Hello Dave D,
I see your point regarding your 13 year old daughter knows what focus
means and that's good but you need to learn how to read first before you
flame anyone. If you read my original post you can find "I removed the tv
rear cover and found only 2 knobs for Focus and Screen and they won't
solve the problem."

OK, I accept I have misunderstood you, but please understand that "and they
won't solve the problem." can also mean you tried them to no avail. Damn
the English language, ambiguity is too common!

I am sorry you didn't consider my advice to be helpful, and indeed
considered it to be flaming. However, we are not mind readers. How was I to
know you were techinically minded? You certainly didn't give that impression
from your OP which was vague and admitted lack of knowledge of the working
of TVs, and clearly I'm not the only one who thought that.

Generally, if people come here with intelligent questions and can provide
troubleshooting info, they will get intelligent answers. If they come here
and give the impression that they know nothing (as you did- you said you
wanted to learn) and ask questions like 'my TV went funny, which part do I
change?' (extreme example) then they will often be disappointed.

If you read back over my posts you'll find that in actual fact I did give an
answer, despite what you think. Furthermore, though it wasn't what you
wanted to hear, my advice to stay away from TVs until you get up to speed on
LV equipment was sound and I had your interests at heart. I could have said
'dive in with both hands while it's on, and make sure you're a bit damp',
but no- I was simply concerned for your safety. The advice was given based
on the impression of your abilities *you* created here, and I stand by it.

Anyhoo, no offence intended- it was just banter. Good luck with the repair.

Dave
