My brother in his infinite wisdom bought a 32" Sanyo flat screen with built in freeview and PVR. It was a lovely set... until he found a way into the service manual and started fiddling which resulting in the telly going into safety mode while he was playing with the overscan settings.

 

That was 2 years ago, he took it to a sanyo approved dealer who kept it for 6 months before he finally confronted them and got it back having found they'd done bugger all and charged him £80 for the privilege (he's not a great one for standing up for himself over stuff like that, if i'd have been involved i would have contacted watchdog!)

 

Since then he's done nothing with it and it's sat in the corner, all it needs is the firmware resetting which is a quick job for someone in the know.

 

Is there anyone on here who could reset it so he can actually use it again?

 

He's been again to another "recommended" repairer who's messed him around and i can sense he's getting a bit peed off with it now.
