- Hi there,
- My parents television has developed a flicker. The set is about six
- years old, and color. After about 30 minutes of usage, the flicker
- vanishes and the picture returns to normal. Also, when first powered
- on, the flicker is constant for approx. five minutes. When present,
- the flicker turns the picture whitish, dullens the color, and the
- picture has about ten horizontal lines across itself (20 inch set).
- After the first half hour post powering it up, the picture is fine for
- the entire duration until the next powering on.
-
- Any ideas on what's wrong?
