Default TV turns itself off & on ..


Hi all ;
My old fat-screen CRT 32 inch RCA has taken on a mind of its own -
- it has started to turn itself OFF & ON after working for 20
minutes or so. I took the batteries out of the remote to see if it
was causing the trouble - it made no difference.
Any ideas ?
I like to keep stuff from the re-cycle / garbage bin, if I can.




BTW, you may discover that you have to *pay* to dispose of it!
If so, see if your municipality has a periodic "hazardous waste"
disposal program (first saturday of every month, that sort of thing)
where they will take it off your hands for you.
Here, some places charge a flat $10 to dispose of it; others do so
by *weight* (so bigger tubes cost more).



I'm in southern Ontario. I believe that the electronic recyclers
have some sort of "agreement" ... nudge wink ..
They still _pay_ for electronic waste.
Hazardous wastes chemicals / batteries / etc have special
pick-up dates.
