it still playes sound fine but no picture. the picture turns black and white lines run through it like it has bad reception. it still plays the fuzz(snow) channels fine but only messes up when a picture is supposed to be showing. the picture will come on everyonce in a while but then goes back out. this happens when i try to play DVD's play video games or anything with a picture. is this tv shot. its not really THAT old.

Disregard the idiots who say your tube is " shot ", the fault you describe fits an AGC fault where a normal signal overloads the signal circuits , in other words the gain of the TV receiver is turned full on all the time, the answer may be found in the sound/vision IF chip where the AGC section may well be contained, It can be a tricky fault to find as it is not all that common, that's the best I can do , Good luck .

I think you should replace picture tube. There are cathode rays which displays colours through picture tube. It is main part of TV screen. I think the picture tube cannot be repaired. So place a new picture tube. It has high cost but ofcource less than new TV.

Picture tube is shot. I had a TV like that too once. Time to buy a new one. (You COULD replace the tube, but a new TV would be much more cost effective.)

I'd definitely take it back to the store; something straight out of the box shouldn't have ANY problems at all. You paid for a new, working TV, and that's what you should have.

your picture tube is shot and it would be cheaper to buy a new tv than to have the old one fixed
