Toshiba 34HF83 Problem

[[email protected]]

Hopefully my 2 year old tv isn't dead - I switched video modes to my
book pc and noticed that it was out of alignment, so I turned the tv on
and off to fix that problem, which always works. When it came back on,
I had a black screen and audio. I can see the OSD menu, but can't seem
to get a picture back, no matter which input / mode is used. Have reset
by unplugging for 15 minutes, tried analog cable directly into the set,
tried the front panel inputs with no luck. Went into the service menu
and can see the numbers/letters in the upper right corner.
Anyone have any suggestions other than getting it in for service?

I see it's a recent model Toshiba, meaning it was probably made by
Onion electronics, the same company that shits out Durabrand for
Wal-Mart, E-Gear at Target, laughable brand for television sets like
Sansui and Memorex, Admirals for Monkey Wards, Insignia (Best Buy),
Emerson and some JVCs as well as countless other brand that i can't
even think of at the moment. You're better off throwing that sack of
shit in the trash and buying a brand new telly.

I forgot to mention, don't suck dick in the service menu unless you
know what you are doing, or else you will end up with a busted TV.
Considering how bad television is, that might not be a bad thing. The
less televisions, the better.

Hi,
You better remember Onion is capable of producing anything. It all
depends on the spec. sheet coming with the order. When you demand
quality with proper price, quality is made. Don't paint them all with
one brush. Been to China and had some chance to tour some of places
where those are made? I did.

A busted TV is precisely her problem.

I haven't seen any HD Toshiba CRT sets made by anyone but Toshiba. Sets
below 32 inch are as you say either Orion or Funai depending on the model.

No, Toshiba 34HF83 was made by Toshiba, not by Orion. Very solid set,
but a lemon can always occur.

Jeff, actually all Toshiba CRT sets are now made by Orion, regardless
of what size and price. Toshiba no longer manufactures any CRT
televisions.

....well, hopefully mine isn't that lemon - the cam-convertor is gone
apparently - I'm looking at an ~ $550 CDN repair bill. They did say
that they thought it wasn't made by Toshiba however...

Not true by what the repairman says. How about taking this one to a
different repair center. It may be cheaper.
