There was a partial black out tonight. The lights got very dim for
about an hour. The VCR was recording when it happened and it stayed on
at the reduced energy level. Then when the electricity came back to
full power, the VCR died. It has no power at all. Do you think it blew
a fuse?
I think it's your brain that's blinking.I dont remember the make or model, just a general question about
repairing a tv that is blinking. The clear picture goes into a black
screen for a full sec then comes back. Repeats every 5 mins or so.
Any thoughts? The tv is about a 27 in tv bought back in the early 90's
is the only detail for now that is constantly used.
Thanks in advance.
Could very well be something other than the picture tube.You should always mention the make and model number of your TV set when
posting.
Generally speaking, it sounds like the CRT is most likely defective. CRT
replacement in a typical TV set, or computer monitor, generally costs more
than a new unit.

I have a television with a strange problem. When i start the tv it
takes about 10-15 seconds before the picure appears. And also the red
color is missing, so the piture is bluegreen (but no lines). And then
after about a half minute red fields starts flashing across the
screen, and then it turnes off. Any idea what cause this?
Hi everyone,
My good old laserprinter suddenly refuse to print with the display
showing: "50-Needs service". Anyone know what is wrong?
I heard somebody say it has got an internal counter, and after a
certain amount of printouts, it display this message though it must
not be anything wrong. The counter needs reseting in some way.
Anyhow, any advice is appreciated,
Regards, Stefan
I have an old (mid-1980's) RCA Colortrak 2000 TV.
I operate the TV -- using a remote-control or using the buttons on the
front panel of the TV set -- the time is displayed on the TV screen.
When I set the TV-time to match the real-time (for example, 2 PM), five
hours later (at 7 PM real-time), the TV-time is 9 PM.
How can I get the TV-time to stay the same as the real-time?
Is the clock a part of the TV or is it in the remote-control?
Gary

The coax cable runs from the antenna to an antenna amplifier (about 20'
away) then out to the TV.
The best location for a masthead amp is on the mast. ;-)
How much do you lose in 20' though?
Errrr - what printer is this?The problem is we don't use our color printers very often and in the
interim the color cartridges dry up. The black ones do too in record

bought a refill kit for our specified cartridges, and tried refilling
the blacks first. We drilled the hole on top and refilled them and then
plugged the hole all with only marginal success. I have two black ones
sitting in front of me right now that are refilled but won't print. Is
there a trick to successfully doing this? And is there anything I can
do to try to prolong the life of these stupid things between long

I'll tell you my own brief experience with both re-inking and ink drying up.

I have a viewsonic a95F monitor thats dead. When I turn it on, it
makes a high pitched sound the screen remains completely black. Any
idea as to what this is? I checked the fuse by the power line and it
seems ok. I may just give this away to anyone who lives around the
orange county area and wants it.
I got a pack of 4 fuses for $2.50 from Radio Shack. I replaced the fuse
and the VCR is working perfectly now. It's a Panasonic VCR and it's the
best one I ever had. Never gives me problems.
I used a DVM to check for leakage on an AC line and got false readings. AIndeed, a low input impedance meter has a lot going for it in many day to
day measurements. And of course a swinging meter needle can often tell
more than a digital readout. And is very difficult to blow into the middle
of next week. ;-)
Cos you're in Oz mate, not in the US. Sometimes people have to put theHow much do you lose in 20' though?
In any case, the question has to be asked, if the loss is
insignificant, then why aren't all antenna amps installed behind the
TV, or under the roof away from the weather?
IR will suck. Use RF.I'm putting together a talent show and would like audience members to
vote for performers using keypads. I think I need a bunch of infrared
transmitters/keypads, a receiver, a computer, and some software. Does
anyone have an idea where I can get the keypads and put together such a
system inexpensively? Thanks for any info.
