Avtex TV screen flipped upside down

[RichardB]

Hi all.
I have a acted L187-DRS series 7 TV.
The picture display has flipped upside down for some reason. I can't find any options to turn it back the right way...
On the later models there is a mirror image option in the settings but on mine there's nothing.
I have also had a look on the hidden 2580 menu from Source and tried a reset from there and its still downside up

Any ideas anyone - other than turning the TV itself the wrong way round as I can't do that!

I'm wondering why it would even have that facility?

For Bats I think..

There's some way of doing it as my friend Shirley Blossom has her TV fixed physically upside down in her Autotrail. It's fitted in front of the windscreen. I believe the Avtex people are very helpful if you phone them.

Sorry if this sounds flippant but why not ask Avtex, they are genuinely extremely helpful.

Because they are closed until Monday and my tv is upside down now!

Do you perhaps have a fire stick you can use until you can contact Avtex on Monday or how about playing some old fashioned games before tv was invented

Fire stick is upside down as well! Games are all well and good but there is something on tomorrow night that we where hoping to watch…

And when it powers up the blue avtex splash screen is upside down as well…

There's got to be an 'invert' option somewhere in the menus.... It didn't invert on its own.

 

[irnbru]

Oh thats a bugger. Have you asked google?

 

[Jev88]

Factory reset all settings at bottom of menu screen.?

 

[TinaLes]

How Bizarre !
Reminds me of an old joke....Right lads Tea Break over....Back on your Heads.
Hope you get it sorted soon, as others have said, why would you need this invert facility anyway?
Yea, Factory Reset would be my choice also.

Here is the thread on Blossom's inverted Avtex TV picture.

Why is my Avtex TV upside down?

My Autotrail Tracker has a drop down Avtex TV overhead in the cab. I have always thought it was upside down as the sensore light is at the top of the TV. This has never been a problem until now when I have wanted to use an Amazon Firestick in it, the problem being the USB and HDMI sockets are...

Is it a model intended for the Australian market?

Looks like you’ll be down the pub for the game.

Surely you would do that from the top so as to be the same as it would be normally. Why would you hinge the bottom?

I saw one where they used a bracket attached to the bottom of the TV using the port where a table top stand would fit?

 

[MisterB]

Sorry I can't offer any useful advice - have you tried parkIng the motorhome on its roof .....

 

[Blossom]

Yes it’s no differentView attachment 515011

Looking at your picture your TV is not physically upside down like mine is, it is the actual picture on screen. It must be something in the settings of the TV which requires changing but I do read you have tried this. Sorry I can’t be any help with that but i am thinking it must be do-able as they would have to do this to mine with it being fitted the way it is. The other thing I am thinking is you have got a TV which should have been fitted in an Autotrail like mine and the orientation of the picture is done at the factory by Avtex before being fitted into the van. I hope you get it sorted but if not ring Avtex they are very helpful, but as you say closed till tomorrow.

Do you see "scaler output" in your hidden menu? If so, this needs to be set to "normal".
If not, try entering the hidden 7343 menu from source.

No scaler output anywhere. 7343 doesn’t do anything only 2580 but nothing there eirher

Isn’t 9210 also an engineers code on DVD player tv’s?

 

[Speve]

have you tried disconnecting the fire stick to see if it’s not something to do with that?

 

[Alan t dog]

Have you tried 0852
