*********model******* Hi I have a Panasonic colour TV, Model No. TX-24A1, Series No. LC-0460063. I'll start by saying I have no experience fixing TV's but I am an experienced computer engineer so I don't mind getting in side and having a play. This TV is quite old perhaps Ten years,
************History******************** * Five years ago something inside it broke (im not sure what I didn't own it then), they believed this to be a tube of some sort. It cost thirty English pounds to fix if that helps * The TV has generally worked fine up until I have had it, however on sporadic ovation (1 every 6 months or so) when the TV was switched on all the colour, contrast, brightness and sound values would be reset to 0 * I later learnt that the above problem could generally (I can't remember this not working) be rectified by switching the TV off and back on again.
*******problem*************** * Finally I woke up this morning switched on the TV and there was no picture, but the TV made a short, 5 second broken doorbell (med frequency) buzz. * I switched the TV on and off a couple of times and the buzz changed to a slightly higher frequency and remand constant * All of this reveals no picture or sound from speakers
******tried****** I have only tried basics
