Answer 1

If you are determined to fix it yourself then take off the the back cover and take a look inside ! see the transformer with the thick lead sprouting from it and going to the pic tube bowl ? Well it has probably come adrift because it is relatively heavy compared to the other bits and pieces. now get a look underneath the transformer, you may have to remove a couple of screws to slide the main board out . If you are real lucky it may just want soldering ! if you you are unlucky it may have cracked the circuit board so examine the copper tracks very closely , repairing these calls for a bit of know how and practise but if you are still determined then you will find a way .

Answer 2

Be smart and save what you can.... take it to a TV repair shop or you will never see the TV working again. If you don't do it right, you could burn your house down.

If you want to fix it yourself though, be prepared for a lot of heartache.

Answer 3

First of all, what's REALLY wrong with it?? You would probably have to open the whole thing and take a look inside and see what may be the problem. Like out of the ordinary.

Answer 4

If you decide to repair the TV, use caution. There are capacitors that maintain the charge even after the TV is off/unplugged. If these capacitors are not discharged, you could get a nasty shock.

Answer 5

What's wrong with it?

you will probably need the schematic and some electronics expertise and test equipment.
