The color might run out leaving you with a black and white picture.
Not really, there is no reason you can't mount it upside down, should be easy if you are using a wall mount

Lol, not an option guys! I like to do things the right way and this was going to be a freebie gift for a friend.

After taking to shop jimmy tech about it for about 30 min we have come to the conclusion that one of 2 things might have been the cause.

1. The sticker on the mainboard was wrong and it was not the claimed revision as stamped (they said they have seen this in the past with Emerson/RCA)

2. The mainboard was bad/EEPROM was scrambled.

Either way I am getting a full refund, SJ really took care of me and were pretty helpful along the way. Sucks that this Proscan couldnt be fixed, I have no idea what cause the original mainboard to go bad.

Thanks for the follow-up, and that is why SJ is my supplier for the boards I need, they have really good services.

You would need the service information to check if the OPTION BYTE settings are correct. If setting the Option Byte does not help, you would then have to go into 'Service Mode' by entering as suggested MENU>1>1>4>7, select Control>Config Option>HV FLIP. If it is ON put it to OFF and if it is OFF put it to ON. Then power cycle the TV (turn off the TV then turn it back on).
Hope this helps.

Stupid suggestion, i know, but do you have any reason why you can't just mount the LCD upside down? It might take a bit of mechanical work to have it all fit correctly, but should be doable.

That's funny...or you could just watch TV standing on your head.

I didn't see any option for this, I did see debug and advance debug but when I turned those options on I didn't see any new menu items open up.

The only option that I did see was LVDS odd/even, default was odd but if I put it to even the screen would go blank. I didn't save of turn it off on even due to fear I wonldnt be able to recover.

Nope don't do that. You will be unrecoverable. I'm betting on a revision change where they physically built the tv with the lcd upside down at some point using the same mainboard. if there's no option for it it's probably physically no Way to straighten it out

Re: proscan pled3216a upside down picture (mainboard replaced)

Yea, I already pulled it and boxed it up. I will hang on to the tv for a bit but I am not to optimistic about finding a replacement if I have to match the numbers of the original.

Thanks everyone for the help/input.

Sorry you gave up.......

Not at all. As with many things in life it is wise to know when to step back from something and move on.

Re: proscan pled3216a upside down picture (mainboard replaced)

I didn't give up without a fight, I spent 3 hours messing with every option in the SM, and nothing I did would change the screen orientation.

I spent another 2 hours with SJ with tech support, on-line chat and time on hold.
I will mess with it later on I just got a LG60PV450 today so this will be my time/money sink

I already have one but why not have two!
