It has a very dark screen, I can barely see my

T-con board is causing all your problems. You are correct. You can get parts from here: TV Parts Universal TV Stands DLP Chips ShopJimmy

Have you tried going into the MENU and clicking on the PICTURE sub-menu? If not,try this and you should be able to adjust the darkness level in addition to color , tint, etc. Good Luck

I don't know the copper-brand 1301 switch
Internet photos of the 1301 show that it has two screw terminals, and a green ground screw
Switch with 2 screws is a single-pole switch. (plug green ground screw)

Sounds like you are replacing 3-way switch with 3 screws. (plus green ground screw)
3-way switches control hallway lights, with switch at each end of hallway.

I think you need to buy a 3-way switch.

How to wire 3-way switch:
Bare ground always goes to green screw
The key is the dark-colored screw.
Old switch has dark-colored screw >> mark this wire.
Attach this wire to dark-colored screw on new switch.
Other two wires go to either screw.

You can try adjusting the color output. There are two ways to do this:
1) In the service menu (I don't know the codes or parameters...) I will not cover this for lack of info.

2) Via the focus block (Very touchy and difficult to get the mix right again if you get too far off)

If you take off the front cover there should be a access panel. Behind that, there should be a small square black box with 6 screws on it. This is the focus block. (At least this is where most of them are located)

It sounds more like you may need more red in the mix or just less blue and green. There is a screw for each color. Do not mess with the focus screws, just the ones labeled 'SCREEN.'

Barely turn the red up.
Use an insulated screwdriver and DO NOT TOUCH the focus block and ESPECIALLY NOT the back of it.
Very HIGH VOLTAGE. I found that out the hard way.

Do not turn andy of these up too high or damage may occur and the TV may detect a short and shut off.

I have found that if the three colors are adjusted in a dark room to where the 3 color spots (R/G/B) are just barely visible on the screen at equal levels, there is a pretty good color balance.

I hope this helps! Just be careful.

Go to an unused input where the screen should be dark. Barely turn the red down in a dark room so that the red spot is at the same level as the Blue and Green.

are the dots appearing in diagonal lines or randoml across the screen? This would suggest to me either a loose connection in your cable or the screen is faulty and will need replacing. Sorry for the bad news

inside the viewfinder there is a button, called amazingly enough ZEBRA, next to the OIS button,(optical image stabilizer button). You push this button to turn zebra on or off. In the menu, you adjust the zebra to show at 80% or 100% of optimal exposure on the brightest spots of your shots. You need to dial your iris up or down to make the zebra go away, then turn it back up until it barely registers on the brightest spot of your image, then you are using zebra to it's effective use. When shooting in zebra 80%, try to make the people's faces barely register a tiny bit of zebra striping to have their faces exposed at the best light. The white shirts will be blazing, but then again, they should not be wearing white shirts anyway if your pre production crew did their job when advising talent what to wear. (No stripes, solid colors are best. Dark colors are even better, especially for dark skinned people.)

Take the front speaker grille off; it is stiff but will pull off. Take off the access panel underneath; four or five screws. Inside you will find a screen/focus block control assembly. Get a flashlight. Turn up the screen controls SLIGHTLY. for RED, GREEN AND BLUE. The best way to do this is to turn off the color first and make sure you end up with a good black and white pix ( not tinged green, red or blue) then turn the color back up in the menu.

Hmm.. Your cellphone Leds could be broken.. :/
Try pressing the following keystrokes (and joystick for left/rigth):

Right, *, Left, Left, *, Left, *.

A new menu should be displayed on your screen.
Not sure of the english descriptions of these menus, I'll just tell you to enter the third menu item. (or press 3)
This is the test-menu for your cellphone. I certainly had much fun messing thru this menu, but for now try enter '1' for running a maindisplay-test. Your screen should cycle thru a colorful test, mainly displaying red, green and blue colors :)
second try the 2nd menu item, which test the lights/LEDs.
If this doesnt make your cellphone flash, on and off, with a 'Ok'-message, the LEDs may be out :/

Please reply if you tried this! :)
