TV volume doesn't work (unless I turn it waaaaaay up)
(1/1)
javeryh:
I turned my TV off... and then on (probably a bit too fast) and the sound doesn't work now unless I turn it way way up (but it's all staticy when I do that).  Is my TV fried?  It's a 15 year old 19" Samsung so it's not the end of the world - I'd just rather not have to get a new one for the bedroom... If there's a quick fix I'd love to hear it.

Could be as simple as a melted wire to the speaker terminals, could be a ruined internal amplifier. At that age I'd swing for a new one anyway.

Try and get the shell off, but if the plastic is moulded on around the parts you need to view, forget it - you'll chip it to bits trying to prise parts off.

if it has rca outs you can hook speakers into it....

You could get a cheap TV from the newspaper ads or craigslist from around your neighborhood.   I bet you could get a good 27" TV for $50 or $70 only.

... or try Ebay .. I got a 19" CRT monitor for only $20 USD  8)
