Television Problem
« on: February 07, 2005, 10:53:14 pm »
Hey Guys, thought i might ask in here because you guys seem to know what your talking about.

I have a Mitsubishi 13' Television from 1993......

Over the past six months its started to have problems. When i turn on the tv, the image is crunched into the middle of the screen, making a widescreen sorta  smush with the image making it unwatchable. 5-10mins after the image becomes clear. Its like it needs to warm up for it to work. Anyone know the issue?

likley a cold solder joint or bad cap on the chassis causing a vertical/horizontal deflection problem.( I couldn't tell which way it was smushing from your description)

You likley need to open it open and operate on it to fix it--don't do this if you didn't know that there are 24,000V of juice running around in there.
