RCA ColorTrack 2000 - Picture faded/washed out
I have a RCA ColorTrack 2000 20" (F20705DG) from about 1991. Today the
picture is almost completed faded/washed-out of color. It is bright, white-ish looking image with a little color, and slightly diagonal lines. It starts out with a black screen and a white line, then pops to the faded picture. Any thoughts on what the problem might be? I'm trying to evaluate whether to get a new TV (LCD HDTV) and just take this one to the dump, or try and repair it (actually, I planned on buying a new one and bringing this one upstairs, but it might not be worth it). I've really liked this TV (though it has had an intermittent problem where when I turn it on, sometimes it has a purple-ish halo look, and I need to turn it off and on again to get a good picture). Thanks in advance. |

RCA ColorTrack 2000 - Picture faded/washed out
Thanks all!
I think the best option is to take a ride to the county dump. And stop by Best Buy or HiFi Buys and get a look at a couple of sets. The Panasonic TC-32LX60 (LCD) or TH-37PX60U (Plasma) sound pretty good (though only the first will fit into my cabinet). |

Thanks in advance. At the very least, you've got high voltage problems and possibly vertical issues as well, I cant see anything that indicates any issue with eht or vert scan, what makes you think that? NT |

NT Fault in vert circuit can cause black screen with horizontal white line. Fault in flyback/hv can cause retrace lines. Among other things, obviously. Point is, it's not worth repair regardless. -- -Gandalf Never meddle in the affairs of a dragon for you are crunchy and taste good with ketchup! |
