Hi there, hoping you good people can help me figure out if I can revive my set. Colours are very red on particular channels, mostly noticeable in the skin tones. There are also horizontal ghost lines extending across the screen if there is any sort of graphics/words displayed. Have attached some images to show.
Set was performing really well till a lighning storm (according to the wife who watches much more TV than I do). Not sure if coincidental or just her trying to join the dots.
Initially I went into the service menu and was fiddling with the channels but nothing really made any difference so I did a service reset. You can see that the first image is very red. This is what it is mostly like. The second image the skin tones are better but no where near what it used to be like, and def not normal. I thought perhaps some setting had defaulted to something odd to shift the colours but nothing seemed to normalise things.
From my reading most suggestions are the main video board of the t-con. The menus are white which seems to implicate the t-con? I think I could replace the board having seen some youtube vids, it doesn't look any more difficult than computer components.
Any wise eyes that have seen this kind of thing before that could help tell me whether it's junk or whether a t-con replacement might be what I'm looking for. Am a little dismayed that there's no one locally that repairs these things.
Thanks in advance. Any help appreciated. Kind of wishing I was rich enough to justify buying a new set, but buying a replacement t-con will be expense enough.
Let me know if you need anything further that would help. Cheers.
