TV with yellow tint for a few seconds

[Mike Smith]

Help..!!!!!!

My tv has developed a fault, which is really annoying me. Its about 5 years
old and worked fine until now. The picture is fine one minute then all of a
sudden it will get a yellow tint for about half a minute, then it will be
normal again.



Sometimes if you look carefully, there is a slightly yellow column on the
left of the screen, but its really not noticeable until the complete screen
goes that colour.



Can anyone advise what it could be?



Hope someone can help,



Steve

Sounds like you're losing blue, but you can verify that easily if you have a
VCR that does the blue screen with no signal, it'll go black if you lose the
signal to the blue gun completely. This could be as simple as cracked solder
joints on the neck board.

Thanks to all who replied both on the newsgroup and through email. Didn't
want to spend any longer on this tv so it ended up in the bin. The repair
bill just to look at it and tell me what's wrong were too high, never mind
actually repairing it. Thanks for your suggestions.

Should have at least tried to give it away, it was probably a fairly easy
repair for anyone who can solder.
