I'm seeing white!
A friend of mine has dropped off his elderly grandmother's TV set to see if I can fix it. It's a crap mid-2000s Durabrand/Sylvania/Funai 13" CRT. The issue is that the picture is VERY bright, like a flashlight even. (In the attached screenshot, the boxes with text at top right and bottom left are supposed to be jet black!) I actually had to tone down the G2 control to get any picture at all - before this, all you could see was white. When there is no signal, the screen is properly black, but the TV menu text appears blown out. There are also several horizontal lines across the top section of the display. (These lines do not appear with no signal.) I know this TV is probably not worth it to fix, but I didn't have the heart to tell my buddy that, because his granny apparently is attached to this set. I offered him a very similar all-black cabinet Sylvania and he said if possible, he'd rather get the Durabrand repaired. After examination it appears this TV has been left on for most of its life. Lots of dust, and slight burn on the CRT around the edges of their cable box's raster.
EDIT: I apologize for the incorrectly rotated image. I don't know why this is happening and it's outside of my control.
