Unhappy Samsung CS29Z30MA Wont turn on after Service Menu Goofup

Hi

My Samsung 29" CS29Z30MA wont turn on.
I made a change in the service menu...I turned on the PIP feature(officially it does not has a PIP feature)..and now when I try to switch it ON..it come comes ON for about 2secs and turns itself OFF. Nothing is displayed on the screen...its just black.

I tried going into service menu again (Info-Mute-Menu-Power) but it does the same thing....turns itself OFF.

I am worried I might have damaged it beyond repair.
PLEASE HELP !!!

Ok Guys...finally got it repaired. The service guy had to replace a small thumbnail size chip. I guess he could not find what the problem was, so just went ahead a removed the whole chip.

Finally its back to life...but will have to calibrate it. Now the picture is too bright even in Movie mode.

He "could not find what the problem was" because you screwed it up with your twiddling and the only way to get it working again is to replace the EEPROM IC with a pre-programmed one from the manufacturer.

Do you suggest re-calibrating it again ?

No, as you knackered it up the last time you tried it.
You should have got the technician who replaced the IC to set it up.
