--Shit, my bad, meant to post in repair. Stupid fat fingers on a tiny touchscreen
First off, Panasonic TH-42PZ700U service manual:
https://drive.google.com/file/d/1WT0pcLUll_75PJjsLaqB6FppEnmZklDa/view?usp=drivesdkSo I got this poor old TV off craigslist for free, didn't power up. Looked online and the common issue was the 150C thermal fuse in one of the transformers tripping. Ouch.
Once I fixed that, I got it working, and noticed some visual artifacts with my laptop plugged in. I'm no stranger to seeing these, but I figured I'd try setting all the voltages outlined in the service manual after I found a link online where someone fixed artifacts and sparkly pixels by cranking VSCAN /VSCN. Page 33 ish in the attached service manual
I set voltages to what the service manual asked for, and my wii's start menu no longer had a yellow splotch at the bottom.
I did everything except the Initialization Pulse Adjust section. I couldn't find my scope probes.
But I've really just "shifted" what colour/brightness levels the artifacts show up. Here's a video outlining the worst of them:
