I have a cheapy 19" Philips TV hanging on my office wall.

It's taken to making a popping noise, suspiciously sounding like a
spark gap.

I'm pretty sure this is CFL back-lit.

Anyone knowledgeable of what to do about this... adjustment to look
for, etc ?



Turn the swamp cooler down?

Cheers


Haven't had one of those since 1993.

I love to cook with wine. Sometimes I even put it in the food.
