HELP!! - Anyone who knows about CRT TV's................?
Hi,
Yesterday I got my old 28" philips widescreen out of storage. It was working fine the last time I used it (about 3 years ago) but its been kept in a very cold room all this time and now the picture is constantly flickering. I know its not the input thats dodgy because the channel numbers and TV's OSD are flickering also so I know its not just the case of a dodgy scart. I was a great TV and I was hoping to be able to use is as a bedroom TV in my new place and im totally gutted now ![]() This may sound stupid, but I thought if it was very cold on the inside it may just need a while to warm up....but it was on for 2 hours yesterday and the problem didnt go away. Any advice? Or any idea how much it would cost to repair? Thanks in advance to anyone who can help. |

With a bit of use should this dry out????.....or am i clutching at straws? |

My old Phillips 28in Crt is currently at the bottom of my beneath the new LCD panel, worked for twenty years without a hitch so I'm fond of mine too.
![]() Give it time to dry out, maybe, condensation inside. |
