Default RCA D52W20 fails to start

Art,

though my knowledge in television electronics is not as far reaching as it
is in the PC realm, I'm far from an "average" consumer. I know my hardware,
and I knew the risk I was taking as soon as I went into that menu. In my
defense, curiosity did get the best of me when I entered the geometry menu,
but I did not save any settings, I barely even moved a slider in any
direction. So I'd love to know how the same result wouldn't have happened to
a professional.

I'd appreciate some useful input from you, or none at all. Your opinion had
nothing to do with the current situation.

Too bad the average consumer does not read that disclaimer before playing
with the "Serviceman Menu"!!IMHO. Seen too many that have almost been
relegated to the junk status by Tweaking by the un-informed.

Alex best call a shop who has the chipper checker and tell them what you
have done.

I've had the RCA D52W20 for over 2 years now. It's served me well,
amongst all the bad ratings it's gotten. Today I found out about the
service menu, so I decided to play with that. 190+points of convergence
was a blessing. I then decided to see what was in geomatry, so I shifted
my screen to the left a little to compensate for my PS2. All I remember
after that was I either went up or down and moved the slider on another
option and the TV turned off.

Now all it does is the power blinks green and it makes the sound like
it's trying to startup.
Please any help would be greatly appreciated.
