BEWARE Oids (toy) wrecks your telly

pulliptears

I posted about my old TV back in april 07, and as this thread has been revived I should add that the bloody thing is STILL working perfectly!

Give it a few days dusty, you may be lucky

Thanks - it seems ok this morning so we may have been very lucky. Kids also have a lot of geomags at the moment - whilst I don't think these are as strong I will have a chat with the kids when they get back about not using those near the tv either.

Besdies Pullip, how's the demolishion job going. Lady Freda is a dab hand with the sledge hammer and cast iron baths.

Sorry but can I please hijack this thread?

The green blotch thing caught my eye..My last TV had one on one part of the screen, it wasn't there when you first switche don but came onto the screen after a while. We replaced that tV and bought a new one, and exactly the same thing is happening!

We don't have oids or anything that I can think of that is magnetic but it seems very odd that two TVs completely different makes and ages have had this green blotch..could we have some rogue magnetism in the house or something?

i had this when i replaced my PC speakers and the new subwoofer must have had a far more powerful magent
it was in the same place as the old but affected the TV

Demolition is going well, 3 bedrooms are 90% done now and the bathroom is starting next week

This sort of thing happens when we pause sky+ for a while (normally when something white is on the screen). It does fade after a while, but I've been told, and done it myself, that if you turn the tv off at the tv (ie don't leave on stand-by) for at least 2 hours it corrects itself.

Ive worked on a few tv's with this problem and also found it can be caused by pot plants !...always good to ensure no speakers or plants are next to the tv
