For the past couple weeks, my TV would make a popping sound and the pic would go blank, sometimes the audio would "skip"....like listening to a rap record This happened to coincide with a lightning strike what took out a couple power supplies on some security cameras. So I was getting ready to write it off as junk.
Last night it quit all together. As luck would have it, when family came for a visit over July 4th, my brother brought me his "old" TV because he bought a new/larger one. The one he brought me is close to 50", and probably newer than the one I have.
If you saw my thread on the bus, this would be the TV above the drivers area. Anyway, I built an enclosure for it while building the bus, so I didn't have to remove it or worry about it falling on me while on the road. So, I dismantled the cabinet last night, since the replacement TV was much larger, but would fit in the wall space with some grease, a shoehorn, and a hammer
I took the old TV out to the shed, and whilst having coffee and a smoke, pulled the back cover off it, and saw 8 years worth of dust collected inside on 2 circuit boards. So I fired-up the air compressor, blew the dust out, and I'm watching it right now
Now I just have to wonder what type of catastrophe will befall me in its place
