Tv lost AV input 5

I posted in help forums, but no one responded. How the techie people have knowledge.
I have a Philips TV. I don't know what model, or how to find out what model? It has a DVI port that I had my computer hooked up to. One day it just stopped working. After that I also found out the the "widescreen" option for video format has disappeared. It is a projection TV, so it has the 3 bulbs inside and is HD. I think it is 54" as well. So I figured out how to get the advanced menu, but didn't want to mess with settings I don't know what are.
Does anyone know anything about projections tv's? What info I could add to get better help? Any idea what happened? The TV still works, my x-box 360 plays fine. I also feel that one day some of the settings changed on there own, but I have no proof, and it seems weird. I couldn't say if I messed them up one day on accident. I have had the tv for maybe 5 years? I did have it worked on once. The color got out of whack when I moved once, so a pro came and reset all the colors. He also replaced a convergence board as well as the coolant in one of the bulbs I think it was. Anyway after that it was really good, until the AV input just disappeared.
Thanks in advance for help.

As far as the rest goes unfortunately I don't know much besides probably internal wiring, but it's sounding like you're going to end up putting in more than it's worth to get it fixed, so maybe just get a new TV? Also, doing a google search on the menu items you're confused about will give you enough knowledge to fiddle around and restore the settings. I'm guessing those settings have to do with picture quality/color/contrast etc, and will not be too helpful for restoring the DVI connection, though.
