I own a Toshiba 32ZP18Q CRT widescreen TV which I bought new approximanately 3.5 years ago. It was purchased due to exceptional reviews and has lived up to expectations. I have a Sky digital receiver and a Toshiba DVD player connected to it, the Sky box via scart and the DVD via component video inputs. The TV has recently started to lock up a short period of time (usually 10 minutes or so) after it is switched on. This makes it impossible to adjust the volume or switch between AV channels, via the remote or the front panel controls. It also appears that switching the DVD player on can cause the lock up, even if the TV has only been on for a few moments. The Sky box seems to play no part in any of this and providing I switch to the Sky AV channel immediately after firing the set up I can surf channels all day and night with no problem (all at the same volume of course!). A secondary issue is that if the set has been on for any length of time and then is switched off, powering it on again only results in a click and a black screen.... I have tried rewiring everything but it makes no difference. The store I bought it from will collect it for =A335 but need to keep it for a period of time to allow it to be examined. Before I commit to this course of action I wondered if anyone has experienced similar issues and can advise what the best method of resolution might be. If it could be sorted 'at home' by an engineer then I would be much happier than being without if for weeks..... Thanks in advance...
