27 inch RCA is solid green
Hi:
I have a 27 inch RCA TruFlat television. It is approximately 2 years old. When I turned the TV on, the picture turned all bright green (like the color of a highlighter), with lines running horizontally through it. It remained this way for about 15 minutes, and when I turned it on and off a few times, returned to normal. It worked properly for 2 days, then all of a sudden again, turned itself off, when I turned it back on the green had reappeared. For several hours it stayed on the green screen. After letting it rest over night, I turned it on, and still it was green. Again, after turning on and off repeatedly, it returned to normal, and has been working for about 2 hours.
When it is solid green, not even the channel numbers are very visible, nor is the menu etc... (they only show as feint ghosts). Upon startup the image appears as a very feint ghost in the background of the green, and eventually disappears to solid green.
Any idea what the problem could be? Is this something I could repair myself? If not, do you have any guess as to how much it may cost to repair (and yes, I completely understand it would be just a wild guess ;) )
Thanks so much!
