Panasonic 17" color tv, mnfgr'd 1987. Standard design, layout near as I can tell.
Dog bumps tv stand, pic is still viewable, but goes snowy and has pulsing waves across screen.
If I fiddle the power cord where it enters the box or bang on side of box I can get the proper pic back, if only for a second or 2.
I'm not particularly skilled at electronics, but if I could get proper access to where the cord connects to the power supply, I could likely solder the connection or some-such. Access looks kinda problematical: it's right under the nasty ol' CRT. The one that stores (what?) 20k volts?
I know, I know. The unit is truly jurassic, and the new LCD's etc are priced down a bunch. But it's stereo and it's connected to my jurassic stereo audio system. And I don't think enough of what they broadcast to spend any $ on it unless I have no choice.
Any ideas on how to approach it? Just workbench it and start disassembling stuff? Cautions other than about the 20kv "gun" at the back of the CRT? Etc, etc.
Thx, Puddin'
