Right the main TV we had decided to no show anout 3inchs of its picture at the top of the screen! but everything else was fine. So i though no worries get a new TV for living room but i will have that one in my Bed room as it still 100 times better than my portable Anyway today the picture come on only in black and white But strange thing is the teletext etc still comes on in colour So is the main tube fooked, and can u repair them nowadays?

 

duno mate but dont try looking at it yourself as he capacitors inside hold and pack quite a punch if ya touch them

 

No worries they if i touched it, it would enver go back together again

 

Probably not worth repairing.

Get a second hand one out of the paper - much easier and prob. cheaper.

I assume you HAVE beaten the crap out of your telly, havent you?!

Well, thats how you fix them isnt it??

 

lol well it used to use its colour but a little tap to the side would bring it back, but this time it aint working But when it used to lose it colour before everything used ot be black and white even teletex Strange.

Looks like i will be going back to portable in the bed room

 

Our telly went wrong and we bought a new one.

Then we spotted an ad for the local TV shop, saying no charge if they couldn't fix it so we took it to them instead of the dump.

Their deal was, if it cost less than Ł25 to fix they would just do it and call us to come in and collect it or, if it was going to cost more they would call and give us the choice to take it away, have it fixed or leave it with them.

Two days later I went down and got my telly back working 100% for Ł25.

 

telly repairs are normally easy to do mate!

go on take it appart and have a go! normally dry joints! and as your teletext is still colour you tube should be fine!

have a look on the web for your part number, and normally there is fault finding lists out there!

as for the capacitors,, dont worry about it,,,,,it wont hurt me

 

Have you tried hitting it? Violence solves all known problems

 

more fun is the line output transformer .. it charges th screen with a high voltage ...but ...the screen acts like a huge capacitor ... got about a 5 inch spark jump from one
deffo sounds like a dry joint to me mate...

 

i touched the round bit with the 2 metal prongs at the back of one, one time, DAAAYUUUM i got a bit of a punch of it

 

Well does anyone know how to get rear projection tv's to work!!
