mine did the same thing and i took it in.they told me that it was a transformer.watch for sparking and smoke.the repair guy said it was a common thing to happen to these tvs
I have a 52 inch rear projection RCA TV that, after 8 years, displays only a blue line when first turned on. Sometimes after 5 to 10 minutes the picture starts to appear, first distorted with large black bands, then slowly develops into a mostly normal picture.
After running for 3 to 4 hours the picture goes away leaving the same blue line. Turning it off then back on does not help. Sometimes I can go through the same start sequence the next day.
I would like to fix the TV and would like to get some ideas what is wrong with it.
is it buzing noise that you can see and hear try checking in back or front to locate exact spot of noise even try darkening the room it may be coming from anode of one of the tubes you will see it if it is arcing hit power button for short time only allowing set to operate this way may cause more problems cptnelectron
i have a different problem with the same tv, the colors seem to all be gone except for yellow. i tried the reconvergence and whatever else i could find in setup mode but nothing works. any suggestions?
