Widening around the border of picture

I have noticed the last couple of days when people walk towards the edges of the t.v. their faces and body parts get very wide and distorted. Is there something going wrong with my t.v?

    I don't have a manual but just putting it back to factory settings fixed it. Thanks for the help :)

I suggest you read your manual.You likely have the picture setting on Panorama or Wide setting, and your manual should explain that Wide Screen pictures are stretched at the sidea to fill the screen.

Why does the screen have Black Border around the picture , picture distorted?

There are connectors and circuitry that control the vertical and horizontal picture image generation that need to be at the edges of the screen. The border simply covers these connectors and circuitry so the user cannot see it. Newer models of flat panel TV's solve this problem better to get more picture real-estate to the user. Flat panel TV's are not like the original CRT (cathode-ray) TV's of the past that had borders to conceal a non-linear distortion that occurred at the edges.

White fog "ring" around outer third of screen. Dark spots and a single white pinhole in picture as well.

If the model above is correct you are describing a bad optical light engine, about the most expensive part inside that set.

My Sony DSC-S700 froze with the lens open yesterday while I was taking pictures. I took the batteries out and put them back in but it would not turn on. I went home and charged the batteries and it still...

The lens can become bound by grit and dirt, it can be off its tracks, or it can be sitting crooked due to dropping it or rough handling. First make sure you have a fully charged known good batteryc:%5cusers%5charry%5cappdata%5clocal%5ctemp%5cmsohtml1%5c01%5cclip_image001.gif in the unit and it is turned off. Plug your Audio/Video cable into the camera. Lay the camera down on its back on a firm smooth surface. Press on the shutter button with one hand and while holding it down turn the camera on. If the lens becomes free, immediately point the lens down toward the floor and use the zoom to zoom it out. Take a soft brush, such as an art brush, and brush around the base of the lens to make sure you have removed any sand, dirt, etc. from the crevice around the lens where it enters the camera body.

If that doesn't free the lens there are a couple of other things you can attempt, but these may damage the camera too. If the camera is going to be tossed in the trash if it doesn't work try these two steps.
1. Take the battery out of the camera. Grasp the camera by the edges of the top and bottom with the lens facing downward. Cup your other hand slightly and smack the face of the camera into the palmc:%5cusers%5charry%5cappdata%5clocal%5ctemp%5cmsohtml1%5c01%5cclip_image001.gif of your cupped hand several times. Reinstall the battery and try the camera.
2. If step 1 didn't work, look closely at the lens seating in the camera. See if the gap around the lens is even all the way around. If it is not, take a thin tool of some sort that will fit into the gap at the narrowest point and softly pry the lens slowly toward the widest part of the gap. If the lens is off the pins, sometimes that will snap it back on. If you hear a small light snap. reinstall the battery and try the lens. If it works, point it face down and run the lens in and out several times using the zoom.
If this doesn't work, and again, ONLY if the camera is going to be trashed if you can not fix it, try prying the the lens out forcefully, but gently. This has worked as a last resort many times. Good luck.

Widen border on Toshiba lap top

Widen border on what? A document, if so go into page setup. If you're talking about the whole screen, go into the Desktop under the Control Panel and change the screen resolution.

I have a 5200 desktop gateway i need to pull the

As you face the computer the Left side comes off.

Computer off, and unplugged from power.

Press the Power On button in, and hold it in for a count of five seconds, then let go.
This is to drain residual power from the computer.

Come around to the backside of the computer.
On the right side of the computer, (Facing the back of the computer), there are two large Thumbscrews.

One towards the top along the right edge, one towards the bottom, of the right edge.

Turn each one to the Left to loosen, and loosen them all the way.
They may not come all the way out, of the edge of the cover.

On the side of the side panel cover, is an indention.
This is a place to put your fingers, and pull back on the cover towards the rear of the computer.
(Or pull towards you)

The side panel cover only slides back about an inch, then it is tilted out, and lifted up.
Set the cover aside.

BEFORE you reach inside your computer, Touch the metal frame of the open computer case.
This will relieve your body of Static electricity.

Your body carries Static electricity, and Static will fry out the delicate computer hardware components, inside a computer.

Computer unplugged from power, you are safe.
Touch the metal frame, your computer is safe.

(Additionally; If you get up in the middle of working on your computer, walk away then return: Touch the metal frame of the open computer case again)

Double Vision (Mainly around the edges of the screen)

Look for your Convergence amps and check the solder connections on them....you may only have to resolder the amps...and if they fail in a couple weeks, then replace them...

If you don't beat up the convergence amps for WEEKS operating them with the bad connections, they can survive...

White border when printing

It is impossible to do borderless printer from a toner based printer because the printer needs a spot on the page to grab it into the fusing section.

If you need to do borderless an ink jet based printer can provide that for you.

Picture does not bleed to edge

this symptom is caused by a poor regulation in the power supply circuit. too low dc supply voltage will result to insufficient deflection, both vertically and horizontally. black borders appear around the raster. receivers generally use regulator in the main power supply to set the dc supply voltage at the value that will allow the picture to fill the screen with a little overscan. defective regulator can result in a small raster. most modern receivers today are using ic (integrated cirduit) regulator. but if you are not inclined with this kind of job, better bring it to a qualified tv technician. good luck!
