Flashing white cross on srceen when I switch on the set

Hi rodalynnedel,

If there is more light in the background making the picture white then you need to turn off the focus of your camera or choose an auto focus mode , which will stop your camera's focus depending on the light in the background.

So I would suggest you you to switch off the flash and then check if it works fine for you.

When you have to turn of the flash you press the flash button with an arrow mark on camera and then select the icon which has a cross vertical line on the arrow , that is the mode which switches off the focus.

Hope this helps ....:) Let me know in case you have any queries, your feedback would be appreciated.

Try to update your tomtom software. would this white cross mean that you have reached your destination? Can you post me the model of your tomtom that would be very helpful

Do a static convergence on your set. You should be able to go into the main menu and scroll down to picture and press select. Then go to convergence and press select. A white cross will appear use on screen direction to line up all the colour crosses behind thie white cross untill they all appear white. Then press continue and you will see several white crosses do the same for each one of these crosses. this should solve your problem. If not u have some bad convergence chips

Hi
As the black and white pic got a snall cross dot patten all over it. If this so the input on your tv that connects to the dvd player as been set to s-video you can change this with remote on tv . regards windyhouse

Here is a walk through on how to set your convergence.

A quick and easy way to try and let the TV realign the convergence try this...

1) Turn on the TV and tune to a channel and let it warm up for about a half an hour to let everything settle into its normal operating mode.

2) Press the Flash Focus button on the original TV remote. A cross pattern will show on the screen and the process is complete when the cross turns white and the TV returns to the program you were watching.

3) Do not press any other buttons until this process has completed.

If this does not adjust it enough you can adjust the convergence manually as follows:

1) Press the menu button on the original TV remote.

2) Use the arrow keys on the remote to highlight setup and press + button to select.

3) Use arrow keys to select convergence and press + button to select.

4) A pattern of white crosses appears, with a yellow [ ] around one of the
crosses. Aligned crosses (which do not need adjustment) look white and
have little or no red or blue showing. Crosses that are not aligned show
red or blue shades beyond their edges.

5) Use the arrow keys to move the [ ] to a cross that is not aligned. ***Note: start with crosses in the middle and work outward ****
*** TIP: Set the alignment while about 5 feet from TV for better results ****

6) Press the + button to select the cross and the [ ] will turn red indicating it is ready to adjust the Red convergence.

7) Use the arrow keys to move the red cross on top of the white one or at least as close as you can get it.

8) Once the Red is aligned press the + key again and the [ ] will turn blue. This indicates it is now ready to adjust the blue convergence.

9) Use the arrow keys to move the blue cross on top of the white one or at least as close as you can get it.

10) Once you have aligned the blue cross press the + button again and the [ ] should turn yellow.

11) Repeat steps 5 through 10 until all the crosses are aligned. To exit back to regular programming press the menu button on the remote.

try re-setting the unit by the re-set botton on the back or side of the unit depending on the model

have you tried resetting it? you can reset it by holding the menu and the center button together if that doesnt work it means that the screen is broken

If it's one of the LCD projection TV sets, that's your Light engine has failed, and no longer generates enough BLUE to balance out the Red and Green (makes Yellow) LCD panels.

That is about $600 or MORE for parts....it can get up to $1000.00 for the part alone.

It usually means that you need new LCD screen or if the screen works and you just don't have a backlight go to Settings>Backlight>On (or 30 seconds or 40 seconds etc.) hope this helps. =)
