Matt, I've seen this before. Usually you can call up the customer menu and go down to "reset" and push vol up. You can also use "reset" on the original remote. Also you can go the missing tab, highlight that item, push vol up and hold for several seconds. This will sometimes bring the tab back. If all of that fails and you have CC, re-initilize the eeprom and make sure that you have the proper eeprom. If you don't have the CC, just change the eeprom.(that's when an 8 pin socket is nice.) Be sure and resolder the cpu shield(all tabs).(Even if they look good) Good luck, Paul W C&W Electronics Azle Texas From: "matt sherer" <m.sheer@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Reply-To: techassist@xxxxxxxxxxxxx To: "techassist" <techassist@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Subject: [TechAssist] GE TV, M#:31GT659, C#:CTC187CN, color and control problem. Date: Tue, 30 Jul 2002 20:25:53 -0500 GE TV Model: 31GT659 Chassis: CTC187CN Problem: Unit originally had a problem of going to blue screen and menu popping up intermittently. Ended up being a problem with the EEprom. I did a tuner wrap and replaced the EEPROM. Unit played fine for about an hour and then the color went awry. I went into the menu's to see if I could adjust the color, tint etc.. The adjustments are there but the tab that you move + or - is missing on all adjustments but one. Anyone ever seen this before or have any ideas? TIA!!
