help with a TV?

[Nigmafyre]

Well, this might be the completley wrong place for it, but i have a 27" TV that was given to me, and the picture is all blue. I am gonna try to salvage it, as it is a pretty nice TV. I have tried to adjust the blue drive and blue bias, as well as the rest of the drives and biases (red and green i think?) to no avail. the red and green show some effect on the picture while the blues do not at all? a blown blue circuit??

if its any help its a GoldStar model CMT-2642

thanks people, and if no help can be had, perhaps a link to something htat will????

Picture tube shot??

I'm not a TV guy, but I can tell you that if you take it to a repair shop it often costs close to what a new one does. I have no idea where to get parts and I could be wrong about this but goldstar was the last of the USA made TV's and they are either now out of country or out of business. As I said, I could be wrong.

No more tubes in TV's anymore, circuit boards. Only tube is the cathode ray tube. If that goes you get black. The blue screen is the default screen that notes - no signal. Try removing all of the things from the TV - VCR, DVD, Cable box and just run your antenna or cable box straight to it. Still no picture - a card inside is shot. It's probably the card that controls the cathode ray tube, or as the goodly sheriff notes "the picture tube".

You can get this size TV from any super store from $200 and up for better quality picture. If you turn to a pro shop to repair it (good luck finding one) it might just cost more than a brand new one with better resolution.

Bummer. Do what I did when my TV died. Get more active on the Internet, go outside and do things and start reading again.

No TV does a brain good.
