I think my TV has kicked the bucket.
It hadn't been used in several days (I was out of town.), and when I turned it on tonight, I got sound but no picture. The only thing that appeared on the screen was an occasional patch of blue static, but mostly black. I tried everything I could think of (unplugging it for a while, trying to open menus on the remote, tuning it to a blank channel, etc.) with no results. I've been using it only as a monitor for the DVD player. Haven't watched cable or broadcast with it in years, so it's not the reception.
I've had that set (a 20" GE) since 1991. I've been tempted to replace it with a basic 22" or 26" HDTV, and unless there's a way to get it working, now's as good an excuse as any. The aforementioned DVD player is actually an HD-DVD player, so what the hell.
Anyone got any ideas?
