RCA tv goes on and off by itself

I have a 2 year old RCA F36650 TV (36" Conventional type). It started to go on and then off by itself. Now it does this every few seconds. On... off... constantly. Is it junk? or is there a reasonable fix ?
Thank you for any ideas !!

Sony KV19 Scart - AV Ext switch

I have recently bought a Philex AV transmitter and am trying to transmit from a Sky+ box to a KV19.The KV19 gives me 29 channels and has a scart socket but nothing seems to happen when I plug the Philex receiver onto the Scart socket. Is there some way of switching the Scart on - there does not seem to be an EXT or an AV channel?! Thanks.

Sound but No Video with Component Cables DVD to TV

HP 4240 PLasma TV. Denon receiver and DVD. Have component video and sound cables connected correctly. Have DVD sound but TV screen on YPBR says no input or mode not supported. Have tried connecting cable directly to TV bypassing receiver with no success.
There is video if the actual cable antenna is connected to DVD and then to TV.
Also have video using old composite cable but picture would disappear during playing of movie.
THought the hi tech cables would resolve.

Poor tv image from my computer

I have a 32" RCA TV which is relatively new. I tried connecting my computer to the television but the picture is very poor. I see vertical and horizontal lines and it's pretty fuzzy. Is it possible to get a crystal clear computer image on my TV? If so, what video card should I get? My TV on only has svideo, rca, and maybe component if I recall correctly.

zenith 35" tv vertical size has shrunk

My zenith 35 inch tv vertical size decided to shrink about 5 inches while we were away on a month long trip. the tv was unplugged from ac and antenna connections. is this caused by a capacitor changing values on the vertical output board ? is it worth doing a check of all the parts or getting a replacement from tvparts.com and just swapping boards.

ps: i have been in electronics about 40 years in the amateur radio field and two-way radio service..

thanks, ed

Toshiba - some channels w/no sound

WE have a Toshiba 24AF43 connected to cable. Suddenly three channels are experiencing strange difficulties. Channel 7 has sound during commercials - but on football games all we hear is the crowd noise - no commentary. Channel 11 has no sound at all. Channel 13 has English during the day and Spanish at night. All other channels work fine. Does this set need to be exorcised?
