This is a post about a faulty 32" Crown TV. A little google hunting and I
think it is model CTT3207W. The TV is never actually used to watch 'tv', but
as a monitor on a PC via the s-video port and a monitor for a playstation
via a scart socket.
The TV has started to display psychodelic colours and the picture
occasionally jumps to the right for a few minutes (leaving 6" black bap on
the left).
The TV works perfectly for the first 10-15 minutes so I presume the problem
is in a part that takes about that time to warm up. It used to display
strange colours and picture shifts for about half-an-hour before returning
to normal, but now the colours appear after 10-15 minutes and stay.
Does this sound like the LCD panel itself is faulty, or the circuit board in
the TV?
Are TV circuit boards easily replaced, or are they specific and tied to the
LCD panel?
Any tips or advice before I reach for my screwdriver and ebay?
