Lost OSD/Menu gfx-Toshiba rear projector

[AndrewGroves]

Hi I have a strange problem with a rear projection Toshiba 40WH08.
The menu graphics have gone and I can find no way of getting them back.
This happened after going into service mode, and F 7 convergence, I tilted my head to look up and there was no menu info etc.
Turned it off, back on, still not there.
I have a feeling this could be a very rare problem as I can find no mention of it anywhere online?
It is just the graphics which have gone as pressing menu and following the motions for say - convergence, brings up the RGB cross*
*Primary problem, convergence: no horizontal movement blue.
I wonder if I have changed a setting by accident?
Or could I "feel" my way back into the menu and turn OSD back on?

Now the sound has gone too,
this is not a wind-up it really has gone.
It did this after replacing the front panel after adjusting the screen + focus of the blue tube.

The sound came back,
I'll just go and watch it with a pair of 3D glasses from my Jaws III Video box

"He don't sleep in, he don't live in! You tell Shelby Overman for me he can take a flying leap in a rolling doughnut magnet on the tube neck to sort the convergence out!"

Does anyone know where I'd get an instuction manual for the 40Wh?
I tried toshiba's site but the manual section was offline for some reason?
If I could get this, I'd rest my case!!!!

Wondering if the OSD has been moved to an area off the screen. If I remember correctly there is a option of where the OSD is displayed. Dont think toshiba let us download their service manuals unfortunately, have been after one for 42 Wh36 & 57 Wh36

Hi Scooby Do
Nah mate, not got a problem with the service manuals there is a site out there which lets you download the service manuals for nearly every modern electrical product for free.
I have the service manual as a PDF for the 40wh,
I reckon you would get one for the 42 & 57 no problem, though you might not need them now.
I can give you more "clues" as to the address of the site.
There are sites out there which will sell you same manuals
Let's face it who's going to hand over their credit card details to Russian or Chinese website for a $6/£3 PDF file.
You might as well tell your bank to let the Yakuza, Russian Mafia and the Triads raid the account
It was actually the user manual I needed, it said on the Toshiba site that they could be downloaded, but it was down.
I hear what you're saying about the OSD being "off the screen", that sounds like a possibility.
The Toshiba site will be back sometime, I'm sure

go on then give us a "clue". I have read your other post and reckon you have a board gone down somewhere. Seeing that you cannot move the blue convergence.

Okay for the service manuals and/or schematics type these three little words into Google "file share eshop" and hit "I'm Feeling Lucky"

Under
"Search service manuals database"
In the "Enter" box, type the model number

I checked your 42 and 57 could only get a 42WH18, no sure if this would be similar?

You could try the repair tips section as after having a quick look I can see there's over a thousand tips. I even saw one for reseting a Toshiba TV to first install settings.

Re: 40Wh blue convergenge
I've not spent any serious time around the porblematic areas, but yes it would be a 99% chance that the problem does lie with the convergence board.

Yeah found that site before and unfortunately as you say no manual for my chassis. My search continues.....
