My PHILIPS tv/vcr combination,has all of a sudden developed a problem this afternnoon,was fine this morning,which is very similar to when you place a large magnet near a tv,i.e that the colours have become distorted,especially the top half of the tv.,nothing wrong with the picture quality or sound.
If i lay the tv on it's side(horizontally),then the colours more or less are restored to normal.
What could have caused this problem,as i've had no magnets in the room/haven't moved the tv from it's position of 10 years.
Any quick solutions,that i could try,before i have to send it for repairs.
Thanks

Thanks for the quick reply
Are these large and expensive parts,that are going to take many hours of labour to repair.

Expect to pay roughly around £40-£45 if it's the positor.
