Philips 51" CRT projection television and the red will not move vertically. What’s wrong and how do i fix it? ?

Thursday, August 27th, 2009

Model: Philips 51PP9200D/37
Was watching and it suddenly freaked out. Now it looks like you’re watching a 3D movie without the glasses.

This happened to me during warranty. The repairman replaced a part on the board (CPU). He was getting in the truck when the tv freaked out again. He came back and replaced the board. At 3 years it happened again. The repair is $400. I called a 2nd authorized guy who said that he won’t work on 3 year old tv’s.
If you pay $125 for the service call, tell the guy to come with a truckload of Phillips parts. If he has to order a part, the repair is $400. And it comes with no warranty.

Setting Up Your Vizio 50 Plasma

For starters, you can’t even get the thing out of your dad’s truck you had borrowed for the occasion since you were pretty sure your whole car wasn’t 50 inches. The thing must weigh over two hundred pounds is what you are thinking. In reality, you later learn it is over three hundred pounds. But now as you are looking around your home, you realize that even though your brother assured you the wall mounts were a safe alternative to having the beast on the floor, you didn’t want to take down any of your favorite artwork. Plus, even though you know he’s right and everyone has assured you it won’t fall, you are sure to worry about it instead of enjoying your movie.

Can you get a replacement screen for a 65" Hitachi Projection CRT television?

Thursday, August 13th, 2009

I just noticed a sizable crack near the top left side of my screen. The screen is the plastic/vinyl type material. The television is about 2 months out of warranty. Who knows how long it has been there. But now that I saw it, I notice it every time I look at the television. I am just wondering if it is possible to replace the screen or even repair it. And if so, where might I find such parts, I have been searching all afternoon with no luck.

Fresnel screen = 23311896 130.00
Lenticular screen = 23311895 110.00
Protector screen = 23311038 118.00

Andrews Electronics = 1-661-257-7700

Hope this helps you
