toshiba 20WLT56 Screen Distortion

Goldenclogg · 25-06-2007, 17:17

Hi,

I have a Toshiba 20WLT56 LCD TV and has been great since I bought it but screen has now got a problem. When switching on I get vertical "dancing" lines (all colours) and no TV image at all but after about 15 mins it settles and gradually get a normal screen. Before it is back to perfect it displays a ghost screen. Is this a loose connection improving by heat or a more serious failure.
Secondly, anybody have a set up plan to connect a Micro DVD system and a DVD recorder because the system has a RF in only?

Thanks in advance.

The first fault could be one of many things.

The TV does have more than RF in only? There's SCART, VGA, Component and Composite on there!

Thanks for the replay Tellyman, seems I am going to have to get this in for repair as there are no things I can test/try first. Any suggestions as to who to go to as the traditional repairers don't do LCD's. I live in Manchester, are there any known LCD repairers. 2nd part of question. My problem is with the aerial in and out. I meant that there is no aerial out and wondered what the best way to connect these items without the aerial output?
Thanks again.

Goldoenclogg, I have the same tv and the same problem has just started with mine. However, I find that if I put it into standby and back the tv works fine.
