My zenith has a problem!!
ANY HELP IS BETTER THAN NO HELP!!!!!!
HELP ME OUT PLEASE!! TVFREAK
Couple of questions: Does anything happen to make the picture go red or stop from being red or is it completely random? Are you seeing this behavior on all video sources (e.g. regular TV, DVD, VCR) or just on broadcast TV?
See if this article helps:

RON: Nothing happens to tv to make it go red it has a mind of it own. I see this behavior on regular tv , tv broadcast, not so sure about vcr. Dont have dvd on this tv/vcr combo. The link u provided was not my problem. my screen is red all over, not just on characters on tv(e.g. people, trees, objects, ect..)
thanks in advance for all
your help and time,!!

sorry I have a zenith not a sylvaina. that just went out there is no sound or piture.
No trouble with tv before it just quite what could be wrong.
tvfreak, you are probably going to have to take it to a service center to have a look at it.
wife, try unplugging the TV for several hours and see if that does anything.
Thanks for your opinions Ron. I'm just going to junk the tv, it's not worth paying a service guy 3 times what the tv cost just to look inside the thing. 1 I dont have that kind of money, and 2 the tv isn't worth a dime. So i'm going to just Junk the piece of crap Zenith. It would be different if i could fix the problem myself, but no one here seems to know about tv problems. I won't ever buy a Zenith ever again, they are crappy made tv's
Thanks anyway for all your help Ron.

i have a Zenith 52", model # Z52Z95D8. manufactured september 1997. i have had it for 8 yrs. bought it off the showroom floor, so it was used. after about 2 yrs of having it, the picture went out.waited about 8 months to fix, did not have money. cost $400 to repair. 3 yrs later, picture was going crazy. waited another 8 monts to fix, did not have money. cost $300 to repair. 2 months after that,picture went out again. repaired by same tv repair people. asked them why tv went out after only 4 yrs of the repair of the same nature, and they say we have to pay to find out. this is crazy, it only lasted 4 yrs from first time and 2 months from another repair job. husband is ready to kick butt and tv out the door. i was just wanting to know if there was any hope that we could fix it ourselves. we do not have manual from tv, place where we bought it from, could not find it. we thought maybe if we knew what everything was and where it is located, we, well more like i, could fix it. i'm the one that still has hope about the tv. the picture looked so good, when it worked....lol. can you help me. oh, byt the way, i noticed that the little power light was never on when the fixed it the last time, dont know it that means anything.
don't want to let go
