TV displays a good picture but does not fill the screen horizontally, and is
stretched past screen edges vertically. The left and right edges are a bit
wavy, but the picture itself is fine (although people are a bit tall and
skinny). I presume that the relevant adjustments could be made via the
service menu - can anyone help with the codes? On the other hand, I could
just take it to a service agent (they charge $44 for a quote and subtract
this fee from the repair cost - which sounds reasonable if the tv is easily
repaired - alternative is the hard waste collection in 2 weeks).
Trouble is, this is the kids TV and the remote is ?????
As the TV plays DVDs 99% of the time that has not been a worry, but I'll bet
the remote is needed to get into service mode.
Apart from the adjustments that can be done using the service mode, is it
possilble to make adjustments as per a normal old tv by pulling the back
off? I know about the warnings of screwing around inside a TV - this
question can be answered "theoretically".
Any advice would be welcomed. TIA
