Yellow again,
After I switched hyperboards, the picture on my set (57hdx82) appeared to be fine. Now for some resaon the picture looks to dark. I have a high definition cable box hooked up to colorstream 1 and a dvd player to colorstream 2 with component cables. Its the same in standard def as well as high def. The picture (in high def ) looks like it is real clear just darkish. I cleaned the lenses before my hyper repair. I tried turning the settings up in the menu for contrast and brightness but it didn't seem to make much of a difference. If I got into the service mode, are there settings in there that I could tweak to get my picture brighter again? Thanks!

Are they the same board? Perhaps the other board has bad caps as well. A dark pix is one of the symptoms we sometimes see. Could be that the boards are a slightly different version. Lots of possibilities here and I have no clear answer

Hi Icaillo,
Both hyperboards had the same sticker on it (MVPU14). The caps on the hyperboard I just put in could be going bad. The question is even though I have no zig-zag lines on my picture yet, would caps going bad on the hyper cause the picture to be dark? Thanks!

It could. Is this on all sources?

Hello, Will verify other sources and get back to you. Did notice my ant2 input not working.

I hooked up the dvd player with a movie and the picture was dark looking on colorstream 2 and video 1 & 2 . Also on colorstream 1 hooked up to cable HD box. So yes picture is dark looking on all sources!

I wonder if a 56pt. convergence would help? Just seems like the picture is washed out and dull.

**lcaillo** · **10-23-09, 07:02 AM**

Convergence will make the image look blurry or less detailed, and can have some affect on contrast, but in general if your image is washed out and dull the problem will be with other settings...contrast, brightness, gamma, etc.

Do you think there is any adjustments I can make or look at in the service mode?

I don't know why you should need to. Something is obviously not right with that board or you did something in the repair process if you had normal brightness before.
