Help!! is my T.V. going to the Tip !!

cs (Harmless) posted this on Monday, 16th February 2004, 23:16

Looking for a bit of advice - 28" widescreen t.v. and the picture has gone down to about
10" across the screen and inverted slightly at the sides.
Really just checking to see if anyone has been in the same boat and is it worth repairing or is it going for a one way trip to the Tip!
It`s only an Akura in my son`s bedroom so it`s not effecting my view :)
but trying to decide about repair/replacement

cheers!

From memory it sounds like field frame collapse (fault description), may only be a transistor or possibly LOPT, cant quote wont quote.

But may help. ;)

Close.
Field (or Frame) collapse is where the picture collapses verically. If the line transformer fails then the set could come in from the sides, but as most line tranformers also send power to other parts of the TV, the TV usually goes dead.

CS: can you clear up if the picture is 10" shorter in width or in height?

Its been 16 years since C&G 224 PartII (The year they seperated the courses & I took Industrial Equipment option). So I dont feel too bad about my conclusion.
