Hello everyone. Well looks like I'm back in school again. Glad to be here.
Miss this place. Well anyway, I have an old RCA tube TV that does not want to turn on. When I push the power button all I hear is the sound of the TV wanting to turn on but it doesn't turn on. This has happened before. Only the last time I called a repair shop to come out and repair it. Now the TV is old and I don't want to pay all that money for the repair. I want to use it in the garage. So I figured I would give it a shot. It's model # F35755MB. I think there's not enough juice for it to turn on. Maybe a relay switch or something but if anyone can help me out I would appreciate it very much. Thank You guys.

When you say an Old Tube TV, do you mean a CRT, or the older ones that used tubes(before transistors?)

It was manufactured in May of 1996.

When you say that you hear it turning on, do you mean you hear the display warming up? Or do you hear a relay click? What is your experience working with electronics?

I can here it trying to warm up but it just turns off.
As for my experience with electronics, I would like to think
I'm okay working with electronics. Not an expert but
I like to tinker here and there.
