television goes again by hitting the top of it?
Hi there, I have a 12 year old sony tv that just suddenly started having
problems, first sign of trouble was that when you turned it on no picture would come up, that includes osd, and then after about 10 seconds it would automatically shut down to standby mode again, no matter how many times I tried it just kept doing this until that is I gave the top of the tv a whack at which point all was fine again for sometime but then most of the picture would disappear and there would just be flickering strips of picture near the top of the screen and then if I did not give it some more whacks it would turn off again. Any ideas as to what this could be, could it be as simple as dust or is this the last dying gasps of the cathode ray tube, why would a whack help the tube to go again? |
