Hello,
I'm a non-techical person and I came across this website via a google search when trying to determine what may be wrong with my TV. I have a WT-46805 and it recently started having problems. I'll describe the order of events since it will hopefully help in diagnosing the issue. When watching a movie with my kids recently, we noticed that the picture looked pretty bad...particularly near the edges of the screen. I manually adjusted the blue and red convergance which I noticed took quite a bit of adjusting. That helped with the picture quality, but the edges were still bad. I just figured the set was getting old. Then a week or so later, my son told me that the TV just turned off one day while he was playing a video game. When we tried to turn the set back on, the green light on the power button would light, but then it would go back out right away and the TV never powered up (no TV picture ever came up). I tried again periodically over the next couple weeks, but I always got the same result. A couple days ago, I tried again and this time the TV stayed on, but the picture was all scrambled and not viewable. Since I'm not really in a position to replace this TV right now, I was hoping that I may be able to repair this TV myself (wishful thinking perhaps). Having never used a forum like this before, I'm hoping that someone may be able to help.
Thank you for reading this. :help:
