks

                  well, the regular way
                  besides, its probably against some law here on this side of the great pond.

                  the only reason i can think to hide or change a meter would be for fraudulent/deceptive reasons.
                  i dont think i can be convinced otherwise.

                    I think OP question was to hide counter button from display. Not to hide/clear/reset counters.
                    As simple as that. You can always view counters in Page Scope(web connection) or other ways.
                    I have simple theory why this may be needed but let's author answer first.

                      Hi

                      Yes only looking to see if it's possible to hide the counter button as I was asked by end user if this was possible and it makes no difference to us as a supplier anyway as we obtain readings remotely.

                      There is no hidden agenda, and makes no difference to us if there's is or is not a counter button on the display 😉

                          Btw I also think counter button should NOT be hidden from display and also can't be hidden.

                            While i think it should not be hidden, it can be hidden.

                            You're literally recieving the firmware with barely any encryption, it should not take a rookie long to crack the encryption and then bytepatch the button.... The one question that goes through my head even after the OP told us why he wants to do it: WHY

                              if the request really came from the end user then the idiocracy runs deep in that office for sure.
                              probably has black tape over their cars odometer too.
