Hi, I was recently given this tv by an acquaintance. Upon turning it on at home I discovered the overall picture fuzzed out in red/pink/purple hues. It has nothing to do with inputs. After turning it on/off several times, the tv actually did work for about an hour. I needed to untangle cables behind it so I turned it off again and the red fuzzy picture is all I get now. After a day, nothing is changing. My acquaintance says that he never had any trouble with the tv whatsoever. Albeit heavy as hell, transportation between his house and mine went without a hitch so I can't see that having anything to do with the problem. As far as he knows, the power cable is original.
After doing some internet searching it seems like this is a somewhat common problem and the general fix seems to be repairing/replacing the Zsus board.
I'm totally ignorant when it comes to electronics and I have a tv that is small but works just fine, so I wouldn't really be interested in investing much money in repairing it. I'm just looking for advice on whether it's a good bet the problem lies with the zsus board and to put the $40 or so on a refurb since it seems fairly straight forward to replace? I realize there could be other device failures but the symptom seems to steer towards others' same experience where replacing it alleviated the problem.
Any help is appreciated. Thanks!!!!
