high-pitched whine - TV went blank
My 12 y.o. 25" Zenith TV suddenly went blank, started emitting a high-
pitched squeal and the smell of frying electronic components until I unplugged it. I did a little research into a high-pitched squeal and found it's usually something fixable. Is it worth trying to have it fixed (I've never worked on a TV's innards), or should I dump...err...recycle it and get a new one? I paid $265 new. Thx. |

Thx. 12 years old would place the manufacture in the mid 90s, I'm not sure if it applies to this particular set, but Zenith had a huge rash of CRT failures in 25" sets made in that era. I wouldn't put much effort into repairing that particular set, older 25" CRT sets are a dime a dozen, you can find a perfectly good one on Craigslist for very little. |

I got on craigslist and found several that look interesting, like a Philips 26" HDTV CRT WIDESCREEN for $195. Owner says it was purchased in 2004. |

If this bitch (Original Poster) would have googled first then she would have found that out. |
