Have a six month old tv that has gotten too "green." Anyone know where

I could ponder the addition of a bias pot to the green channel? Thanks.


Make? Model? Chassis #?

RCA 14F512T

It's a little $100 set so the parts warranty is irrelevant. If a $3
pot will save it from the dumpster that would still be a good thing.
Thanks.


As Andy Cuffe wrote in a previous message, you could try going into the
service menu of the set to try to see if the green color can be adjusted
there. At this website they describe how to get into the service menu of an
RCA TV (may or may not work for your model):

Just be aware that you might screw up the TV more than it already is by
changing any of the settings there, so before changing anything write down
what the value is, so you can change it back if it doesn't work.
