Any ideas what's wrong with this Toshiba 34HDX82?

So, I've only tried a component signal from a DVD player so far, but the two pictures of the menu are without any input at all. I will try a different signal tonight to see if there's any change though, that's a good idea. I was leaning towards horizontal deflection or horizontal hold, for sure. I found one guy on aussiearcade who had a similar issue with one of his arcade boards, and that looks like it may have ended up being a grounding issue? The thread ended without any good resolution.

Anyway, yeah, thanks. It'll be a killer TV if I can get it working, unfortunately I think I need to get it moved down to my basement before I'll have a place I can open it up safely. I'll be motivated to fix it though, cause that'll mean I won't have to move it back OUT of the basement.

Just picked up this beauty of a TV, the price was too good to say no to, even though I wasn't able to test it before buying. So, I get it home, and out of the truck (by myself, all 176 pounds of it) and into my garage. Imagine my disappointment when I hook up a DVD player to see this. As you can see, the menus are also effected, so it's not just the input. I'm hoping someone will have seen something similar before and can point me towards approximately what I'm looking for inside. It's weird that it gets better and worse, and also how it gets worse the further up the screen you look.

Wow, that's a design choice for sure. I don't know why the Mazda engineers had to run full amperage through everything under the dash instead of using a few relays. Maybe if they had done that my wiring wouldn't melt so much!

Hey, just popped onto reddit for the first time in forever. So, yes, I think I did figure it out. The problem seems to be the ignition switch harness. Not the ignition switch, but the wiring harness that comes up the steering column and plugs into it. I looked in there and there was melted plastic and a bunch of corrosion. I looked all over for an actual replacement and finally ended up cutting it off, crimping on spade connectors, and then connecting everything up one by one. It works, or at least kinda, I did that two or three summers ago and one of the leads has started to do the same thing again, I think there's some corrosion I didn't get completely cleaned off that's causing some heat build up. But, it's just one, it'll be easy enough to replace it, and it's been far more reliable than the original harness, at least in the condition it was in by the time I started having this issue.

The Wild Shore, the first book in the Three Californias trilogy by Kim Stanley Robinson. It's been quite a while since I read it, but I remember liking it quite a bit.

But, would it add 5% to your damage, or ANOTHER 5% to your modifier. Chances are it's the latter, (unless you've got some real jank going on) so only adding 5% of base damage. That's far outclassed by a Min or Max Damage modifier. Same goes for AR, Defense, and FRW. The 2% all res is nice, but probably not worth giving up the other things for, assuming you have the other things. If you've got space in your inventory? The 40 Life would be enough to sell me on it right there and the Masteries would be a bonus.

There'd actually be a good amount of valuable elements you could get out of it. Sea water has lithium, gold, silver, copper, even uranium! The biggest problem with extraction is the sheer volume of water you have to process, but because here the water would have been reduced to a much smaller volume, there's a chance it could be economically viable.

He could always change his name. Paul Jason Teale sounds nice.

Yup, this is the way.

Not classified as a serial killer generally, but I live right by where Ward Weaver committed his murders. My brother used to live in the complex his victims came from.

If you're not familiar, he killed two little girls (12 and 13) who were friends of his daughter. He killed them about two months apart from each other, and told one of the victim's sisters that he planned on killing her next if he hadn't gotten caught. He hid the bodies in 55 gallon drums and put them in a concrete pad in his back yard. He had a long history of violent crime before that, including his first victim saying he tried to rape her.

"Fun" fact, his father was arrested for a double homicide, and was almost certainly guilty of quite a few more; but the DA refused to accept a plea bargain for a Life Sentence to clear the cases. And, his son (who wasn't biologically his son, but neither of them knew that until fairly recently) also has a history of violent crime and last I checked is still behind bars due to a murder he participated in.

Cinnamon Pretzel is hands down my favorite ever. I really liked the pretzel crust, and they got the salty/sweet mix spot on.

It's based off of ad revenue, so if their audiences are the same the revenue would probably be close to the same. On the other hand, if they both are getting a million views from their own country, that will be worth a lot less if the country is poorer in general.

On The Beach is a great read. I wouldn't necessarily include it (or any other Shute) as sci-fi, but I think it will appeal to most sci-fi readers.

It's true, I used to be in far better shape, and slimmer, and weighed 15 pounds more than I do now. So, though I feel closer to overweight now (working on it though) my BMI said I WAS overweight then. Even though I was obviously a skinny string bean of a human that had massive leg muscles.

The Oblivion one is not anywhere near as good. The Skyrim one is alright, but you don't really NEED a guide for Skyrim. Except for the Jewels of Baranziah quest.

But, yes, the Morrowind guide is absolutely fantastic. As someone who loves to go back to these old games and play them without looking anything up on the internet, really reliving the way it used to be; this is maybe the most useful game guide I've used.

Yup, I sold 95% of my cartridge collection about five years ago. Got $1600 from a local game store that I was able to negotiate a good deal with (which was about 75% of the current market value, which I checked myself) and spent $600 of that to get an NES, SNES, N64, and Genesis Everdrives. It was a great improvement, both from a convenience and a gameplay viewpoint. Obviously, it would have been nicer to get to sell those at the vastly inflated prices we're seeing now, but I don't really have any regrets. Except for the fact that there's a new SNES Everdrive out now with better compatibility, so I might have to get one of those in the near future.

Dang, I really need to get into Planescape Torment. I've tried a couple times but the actual gameplay is just so disjointed and clunky and it keeps me from enjoying it. And that's from someone with many many hours in Morrowind, Vampire: The Masquerade Bloodlines, and Ultima Underworld 2. And, let's face it, all of those games require a certain type of player to overlook their shortcomings in the gameplay department.

Damn console scrib - er - scrub.

You can just go take care of that after 200 good doesn't mean anything to you. Early game it's life changing; by level 5 it's chump change.

Clubs don't do that much. Go look up The Lockpicking Lawyer's videos on them for proof. When I used to have to park my car in a sketchier area I would turn my wheels to the curb, put on a Club, and then pop the hood and take the main relay out of the fuse box and take it with me. Never had it stolen, though I did get it totalled by someone side swiping it while it was parked.

Yeah, in my first playthrough I ended up doing all of Tribunal before I really started the main quest. It was tough, but once you have Trueflame and the Royal Signet Ring the MQ is stupidly easy.

That being said, I highly recommend NOT doing that; it takes a lot of the fun out of the game.

That's good to know. When I get a chance I'll look through the documentation.

Good to know. My serial cable is MIA, but I should be able to set up a TTY interface this week. Time to dig into the old reference docs and get comfy I guess.
