Who knows about TV's?

[hevnsnt]

Ok, so I need some TV repair assistance, is there any TV guys here?

A couple weeks ago, my tv in my bedroom (27" Proscan) started acting up. When you first turn it on, the picture will show, and then all of a sudden it will go to static. If you move the cable around on the back, the picture will return. So I figured that it was a bad coax cable or something, so I replaced it... However this did not solve the problem. Now it is still doing this, and I have found that if I stomp on the floor it will fix it 😀.. Well I have had enough of stomping, and I would like to fix the problem. I am pretty electronic savy, and taking a soldering iron to my tv is not a big deal. Do you think it is just a loose connection where the coax hits the connector, or is it something else that I can fix?

Any ideas?

sounds like the connector in the back is loose.

I'd assume that a solder joint has gone bad on the back of the coax jack, but I'm no tv repairman.

You realize that you can kill yourself working on CRTs, right?

Same here, I've not worked on that kind of TV, but I would expect that the coax cable connector has came unsoldered.

Some part of the converter is broken. Yeah, you would have to open it to solder the part.
