Default Broken TV from Floor Vibrations? hardwood floor, five guys jumpingaround playing RockBand on Wii.

Here's the situation, what are you thoughts?

- 27" tv, few years old, no signs of aging or intermittent
performance.
- hardwood floow
- sitting atop a wood ikea four leg entertainment table with lower
shelf for DVD plays
- 12 people in a small living room.
- 5 guys jumping around while playing RockBand on Wii

and then it happened... the tv made a loud clicking sound, like
electrical arcing, and then an intense white narrow, horizontal band
shot across the screen with a large white circle decreasing in size.
finally the screen would not do anything but the clicking and
intermitten sound of arcing internally continued. now the tv does
nothing but sit in the garage.

are tv's sensitive to vibrations? one of the guys said he saw the tv
moving as they were playing.



any input/affirmation that it was the vibration alone that caused the
problem?
we seeking tv advice before asking the guys involved to be accountable
to their actions if it was indeed the vibrations.


Thank you!
Tommy
