Toshiba RPTV Service Menu - Warrenty

[HBK757]

Anyone know if going into the Service menu voids your warrenty ? I need to know if its safe to tell the Toshiba engineer when he comes to try and fix the tv. I made the mistake of playing around with the green gun in the service menu/convergence and now everything is bent and generally messed up. PAL convergence is virtually beyond repair So hopefully he will either repair it or write the tv off.

Thanks.

It sure does if you tell him!!

Just say it has always been like it. They will really need to bring a "Screen Grid" to get it back, otherwise he will have to do it by eye so it won't be so accurate.

There are many ways to make straight lines for the grid so post back if you get no joy after the engineer has been.

What model Tosh is it?? I have grid settings for the 46"

Best Regards

Its the 43" 43VJ13P model. Yah U hear what your saying about the grid and stuff. But trust me, the PAL grid is so screwed up there is a huge gap in the middle of the screen where the grid should be! I've no idea how this happened, I turned it on one morning and there it was *shrug* I shall post back after the engineer has been, but trust me, if he isn't able to line the grid up properly I'll be getting a replacement, I'm not settling for anything less than pefect for £1050

Thanks for the advice. I appreciate it.

after 7pm - 07771 802299

Very good company so far. The price they offer that TV for is £1050 inclusive of next day delivery

As far as the actual TV goes I can't recommend it highly enough. DVD's look amazing on the TV, especially in a pitch black room. It also performs well in a well lit room. It's worth the £1050 imo Digital/cable also performs surprisingly well on the TV considering how much the picture has to be blown up to. Make sure you have a SCART or S-VIDEO input for connecting up Digital.

Grrr, no call from the Toshiba people today as was promised Looks like some chasing up is gonna be done in the morning.

Well for anyone interested, the engineer just left after looking at the TV for all of 2 minutes. As soon as he saw the state of PAL convergence he kinda wanted to run away and cry

He reckons the convergence board is broken and will need replacing. Phoned TV+Video Direct and told them I would like a new TV instead of a repaired one, has to clear with the manager apparently but they seemed very helpful. So hopefully everything should go ok

You gonna try and break the same TV again, or you gonna go for a different model.

Well, I was thinking about getting the 50" model but the problem is I already have a Dolby Digital/DTS sound system, plus the fact that the TV is for my bedroom, so 50" would be getting a little silly for a bedroom TV. I'm generally very happy with the 43"

1 thing tho - its amazing how small the TV starts seeming after a couple weeks

Is true, the Panasonic will be my 3rd RPTV in the last 18 months. Wanted to get the new panny projector, but not allowed to. The place we rent at the moment would require too much moving about, so will have to wait til we move.

Woohoo, they are delivering a new TV on Wednesday morning and taking this one at the same time. TV+video Direct have been very good, I'd recommened them to anyone
