Does this sound terminal? My parents have a 6 yr old Sony 25 inch
standard TV. It's used every day but over the last few months started to
take a few minutes to come on each day. It went ok for a few weeks but
recently started again to take a while to come on, but now the picture
has also gone pink! It seems to be only white or light colours that
have turned pink. For e.g, sky & cloud shots and anything that supposed
to be white are all pink (watching Emmerdale all the sheep were pink,
lol) Darker colours appear to remain normal. Could it be the tube on
the way out?


I understand that failure of the green is a fairly common fault with
Sony tubes :-(

Comes from watching too much Emmerdale..... :-)

This would result in a magenta to pink caste on the picture.
