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 ****s 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
**** in the trash and buying a brand new telly.

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.
