Philips 37pfl560: Yellow picture

[madyoyo]

HI.

I have a weird problem with an old Philips 37pfl560 TV i put out of storage: the picture have a noticeable yellow hue, and its not caused by the settings (did a factory reset). I've never seen this before. I will try to get a photo with a real camera, with my phone its hard to see because of automatic white balance, but in real live the whites are really yellow.

Anyone have an idea of what can cause this? Can CCFL tubes get "warmer" with time? This tv have several analog inputs,so its nice for retrogaming.

The tv model is incomplete. Bad ccfl.

Its probably 37pfl5604h, the sticker is hard to read. And i can confirm, after disassembling the screen, the backlight seems very "warm". So i dumped the tv to the recycling center, and i got lucky, someone was about to throw a 55 inch LG with bad leds. I guess its a win for me

I was watching a web page selling a CoB led strip where each 50cm are fed with 230vac (it can be cut every 50cm), i think there's possibility to hack these to be fed by a tv set built in regular inverter.. with more voltage.. eventually the inverter output can be trimmed a bit with feedback hack...

inverter current feedback is a difficult chapter by the way..
