Hey,
I searched (actually, that's how I found this site, on www.google.com
and found this thread,
http://www.diybanter.com/showthread.php?t=43103
I have a 31" or so GE TV. We've had it for quite some time, howeve
most of that time it has spent its life in the basement unplugge
collecting dust. We had a problem w/ the picture so we called
service man to come out and fix it. He fixed it, however it starte
doing the same thing apparently.
This seems to be a common problem with this TV, as I entered in th
model # and I came up w/ this?

Can someone "interpret" those posts and explain what I need to do? M
dad was going to throw it away, but if I could fix it, I'd have a nic
TV to play Halo 2 on :-D
MODEL NUMBE
31GT 657
SERIAL NUMBE
326660465
CHASSIS NUMBE
CTC177C
And there was some blue sticker on that back that read "QE 596521"
I turned the TV after it sitting for several years. The pictur
quality was fine really (no "snow" or lines) but the color had a pin
hue to it. I then let it sit for about 20 minutes or so and now th
picture is basically gone, just lines. It kept wanting to switch fro
whatever channel I had it on to "3"
