Pioneer SD-P5075 (RPTV) Trouble
The model number turns up very little when searching. The manual also isn't available on Pioneer's website (since the thing's around 8 years old). From the little that I've managed to glean, the popular suggestion is that we scrap it. Seems like a waste though.
Anyway, it's a big screen, rear-projection Pioneer SD-P5075. A few months ago, our house got struck by lightning. This had the effect of blowing through several surge protectors as well as components that were hooked to the components (multiple PCs, a tv, a satellite receiver, and a DVD player). Well, the big screen survived, but the inputs started acting up somewhat. Within the past day or two however, the red seems to have screwed up. The blue and green work fine, but no amount of "converge" or screwing with the red lens can get it to line up (it's shifted slightly to the right). I noticed that upon removing the red lens, the small red screen shows the problem also (the red line shown during "converge" is shifted).
My questions are:
1) Does anyone know what the problem is?
2) If so, what would it cost to fix and how much electronics experience would be necessary?
3) If it can't be fixed, would anyone have recommendations? It seems like it'd be a waste to just throw it away...I mean, it plays black and white films fine.
Thanks in advance.
