Help with Panasonic rear projection TV?

I have a Panasonic PT-53WX53 RPTV. Recently, the very top and very bottom are cut off. Using the Aspect button on the remote accomplishes nothing except when putting it in 4:3 mode. I can get into the Setup screen to do a convergence adjustment and it lets me move it up/down and left/right, but once I get to that part of the screen, it wont do anything BUT let me move the convergence lines. The only way I can get out of the screen after that is to turn the TV off on the front panel. From what I've been reading, it sounds like a convergence issue...esp since it locks up on that screen...except the picture isn't distorted that is the epitome of a convergence issue.
I have no qualms about going in and diagnosing, but I can't seem to find a service manual...only the user manual.
If anyone can lead me in the right direction, that would be AWESOME!! And we are broke so I can't just call a repairman or buy a new TV.

There's also the possibility that the 'Ok'/Action button the remote doesn't work. When I try to use the Ok button, the TV button on the remote just blinks 3 times.

Thanks in advance!!
