Apex Digital AT2708S 27" TV Logo
Posted on Mar 07, 2008

Can't see the scroll at the bottom of the screen

This Apex AT2708S was given to me after my son could no longer play video games on it due to the fact that the bottom "scroll" area is "below" the plastic frame of the TV. I do not know if a component in the TV has changed so that the picture has become "taller" from top to bottom or if some technical setting has been inadvertently changed. I understand there is a "technicians service menu" that can be accessed if I know the right codes to get into it. I would like to try adjusting the "vertical hold" on the set to see if I can bring the scroll area within the viewable area of the screen.

    can't see the scroll on the bottom of my APEX AT2708S. I got to the service menu but don't know which item to adjust. I used the instructions below:

    __________

    if you turn the vol. down to 00 then press mute on the remote then hold mute on the remote and menu on the tv for 3 seconds you will get the service menu and you can adjust the screen.

    I have a similar problem. We inherited this TV from a family member. It appears that the 'resolution' is incorrect. By this I mean that the edges (top, bottom, and sides) run off the side of the TV while watching TV and playing the WII. When we have our digital satellite menu up, the edges appear to be squished. I'm able to get into the service menu, but I have no idea what any of the menu options are for and what I might need to change. Any help would be much appreciated!

On my Apex TV screen, some of the picture is cut out. How can i adjust the TV resolution?

You cannot adjust the resolution in CRT TVs. Its not like a monitor that is compatible with a number of resolutions from a computer for example. CRT TVs resolution's dont work like that.They take an input usually from a composite, Svideo or coaxial source and display it on the screen.

When you say the picture is cut out is there a black bar on top/bottom/middle of the screen? In older CRT TVs that usually means a problem with the TV itself and would need to be taken in for repairs or replaced.

The bottom screen of the nintendo ds is broken and the colors are "runny" looking...so I can't use the pen or play the game. how to fix, or where can I take it to have it fixed? thanks

Hi.
You can buy new touch screens on Ebay and other web sites (tend to be cheaper on Ebay). You can also download instructions for installing the new screen. I have done it for my son's DS and it is surprisingly easy. You will need a special screwdriver to open up the Ds, but you can buy these - in fact often they come with the screen.

Good luck!
