While old faithful is in the shop (My German T.V that runs all my console shmups brilliantly it tate) I attempted to use my normal T.V watching T.V for playing shmups. DON'T. Whatever it is that adds yellow to the display has too much weight on it and breaks.
Now I have no T.Vs. Just wanted to share that....

You know, the thing that makes yellow is just the circuit board that plugs into the back of the tube. If a wire didn't come undone, it could just be a loose fit- you could open it and press it tight and see if it works again.
(those circuit boards are only hooked onto the tube by the strength of the tube's pins, so sometimes move a bit if you tate or bumb or anything.)
You could say that if the tv still works (but with bad colors) than it's just a loose connection or disconnected wire (rather than any big broken parts)
Don't get shocked- research discharging monitors (I'd just do that fix with my hand on the edges of the cicuit board, with the tv on and everything)
Stay away from the big suction cup thing on top of the tube and it's wires- that's where the real voltage comes from (the kind that will kill you).

Thanks for the tip, I'll try that. I'm just not use to this since all of my other tate enterprises (HP Monitor, Schneider T. V) worked perfectly without tinkering.dpful wrote:You know, the thing that makes yellow is just the circuit board that plugs into the back of the tube.
