hi, just over a year ago I bought a 51cm colour tv from Big W store.AWA brand and model no.W571. For the first year,no problems at all,now a month later,now the warranty's run out (typical!) i've had to get it fixed (?!) because suddenly one morning i turned it on and there was the usual perfect sound but no picture as such.By that I mean just a blue screen with very faint image in background.Sort of like looking at a photo through a negative.Then within seconds that is replaced by just the blue screen with faint white lines running across the screen. I eventually found a technicial who could collect the tv and look at it straight away. He wasn't sure what was causing the problem,saying it could've been 3/4 things including the tube but that, that was the least likely cause. The following day he rang to confirm that it definately wasn't the tube but there were stil 2/3 other things it could be. A couple of hours later he said he'd found the problem,which was a bit too technical for me to understand but said he could fix it and it would be probably ready to collect later that day. It was! Again he tried to explain what the problem was but it was too complicated,something to do with the circuit board and something connected to the tube. Anyway all was working fine,and now 4 days later the same problem has occurred:( So despite forking out nearly $200AU to get it fixed (supposedly) the problem still remains.Does anyone have any suggestions? It's been suggested that this time round something else could be causing the same problem as opposed to any parts that were replaced. Hope someone here has some suggestions and/or have had the same problem. Sorry if my info has been a bit vague,but done my best to describe the situation. Thanks John
