Trying to find out what each button does after entering service menu, does anybody have information on this? Had TV repaired, but the convergence is out on the DVD player menu, but when the movie plays its fine, do you have to set up every screen mode or scart socket?

OK
No idea what was wrong, ALL IS FINE AND WORKS AGAIN!
The problem was one of the pico fuses.

Now a lot of aligning to do, but have provisionally aligned this evening and apart from a few wonky lines (as I did not use a template or DVD)

Perfect picture!

THANK YOU SOOOO MUCH!

Hello again
Fuses have been changed, and I was able to adjust all the colours
Whilst in the service menu and adjusting and adjusting the set just went off.
Turned it back on as I thought I hit a button, then I could no longer adjust the blue.
Went off again after about 15 minutes, then I was able to adjust the blue...
Very strange goings on.
Have I connected something wrong?
Or is this set now trying to drive me mad?

Thanks Trish

Hello
yes. Tomorrow we will check the fuses under the IC's and hopefully find replacements for them, as if they are under the heat sink then these we have not yet been able to check.
So plan for tomorrow is:
Check the fuses under the heatsink, replace and hopefully....

As soon as we have done so, I will put in another update.

Thank you for the help so far. I am now hoping it is one of the pico fuses.

All resistors around the IC'S?

We checked them all using a multimeter.

Now, did you take a multimeter and check them or are you going by the way they look?
