It is against the creadit card company's terms to give a cash refund
on a card sale - it has to go back to the card it was debited against.

Not a credit card its a debit card, I don't live on credit like many.

No need, the existing ones do an excellent job, some fantastic websites too.

If I may interject - I have a 2004 model 24" flat tube Toshiba with
hidden service menus that even Bush could understand and manipulate.
So not all service menus consist of hieroglyphics. : )

I've got that bugger so squared up and true just using the THX patterns
on the Star Wars trilogy, I have HD pals with 54" widescreens that
spend more time in front of my set than those.

Try this site for menu info on some sets:

Hi

I just bought a Ferguson FTV10N television (might be FTV21ON)
and the picture is a little to big in that the scrolling text at the bottom
of Sky news and BBC news 24 is a little cut off at the bottom.
(basiclly the picture is too big vertiaclly).
Fine I though, I will just find the vertical adjust 'thing' inside the TV
and twiddle that. Trouble is there does not appear to be such a 'thing'
to twiddle. (Not really a great deal inside compared to a real old
television so I assume I have not failed to locate it).

So how do I adjust the picture size (vertically)?

Maybe you can make the adjustements you need in the service mode...
can you identify what chassis has this thing ? ICC20 ? ICC21 ? ICC17 ?
They're all-digital chassises, without potentiometers or trimmers...
Also who make Ferguson televisions? Do they have a
website? I assume its a brand name but I cannot seem to
locate the manufacturer or a website for Ferguson support.

Ferguson TV Sets are made by Thomson
I guess the lesson is never buy a Ferguson televisioni.

I had a look around for a chassis number but to be honest I was not
too sure where to look, where are they normally found. I tried the
back cover mainboard and even the tube but I could not find any
thing which resembled a chassis number.
Anyway I have returned it to the shop for a refund.
All the other ones on display had the same fault any so I doubt it is
easilly repairable, that fact does not discourage Curry, to their discredit,
continuing selling them.

well here in canada i would say if the vert size is off some of the
capacitors around the vertical driver circuit are failing. I usually
replace all the caps in the general area of the vertical output.
example : if the vert output is ic308 and the caps near it are c
301...302...304... etc i replace every cap i find in the 300 number
designation. Now that being said is this a uk set? as in PAL? cause i
have never worked on a pal set although similar problems im sure exist
in these circuits as well.
