RCA television problems.

Sometimes when I turn to a channel on my television(RCA) I get a black square covering the majority of the screen. I was assuming it was a block. So I went to the menu and checked the settings, all types of ratings were unblocked. Yet, the black square is still there! Any suggestions?

Sony KDF-E55A20- Vertical lines in screen

I own a sony KDF-E55A20 DLP TV that has a strange problem. I turned it on one day and green straight vertical lines abou 1/2" wide appeared all across the screen. I called Sony, and they told me to unplug the set for about a minute in order to reset the TV. The problem still remains. I opened the back and after some initial testing,  found if I turn on the set and wait until the green lines appear, then unplug the LVDS connector- ( the plug with the group of blue wires that runs from the B1 board to the optical block ) and reconnect it, the TV plays perfectly.

Sony 51WS510 Dboard/Flyback Transformer Replacement?

Hi my dad recently got a free 51WS510 tv with the 8 blinking lights. After getting a service manual and reading aruond I have come to the conclusion that the fly back transformer needs to be replaced. Would it be better to just replace the Dboard or is the flyback transformer plug and play (no soldering required). I don't have any electronic circuit board soldering experience so I'm not reallly tempted to do any of that.  Could some tell me how I can safely perform swapping D boards or replacing the flyback transformer if its an easy task.

Philips 26PW6341/37: Just bought used...

Just bought it as a basement TV for the kids. Hooked it up to cable. Everything works fine except one channel, channel 4 (NBC). Rolling picture, other times "ghost" picture. Channel 4 works fine on the same cable and tv upstairs.

 Tuner? On just one channel??? I'm fairly handy, can I fix this myself? TIA

Mitsubishi CS-2710 no video!

Alas, I am having this problem with my old CS-2710 27" CRT TV when these problems that cropped up yesterday:

1) I have no video or audio in internal tuner mode.

2) When I switch my TV to line input mode I hear the audio from the VCR connected to the TV.

3) I can still hear the slight "buzz" through the TV's internal speakers when it's powered on.

WS65813 Convergence

Larry,

I repaired the capacitor issue with my WS65813. Now I have a convergance issue and the screen is blurry. Is it possible that I screwed up the DM board? I was wondering if you could e-mail me the service manual so I could run diagnostics.
