I have a JVC rear projection tv that I bought second hand a little over
a year ago. It works fine except for the HDMI input. When I plug it
into my cable box and switch to the digital input, it can't detect
anything (and says it's gonna turn off in 9 minutes if nothing is
connected before then
). However, if I plug in my computer via a dvi/hdmi cable, the tv
:still
doesn't detect a connection, but the computer recognizes the tv for the
model number that it is. There is no setting in the tv that can affect
the input, from what I can find (and I went over all the menus multiple
times).

Any ideas on what might be causing this? If it's an electrical problem,
is it worth my time to get an electronic technician to fix it?

Dunno if it's any help, but my Sagem DLP detects any of the many inputs
coming alive and switches out of standby - except the digital one which in
this case is a DVI type.

I've checked all of my inputs while the HDMI is plugged in, but it
doesn't show up anywhere. I was reading on some forums that the HDMI
can be disabled by various things and that it can be re-enabled by doing
a "system" check in the service menu (and it gives the steps to do
that). However, I cannot find the steps to get INTO the service menu!
