part for me is knowing exactly what to put n. (i thoguth i read change V to
76 and then P7 is horizotal and vetical adjustments?) that was a for
anoyther rca model tv though, i am not sure if the services are the same for

First keep out the service menu,s....
Call a Technician and have it serviced.

Because you don't know what ya doing.

Agreed! if you totally fubard the set and then ask a tech to repair it there
are a couple of things that will ensue. First the tech will tell you the
prospective repair cost, then snidely laugh at you asking why you attempted
playing with the service man only menu.

Dude, if repairing large screen projection televisions were that easy,
just put a magic number into some secret, hidden service menu, then all
of us would be out of a job. Word would quickly spread over the Internet
and we would all end up being Wallmart greeters.

The thing is broken. It needs parts and experienced personell to service
it.

"adjust the front R.G.B" What does that mean? That you played with the G2
screen drive control? Like maybe you have a bad picture tube, bad CRT
socket or associated drive components? "little bowed" Defection circuit
problem like pincusion perhaps? Need parts.

You wanna fix TV sets? Fine. Take an electronics course, study hard, gain
experience in the field, and then guess what, you can fix your own TV
set! Otherwise give it up. Do what you do best like your job, make some
money, pay a professional to get the job done, and be done with it. Life
goes on.

I learned that lesson by trying to find a CD key for the online game
Quake. I spend almost 40 hours online, looking for cracks, serial
numbers, CD key generators, etc. and then realized that had I just gone
to work for the 40 hours, I could not only have bought the darned game
but would havd had many, many hundreds of dollars left over to buy other
nice things. It just ain't worth it.

Not trying to be mean or anything but you yourself admit that you know
nothing at all about electronics and repairs so what is the point? You
risk hurting yourself and badly damaging the television that you are
trying to "fix". Most of us here share trade tips like "I got a Mitsubisi
CS-2020X television with thin, white, horizontal lines at the top of the
picture and vertical foldover. Anyone seen this before?" "Sure, you got a
bad pump up capacitor over in the vertical output circuit. Check and
replace the surrounding electrolytic capacitors around the vertical IC."
Does all of the make sense to you? Could you take that advice and then
repair the Mitsubishi television? If not then let it go. Enjoy life and
get someone to fix your television for you. Cheers.
