Toshiba TV29C90 problem; Image fades to black...

EXCESSIVE GREEN IN PICTURE:
Advice Sought

Back in the beginning of October, I cleaned
the TV's interior out (to like in new condition),
pulled the leaky PIP module and inserted the
2ea. 4.7uf@50v caps and was very happy to have
a functional TV.

My next step is to find guidance on getting the
prevailing "green" out of the picture.

I've I hit the reset button, and is does the
trick, however, the focus goes south, and
the contrast goes to the maximum level.
Color and bright go to the 50% level.
If I reduce the contrast, the picture
refocuses a-okay, but everything acquires
a green tint.

In another attempt after a reset, I left the
contrast alone, and reduced the "brightness"
to clear up the blury focus (no green tint).
It also does the trick, but I have to sit
away from the TV in the direct center, with
the lights off, to see the *dim* output with
excellent color and excellent focus.

Does anyone have Any suggestions I may
follow up on? Can I make an adjustment
on one of the boards, or do I need to replace
another cap or a different component?

Thank you for reading my post.

Assuming that working through the usual adjustments (screen, drive, etc)
doesn't clear up the problem, it's likely you have a worn-out CRT with
insufficient red and blue output to match the green at "normal" brightness
levels.

Nice quip from the above

" From so many users, ranging from large corporate networks all the way
to the home user, the number one reason people give for wanting to
repair their hardware is they want to avoid a new system and the
disaster known as Windows Vista!

On a humorous note regarding Vista, I spoke to an IT guy who manages a
small business network for an insurance company (maintains a 100
terminal network), and had a bunch of failing Dell SX280's, which I
repaired. One branch had the brilliant idea to "upgrade" to Vista
systems, and his job was to make them all play nice with each other.
This gentleman was probably the most professional, polite, and courteous
clients I've ever spoken with on the phone, until we got onto the
subject of Vista....then the four-letter words started flowing
freely... In the end, he wiped all the Vista machines, and upgraded
them back to XP Pro."

A bus stops and two Italian men get on. They seat themselves and engage in animated conversation. The lady sitting behind them ignores their conversation at first, but she listens in horror as one of the men says the following: "Emma come first. Den I come. Two asses, dey come together. I come again. Two asses, dey come together again. I come again and pee twice. Then I come once-a more."
"You foul-mouthed swine," retorted the lady indignantly, "in this country we don't talk about our sex lives in public!"
"Hey, coola down lady," said the man, "Imma just tellun my friend howa tospella Mississippi."

I was on a Southwest flight once that was delayed at the gate after everyone boarded. The flight attendant said over the intercom, "We're sorry for the delay. The machine that normally rips the handles off your luggage is broken, so we're having to do it by hand. We should be finished and on our way shortly."

Under your theory, what is the point of buying faster hardware to run
slower software so you end up where you started?

That's a viable option but don't expect all your problems to go away.
Linux just exchanges one set for another.

On the original complaint, the problem with Vista is it attempts to be
too 'user friendly' making it as difficult as possible to manually
configure.

The problem with Linux is it's a disjointed hodgepodge that makes it
difficult for anyone less than a 'Pro' to configure.

Most of the major 'free' apps (openoffice, gimp, etc) are also
available for Windows, or something similar is.

And indeed, Linus (and/or other core kernel developers) has stated that
Linux has no roadmap, and is 'evolutionary' rather than 'designed'.
OTOH, other *nix flavors, like OpenBSD, have well-documented frameworks
and development goals.

Hey Graham. I just remembered this little gem

See what he says about Linux towards the end ... !! While you're at it, give
yourself a good laugh by having a look at

It's my mate's workshop. He's in the background laughing hysterically. The

well.
