Just moved house and brought my lovely toshiba 37" CRT, it's a pita to move but it made it.

Set up all my kit, fired it up and everything is all wonky on the screen. It's not just things i'm inputting into it, even the OSD is a wonk. I suspect it's taken a knock in the van :(

Is it ruined? Can i recalibrate / straighten it. Is there a hidden menu on there that toshiba have hidden from me?

I know i should get a new screen, but one wasn't budgeted for this month!!

:(

found the service menu.. but am not sure what it all does.

theres nothing near it that i've put there, but i suppose its possible that there is something on the otherside of the wall..

ok, couple of pictures. this shows the 'wonk'

and here is the gap at the top right of the screen. there is a slight amount of discolouration around this corner.

the rest of the screen is fine, no colour shift, no distortion from magnets etc and it doesn't flicker.

made a mistake earlier, it's a 36" 16:9, a 36ZP18P.
 
thanks for the help :)

I have looked in the service menu, nothing is obviously tilt. any of these look right to you, i dont want to go messing with settings i'm not sure of.

i've found this page; http://www.stevelarkins.freeuk.com/toshservmenu.htm which explains some of them.. but again, no tilt is obvious :(

have now found a 'desinger menu as well' (press and hold CALL on remote whilst pressing Menu on set whilst in Service Manual)

It has the following options;

i also posted this on the av forums, and they've said that the scan coils may have moved. I'm not sure what they are.. so dunno if thats a possibility.
