Hey all,
First I'd just like to say thanks to all the great folks that contribute to this great forum. That said...
RCA TV, I bought it about 2 years ago but have hardly used it. It was actually being used as a monitor for my homemade arcade machine but I decided it was too nice of a tv and moved it to the bedroom. Well worked great for a couple of days then shut off one day on it's own. I am assuming the overcurrent protection is kickin in. Now if you power it on the screen is red with diagonal lines across it, about 6 or 7 evenly spaced. Then the TV powers off again after 3 seconds. I was thinking about holding it upside down and shaking it as maybe some loose solder blob got suck between 2 leads or something. But if anyone cares to help me troubleshoot this I would love ya for life. It's practically a new TV. Thanks.
