Dude, if repairing large screen projection televisions were that easy, just put a magic number into some secret, hidden service menu, then all of us would be out of a job. Word would quickly spread over the Internet and we would all end up being Wallmart greeters.

The thing is broken. It needs parts and experienced personell to service it.

"adjust the front R.G.B" What does that mean? That you played with the G2 screen drive control? Like maybe you have a bad picture tube, bad CRT socket or associated drive components? "little bowed" Defection circuit problem like pincusion perhaps? Need parts.

You wanna fix TV sets? Fine. Take an electronics course, study hard, gain experience in the field, and then guess what, you can fix your own TV set! Otherwise give it up. Do what you do best like your job, make some money, pay a professional to get the job done, and be done with it. Life goes on.

I learned that lesson by trying to find a CD key for the online game Quake. I spend almost 40 hours online, looking for cracks, serial numbers, CD key generators, etc. and then realized that had I just gone to work for the 40 hours, I could not only have bought the darned game but would havd had many, many hundreds of dollars left over to buy other nice things. It just ain't worth it.

Not trying to be mean or anything but you yourself admit that you know nothing at all about electronics and repairs so what is the point? You risk hurting yourself and badly damaging the television that you are trying to "fix". Most of us here share trade tips like "I got a Mitsubisi CS-2020X television with thin, white, horizontal lines at the top of the picture and vertical foldover. Anyone seen this before?" "Sure, you got a bad pump up capacitor over in the vertical output circuit. Check and replace the surrounding electrolytic capacitors around the vertical IC." Does all of the make sense to you? Could you take that advice and then repair the Mitsubishi television? If not then let it go. Enjoy life and get someone to fix your television for you. Cheers.
