| 421298 | 2006-01-15 18:35:00 | I have a Panasonic Pv-m2047. Its about 5 years old and recently while playing some video games I had my foot on the tv. I must have been pressing some of the buttons on the tv because it shut off. When I turned it back on the screen brightness was extremely dark and its sort of hard to explain but the tv was in sort of a widescreen view. ( Ill try to draw a picture) So I got my remote for it and put the brightness all the way up yet it was still very dark. Also I have no clue to how to get rid of the widescreeness. I was looking at some site and Im not sure if it was relating to me but it was something about debug mode. I couldn't understand it so I gave up. If I could please get some help I would very much appreciate it. Thanks img358.imageshack.us |

This isn't my field, but with luck, someone more knowlegeable about TVs may turn up. I have more than one TV set. None are younger than 5 years old & I would hope they're all still fixable. |

| 421301 | 2006-01-16 15:20:00 | Yeah. We are going to probally get another but we don't have the money at the moment. | cheezy_monkey (9626) | ||
| 421302 | 2006-01-22 08:43:00 | Yeah. We are going to probally get another but we don't have the money at the moment. It is unlikely that putting your foot on the controls would cause damage, and it stretches coincidence a bit far to imagine that a fault would occur simultaneously with that action. It is more likely that you have put it into an alternative operating mode, and at only five years old, that is quite possible. Find the user manual and read that, and if it offers no enlightenment, phone a Panasonic service agent and ask them if there are any service modes you may have triggered. If one of our current TV service experts like tweak'e is reading this he might know the answer. Cheers Billy 8-{) |
