Explanation: You haven't given us much to work with, but it's possible that you're talking about error messages. A switch, for example, can get stuck in the "on" position, meaning that the motor (for example) can't be turned off.
Doh, as Homer would say. I was referring back to point 1 of the Asker's first comment in this discussion section, where he wrote:
"now I have 2 options
1 - stuck on / stuck of (means not stuck any more?)"
1 - stuck on / stuck of (means not stuck any more?)
2 - stuck in on or off position
well, both sound ok but it's not the same....thanks both!

stuck on/off
jammed on/off
Explanation: 'jammed' would be applicable if this is mechanical; otherwise, if it is purely electronic, one might I suppose say 'fixed'; in either event, the idea is that it is unwanted/unintentional — so I would not say 'locked', inasmuch as that might tend to imply a wanted action.
'stuck' = in a certain position, and unable to move.
